NEXT STOP EVERYWHERE 193: "Vincent and the Doctor" Is Up!


"Hold my hand, Doctor. Try to see what I see. We're so lucky we're still alive to see this beautiful world. Look at the sky. It's not dark and black and without character. The black is in fact deep blue. And over there! Lighter blue. And blowing through the blueness and the blackness, the winds swirling through the air. And there, shining, burning, bursting through, the stars! Can you see how they roar their light? Everywhere we look, the complex magic of nature blazes before our eyes."
"I’ve seen many things, my friend, but you’re right -- nothing’s quite as wonderful as the things you see."
-- Vincent van Gogh and the Eleventh Doctor, Doctor Who: "Vincent and the Doctor"
