Not really, no, I very much doubt that SM would have tampered too much with the work of someone with the Hollywood pedigree of Curtis. I have certainly read that Curtis himself reworked elements of the script, but I find the notion that SM would have done a massive rewrite of it himself faintly absurd tbh.
Well this article on the BBC tried to make it sound like Curtis had to do massive rewrites but as usual its lazy journalists making a story out of nothing. He just had to make the Doctor sound more like the Doctor and ..
sat and could not place where I had seen the man playing Vincent before...Tony Curran - I so very much love him!! (in everything I've seen him in) soon as I remembered that he was Marcus in Underworld 2, that made me think about the fact that Bill Nighy is in that too.
Actually I've changed my mind now. I guess was just expecting something VERY different under Curtis' pen, in the sense that the dialogue style would be a huge deviation from what we're used to...but I'm now thinking this isn't the case
I know ... and if I'm not mistaken it is because the sound of "gh" isn't used in other languages than dutch. Still as a native dutch speaker (actually flemish, but close enough) and having the same "gh" in my last name it really sounds weird to hear it mispronounced heh

Apologies for using a spoiler for a rubbish joke.
Oh take it to QI!
Very curious about Amy crying at "nothing"

Bless you
And Bill Nighy is just a god amongst men isnt he?
I have reached the point of almost dreading each episode...the series is coming to an end very quickly it seems!
wonder how much of a part Bill has...

Could be worse.
They could be calling him Vincent Van Go.
Doctor - "F@ck it! F@ck! F@ck. F@ck. F@ck. F@ckity f@ck! Bugger."
Like it!
