Ever since John Hurt’s introduction as “the Doctor” earlier this year, fans have been asking: Doctor who? Well, it appears that the answer has been slipped.

During yesterday’s royal visit to Cardiff, costume designer Howard Burden disclosed to the visitors that Hurt, briefly seen at the end of series finale The Name Of The Doctor, will play a “dark” version of the Time Lord, before going on to reveal… “There was a gap between Paul McGann playing the Doctor and Christopher Eccleston, when we didn’t see a regeneration, and John Hurt will fit into that gap. He is a past Doctor, not a future Doctor.”
.....

Also in a revelatory mood during Prince Charles and the Dutchess Of Cornwall’s visit was Jenna Coleman, who seemed to suggest that the only three Doctors to appear in the special will be Matt Smith, David Tennant and Hurt. She said: “We had three different Doctors in [the TARDIS]… John Hurt, David Tennant was back and Matt. Three different Doctors playing against each other.”

I'm sure they're scrambling to figure that out themselves.

I could see Ron Weasly doing it. He'd be ginger.

Benedict Cumberbatch would make a nice doctor

[Mugofdoom]

New doctor already? Seems like we just got this Matt guy.

And I was warming up to him too :(

[Liem]

I don't know about you guys
But I think I like Smith more than Tennant

It's how the cycle goes. First you hate the new doctor then as soon as you start loving him they kill him.

Also, since John Hurt is technically nine, that makes Matt 12. But don't Time Lords only get twelve regenerations?

Twelve regenerations, so thirteen doctors total.

[editline]e[/editline]

As in they can regenerate twelve times.

[Zinayzen]

shit man doc 13 is going to be REALLY REALLY lucky about cheating death if they want the series to keep going

[Liem]

Moffat won't let the show die

[killerteacup]

Fair sure they already subtly retconned the regen limit

[Zinayzen]

He'll probably do something like OH NO IT'S 13 IN TIMELORD NUMBERS, IN YOUR EARTH TONGUE THE NUMBER CANNOT BE PROPERLY CONVEYED, IT IS PARTIALLY FUSED WITH INFINITY

[DJ999]

I do wish Eccleston would show up for the 50th anniversary special.

River gave the Doctor her regenerations, all they have to do is wave a sonic screwdriver and say that means he can regenerate more.

Doctor Frank N. Furter obviously!

[Mimi_C]

Oh god, Tim Curry as the doctor. That needs to happen.

edit:
Then again, he's probably a bit too old now.

[Deiru]

Smith vs Tennant vs Eccleston in this thread?

Tom Baker would like a word, I think.

[Liem]

Tom Baker is my second favorite Doctor, although he's the only one I've seen much of from the old series

[wwlfr]

fuck no stop getting rid of all the good looking doctors

[editline]7th July 2013[/editline]

wait nevermind he's a past doctor false alarm

[Magra55]

garry should do it

[isak]

they should make 13 peter dinklage just to fuck with people

he'd be better than smith, smith combined with moffat's writing style has bored me out of the show

We also can't have people making more and more retarded fan fictions/shipping stories and singing his praises like he's the best actor that walked the earth.

Hopefully the new doc is more like Eccelston's. Chris' doctor was the only one I really actually liked and I'm perplexed as to why he's the more underrated one.
