5. Vincents Death (Vincent and the Doctor, 2010)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=se_8Z3P7h3s Amy was so convinced, wasnt she? She was so damn certain she and the Doctor had saved the life of Vincent van Gogh. That by taking him into the future, theyd showed him what his art would become, and surely hed be able to go on. Sadly, as the Doctor knew but didnt say, mental illness Does Not Work That Way. Vincent was doomed from the outset, and nothing anyone could have done, short of medication, could have saved him. It was the only way the story could have ended, and it was so very, very sad.
