    I noticed that it’s hard to find your website in google, i found it on 26th spot, you should get some quality backlinks to rank it in google and increase traffic. I had the same problem with my site, your should search in google for – insane google ranking boost – it helped me a lot

    Dorian has already appeared. Dorian Blue.!All the Doctor’s evil into the previous incarnations like a picture of Dorian Grey. You could manage to get the oldies in this way.

    Maybe the classic Doctors (1-7) are represented by spiritual paintings with their spirits, ergo they move and talk because the paintings ARE the Doctors spirits.

    😯

    That would be cool.

    Maybe that forest could be part of The Death Zone on Gallifrey from The Five Doctors.

      It’s not. Gallifrey no longer exists. It must be the Fields of Trenzalore.

      Just because it isn’t the death zone doesn’t mean it’s automatically the fields or Trenzalore. After all, it’s a forest. Not a field.

      Field could mean anything?

      I came up with an idea for a story called “Paint it Black” where some creatures, when they touch you, transfer your soul into a black and white painting, leaving your body painted black. Although I doubt it’ll be anything like that… I have faith in Moffat to come up with a much better story!

      TARDIS, that is a VERY good idea. email it to the BBC.

    I think it might be like the comic ‘The Forgotten’ where the Doctor finds himself in a gallery with pictures of himself, and each time he looks at one he remembers a story with him and a past companion, would be a brilliant way to get all the old doctors back, and you could animate the others as well

    maybe it is about that painting van gogh painted of the tardis exploding and everyone thought that painting was meant for the pandorica open but actually it has always been meant for the 50th anniversary.

      Have you ever looked really closely at that picture – all of the members of the Alliance are in there, and the Silence

    • Matt Smithy

      March 17th, 2013 - 1:43pm

      Where? could you link an image? I can’t see any creatures.

    • Dawn

      March 17th, 2013 - 2:08pm

      Hang on I know it’s on my FB will get the link for you.

      In the meantime, my theories on the matter:

      Vincent’s Painting – I’ve always thought that it looks like 2 Tardises rather than 1 exploding, that scenario has been said to create a hole in the Universe.

      If you look carefully at the painting you can see a Dalek, Silent and a Weeping Angel heading towards the explosion. (I was mistaken about the Alliance in my earlier reply)

      The Image of an Angel is an Angel

      Sally Sparrow handed her documents to The Doctor, on the top of this file is a photograph of an Angel.

      Is it a cyberman at the very bottom left of the painting it looks like it

    • Doctor Stu

      March 17th, 2013 - 8:12pm

      Just beneath the beginning of the explosive spiral in the middle left

      March 17th, 2013 - 11:07pm

      Can I get some evidence of this? I’ve looked all over the picture and can’t see a thing apart from the TARDIS exploding. I’m really interested to see these Dalek, Cyberman and Weeping Angel but can’t find them! 🙂

    It will probably not have a huge significance to the story. The episode’s so secret at the moment that it can’t have

      Then what would be the point of wiping their memories? I’m interested to see how they’ll behave now that they don’t remember the Doctor anymore.

      My 50th Anniversary Hypothesis

      This is a list of all the plausible episode ideas I can think of

      Krafayis – Monster from Vincent Van Gogh episode.

      Weeping Angels – Once a painting has had an angel on it long enough it turns into an angel ( Maybe the doctor touches the painting a d gets sent to the past maybe When Gallifrey was in the time war)

      Silence – Based on the scream painting (Scream painting also was containing the warp core)

      Guernica – the 8th doctor ecountered this painting that changes our perception of history (maybe he never timelocked Gallifrey)

      Something to do with Mona Lisa’s Revenge – (Sarah Jane Episode)

      Something to do with a soul extractor – (A device used to take some of an artist soul and put it into a painting)

      sorry, “episode 8”. wow. Why not just call it series 8 epsiode 1. So what if you only did 5 episodes last year so this makes up the rest, It’s a NEW YEAR with a NEW TARDIS, NEW COMPANION, and NEW COSTUME.

      Wow, I just spent forever trying to find the clip searching “episode 1”, and only find it as “episode 8”. Why do people that upload videos not even know what number the episode it is! 😀
