While exploring the Musée d'Orsay art museum in Paris, Amy Pond seems certain that the Doctor is doing everything he can to cheer her up. While he claims innocence (Amy doesn't remember the death of her fiancé, Rory, in last week's "Cold Blood"), the pair seem in awe by some of the work that's on display. Amy seems particularly smitten with the work of the famed post-Impressionist artist Vincent van Gogh, as does the Doctor, but it's a strange speck he notices while looking at ‘The Church at Auvers', as within one of its tiny painted windows is a face that most definitely shouldn't be there. Sensing trouble, the Doctor asks the art historian/tour guide on staff (Bill Nighy) exactly when the piece was painted, as it seems the only way to get to the bottom of things is to travel back to 1889 - just before the artist would ultimately end his own life.

It's another historical adventure for the Doctor and Amy this time around, although it'll take more than just monsters and mayhem to keep those eyes dry this time. Keep reading for the rest of the Doctor Who "Vincent and the Doctor" micro-review!
