Doctor Who John Hurt Interview - Matt Smith, David Tennant & 50th Anniversary

[@9til5wizard]

"This ain't no cult, THIS IS MAINSTREAM."- Fantastic.

[@TranscendentLion]

Two reasons why this video is awesome. 1. Doctor Who. 2. John Hurt.

[@MonkeyBusinnesss]

The greatest Doctor of all! We miss you, John!

I wish Sir John Hurt had been able to deliver at least one more onscreen performance as the Doctor. I feel like The Day of the Doctor was the culmination of his entire career. All those other roles he played throughout his life were preparing him for the time where he would play "the one who broke the promise". Sir John was already legendary outside of Doctor Who but very few actors could be hired at the last moment and play an iconic character in a franchise that's at the peak of its popularity whilst making it feel like he should have been there all along.

Bless this mans soul. Rest in piece angel.✨

[@willdaviesable]

RIP, John Hurt. :(

[@Tulf42]

I reckon John Hurt should have his own BIG FINISH audio adventures as the WAR Doctor! That would be something! What do you guys think? It helped people keep in touch with Paul McGann after his 1 episode, so I think they should do it for John too.

[@Isthun]

Oh yes. OOOH YES. That's a great idea :D His voice is so awesome !

[@doctorwhofan2563]

They don't have the license to make anything from the new series, but that would be fantastic when they do get it.

[@Tulf42]

Doctor Who Fan Damn licenses! We'll get someone who sounds like John Hurt and create the ultimate War Doctor Audio Fan-Fiction EVER! XD

[@doctorwhofan2563]

Tulf42 That would be so much fun to write. The Time War has so many possibilities...

[@Isthun]

Doctor Who Fan Are there audio fan fictions in english? In the french speaking countries, we have a lot of amateur audio plays (called "sagas mp3"), and I even think one or two parodies of Doctor Who. I've always wondered if that was a thing in other languages too.

[@TwistedSynn]

o John, poor John, it's Doctor Who, there's always a reason or cause to revisit past doctors, ALWAYS!!!!

[@SuperMarioDWfan]

And I just got his signature :D Awesome guy!

[@splatinumm]

theres not many more of those, nowadays

[@maiarousseau3151]

May he rest in peace

[@BeezoHow]

Brilliant!

[@amanul_2474]

This is what the word 'Wisdom' would look like if it was a person

[@darknesspacman]

Bro all these comments from 6 years ago are sad to look at. Rip John Hurt

[@tobymears7328]

Just an idea but I think Paul Darrow (Avon in the old Blakes Seven series) would make a good Dr Who, he already said in an interview that he'd like to play him. He's 72 now but would make a refreshing change from the string of younger docs.

[@doccube9892]

Or maybe Peter Capaldi???

[@DravenGal]

**Crying**

[@braydentaylor6516]

88th Like For John Hurt!

[@bobska_2]

i like your picture 10th nice i think the 10th doc is the best

[@braydentaylor6516]

+Dominic galea thanks xD

[@The8thDOCTOR]

I love John Hurt especially his portrayal of Caligula and Quentin Crisp but I did not find him remarkable as "The War Doctor", he looked confused with the script and his character was underplayed. Perhaps that is why Chris Eccelston did not come back. Exclaiming "FANTASTIC !" would not be a plot enough.

[@obscureentertainment8303]

Even the greatest actors in the world struggle to mine gold from poor scripts. Not that I'm saying the 50th was bad or anything, but Sir John probably didn't have a whole lot to work with and didn't have a lot of time to find his character like David and Matt did.
