John Hurt As The Doctor

Three Doctor Whos standing together

To say that I am excited to see John Hurt play a version of The Doctor for the Doctor Who 50th anniversary special is an understatement that is as small as the TARDIS is big on the inside.

Hurt has the perfect combination of menace, playfulness, refinement and working man aesthetic that will, hopefully, make him a perfect Doctor. And, as wonderful as David Tennant and Matt Smith have been in the role, it is going to be refreshing to see Hurt’s older, grizzled visage tackling the character.
