Emotions are everything, not convoluted world-building with nonsense made-up names.

BBC Emily Cook, a writer for Doctor Who Magazine, brought up the idea on twitter with the hashtag[...]

Fans already remember the reveal of John Hurt as a hidden War Doctor, so yet another hidden Doctor popping up was part of the show's methods. This was an exercise is deep fan service – and like it or not, Chibnall has become an expert at it. "Fugitive of the Judoon" is a masterclass in how to[...]

With "The Day of The Doctor", we got possibly the best multiple-Doctor crossover that also introduced John Hurt as the War Doctor and brought back Tom Baker for the first time in decades And of course, we got Smith delivering one of the most poignant regeneration speeches as his swan-song The highs of his run[...]

Avon was still cynical but reluctantly led the rebellion in Blake's absence. BBC Darrow studied acting at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts and shared a flat with fellow actors John Hurt and Ian McShane Hurt, of course, played Quentin Crisp, became the first death in Alien and played the War Doctor on Doctor Who[...]

While there have been attempts to alter the look of the Daleks over the years, it seems like Doctor Who viewers are really big fans of "bronze"...

John Hurt died in 40 movies Bela Lugosi died 36 times Vincent Price died over 33 times You can see in the video that plenty of famous actors died lots of times, but none of them are famous for dying Lugosi and Price were known for being actors in horror movies John Hurt was just[...]

The British thespian and recipient of a Golden Globe Award and four BAFTA Awards (along with two Academy Award nominations), John Hurt, has passed away from complications believed to have arisen from a multi-year battle with pancreatic cancer.

Chris Evans is brooding and anguished as the reluctant rebel leader, Tilda Swinton petty and craven, yet pathetic as a political party hack possibly inspired by Margaret Thatcher, but without the elocution lessons and the media training, John Hurt is weary and furtive as the wise elder nearing the end of his time, Alison Pill[...]

If it happens on the TV, it's canonical, unless it isn't (For example, no-one seems entirely sure whether we get[...]

I've been to Gallifrey One a couple times even. I've enjoyed all the talk about the 50th anniversary, and all the theories on the message board since the mention of The Valeyard at the end of The Name Of The Doctor.  The Valeyard was first seen in The Trial Of A Timelord, in the Colin Baker 6th Doctor era, and[...]

Something we managed to miss a whole month ago. TV, comic and novel writer Paul Cornell wrote a blog post about his upcoming final Doctor Who comic book

It has been Bleeding Cool's assertion for quite some time that John Hurt is playing the ninth incarnation of the Time Lord mostly known as The Doctor in the show Doctor Who… which pushes the other incarnations up one, Christopher Eccleston is now ten, David Tennant is eleven, Matt Smith is twelve and Peter[...]

But add that to the clothing choice of a certain John Hurt on the set has led to some entertaining speculation. Note, as I said, that this is pure speculation, but there's always a possibility, however doubtful, that it might be true Know that going in. So who is John Hurt really playing? What if he's… The[...]
