Rumours

 * It is rumoured that either the Timoreen, the Ha'rik or the Skarkish will appear.
 * It is rumoured that Vincent Van Gogh will stab a yellow monster.
 * Howard Lee plays a character called "Dr. Gachet" . Dr. Gachet was Van Gogh's real doctor, who nursed him during his final years.
 * Nighy plays a Van Gogh expert, with similar fashion tastes to The Doctor himself.
 * Steven Moffat stated in a recent interview that the controversial topic of the regeneration limit for Time Lords will be "addressed in a very, very cheeky way by an old friend of mine" at some point in Series 5. As the "old friend" could very well be Richard Curtis, the issue might be addressed in this episode.
