Meanwhile, on Twitter...

• 00:01 Pulling a ridiculous shift because our magazine was supposed to be on press at 9am. Just spoke to the printers to be told "We moved it." #
• 00:02 This after speaking to them yesterday to see if we could wrangle Saturday morning as extra setting time. ARGH. #
• 00:04 That said, had a number of nice comments from clients today, including "You're the reason why I continue to do business with your company." #

Review: Doctor Who - Vincent and the Doctor

When it was announced that Richard Curtis, creator of Blackadder, The Vicar of Dibley, writer of Four Weddings and a Funeral, Love Actually and Notting Hill, would be writing an episode of Doctor Who I was hopefully optimistic. At least, I thought, it should be funny.

And this week's episode, in which the Doctor and Amy meet Vincent Van Gogh, doesn't disappoint on that level, playing up on Matt Smith's comedy timing beautifully.

But it's more than that. Much more. This episode was a showcase episode - intelligent, complex, getting some stunning performances from its stars, beautifully shot, touching, thought provoking, even heartbreaking...

Not just the episode of the Matt Smith era so far, but very possibly the episode of the entire nu-Who run.
