In 1940, a painting of T.S. Eliot was made. On one occasion, the Tenth Doctor visited the National Portrait Gallery and saw the painting there. It was signed by M. Sillington. The Doctor supposed that it was the same M. Sillington that he met at Gallows Gate Road. (PROSE: Number 1, Gallows Gate Road)
