!Spoilers! Series 5 trailer !Spoilers!

I stand corrected. It is Series 5 and is written by Richard Curtis. Drat, that's 2 historicals in one season. At least one has Daleks in it

Yes we need more Daleks, lol. The reason I remembered was that when I saw the pictures I thought the actor that's playing Van Gogh looks a lot like the actual person. Of course I wear glasses so don't shoot me if I'm off.

No, he does look a lot like Van Gogh! (And am I the only dork who thinks of that odd Red Dwarf joke, when the Cat says "Vincent Van Gogh Gogh Gogh?" )

It's funny, about a year ago I bought a compact mirror at a store to use at my job (quality control, I have to look down inside aluminum posts & the mirror helps keep my neck in good shape!). All of the mirrors had famous paintings on them, and the one I picked out is Van Gogh's self portrait! I peeled off the painting sticker and set it aside... I had a mind to throw it away, but decided to packrat instead. I'm glad I did -- now I can make a mini wooden frame for it and stick it in the TARDIS!

I hope they're up to date on their research. Van Gogh didn't cut off his own ear, Gauguin did it.

I think there's a good chance the Doctor will accidentally cut off!

April 17th premiere date for BBC America. (link to Variety.com)
