March 17th, 2013 - 8:12pmWow, 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! 😀

March 17th, 2013 - 8:11pmIs it a cyberman at the very bottom left of the painting it looks like it

March 17th, 2013 - 7:42pmIt’s not. Gallifrey no longer exists. It must be the Fields of Trenzalore.

March 17th, 2013 - 3:49pmMaybe that forest could be part of The Death Zone on Gallifrey from The Five Doctors.

March 17th, 2013 - 2:08pmHang 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.
The TARDIS
March 17th, 2013 - 1:55pmA collector obsessed with the Doctor who has Doctors 4-11 and paintings of the first three?

March 17th, 2013 - 1:43pmWhere? could you link an image? I can’t see any creatures.
Dawn
March 17th, 2013 - 1:33pmHave you ever looked really closely at that picture – all of the members of the Alliance are in there, and the Silence

March 17th, 2013 - 11:46ammabey the eleven doctors run and fight monsters while they are in the paintings
This is gallifrey, our childhood, our home
March 17th, 2013 - 11:42amI 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

March 17th, 2013 - 11:23amsorry, “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.
the astronaut of death
March 17th, 2013 - 10:52ammaybe 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.

March 17th, 2013 - 10:17amIt will probably not have a huge significance to the story. The episode’s so secret at the moment that it can’t have

Tardis’nt
March 17th, 2013 - 9:08ami think all the other doctors might just apear as paintings
The TARDIS
March 17th, 2013 - 8:52amIn the Big Finish audio Tales from the Vault, there is a painting that shows whoever looks at it how they die…

March 17th, 2013 - 7:52amWithout there memory wiped
Doctor 909
March 17th, 2013 - 7:52amMaybe a weeping angel appears on a picture everywhere in space and time and brings the doctors to Gallifrey??
Dalek The Supreme
March 17th, 2013 - 4:22amWell, I am completely stumped now… Just please let there be Daleks in the special!

March 17th, 2013 - 12:17amMy 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)
weeping angels
March 16th, 2013 - 11:00pmmaybe all the aliens are painted and then come to life????????????????????????????????????????
