Whereas Richard Curtis writer of "Vincent and the Doctor" was already known to Steven Moffat as a Doctor Who fan, Neil Gaiman's feelings on the topic had not been made entirely clear to him. But having read his novels over the year, a certain shared point of view became apparent, as Steven explained to Doctor Who Confidential : "It occurred to me—not for the first time, knowing Neil's work—I just thought 'this guy's a Doctor Who fan.

I can tell, I can smell it! He loves Doctor Who. He's practically writing Doctor Who in disguise. Neil's idea for the story came from a key moment of confrontation , as he told Doctor Who Confidential : "The central idea of the story was what would happen if the Doctor and TARDIS actually got to talk.

Idris began manically calling the Doctor "my thief" and tried introducing herself properly as the TARDIS, but could not remember what the words were.

She was quickly followed by Uncle, Auntie and Nephew, who tried to keep Idris away from them by lying about her being insane.

When told to get some rest, Idris asked if there was an off switch and instantly fell asleep, before being carried away by Nephew.

She was locked away in a small cell. After regaining consciousness, she began rambling random things that she would later say to the Doctor and his companions until noticing that the Doctor was no longer with her; she then called out to him.

Goofs Idris censures The Doctor for the way he enters the Tardis - pushing the doors inwards whereas she points that the sign on the Tardis says 'Pull to open' Whilst it is true that the original police box doors did open outwards, the sign in question is part of the Tardis that contains the telephone for the public to call the police.
