20 Greatest Moments In Modern Doctor Who

Vincent and the Doctor is an extraordinary episode of Doctor Who for a number of reasons.

Chief among them is the final scene in which the Doctor and Amy take Vincent Van Gogh to see how he was remembered, years and years after his death.

Surrounded by his work, seeing it appreciated by future generations, Vincent is overwhelmed by the love for his art, and we're overwhelmed watching him! Bill Nighy enhances the scene with his passionate speech about Vincent's life, while Tony Curran tackles a challenging moment with impressive levels of vulnerability and earnestness.

However, this doesn't heal Vincent's pain, whose mental health struggles are rooted in much more than the lack of appreciation for his work. It's a complex and honest portrayal of depression that to this day feels groundbreaking for Doctor Who.
