Bill will play a curator of Van Gogh paintings in the episode, one of the first series featuring new Timelord Matt Smith.

Only in Hollywood have vampires been affected by daylight

Uh, could someone explain this thread to me. Nighy has a cameo a museum curator in the episode.

Might be jumping to conclusions, unless it van gogh the vampire

In the present day, not the 19th century.

There's no indication that Nighy appears anywhere but in the 21st Century.
