John Hurt is such a brilliant actor. That gravelly voice of his is so distinctive yet recognizable. Gives me a geeky thrill every time I hear it.

Jenna you was amazing and Clara was my favorite companion! She is the one that has had the most real impact in the doctors life.

This is controversial, but I think John Hurt has a cooler voice than Morgan Freeman. Just putting that out there.

i can see where playing the doctor would be hard. you have to bring your own stuff into it but at the same time stay true to the character that the doctor has ALWAYS been. it's gotta be tough but it's also gotta be the best character to play ever.

"we've got some 1970s cybermen" and then they show us a 1980s cyberman and a 1960s one. I suppose you could average them out and get 70s...

[@Freshie207]

Well they only appeared once for the whole decade so people actually might not be familiar with the 70's Cybermen or the costume might be hard to pick up, oddly though they had the head of one in Dalek.

[@electricmastro]

I think that Revenge of the Cybermen was the only full appearance of the Cybermen in the 1970s.

[@Freshie207]

electricmastro Indeed it was and it wasn't as good as the episode that proceed it "the Invasion" or the one after it "Earthshock".

[@electricmastro]

Freshie207 Is it really alright to call it an "episode" when it's technically made up of multiple episodes?

[@Freshie207]

electricmastro Don't know I've always thought of them as an Episode/Story but made of parts e.g Earthshock Part 1. But then when you watch the Hartnell era all the parts had individual titles so perhaps they are better termed episodes? I guess it just depends on which era of the show you think of firstly Hartnell era fans and New Series fans would likely view them as Stories made of Episodes whilst being a predominately 70's fan (through my dad, I grew up during the wilderness years) I view them as episodes made into parts.

[@paulashe7460]

Dr Who was always a very sophisticated production for its day. Young brilliant staff creativity and forward thinking. It’s scenery may have shook once in a Jon pertwee story. But it’s a diatribe spouted by people who clearly don’t know the series

“There’s some original 70s Cybermen over there” and then shows 60s and 80s Cybermen. But seriously, I loved John Hurt as the Doctor. He brought such gravitas to the role. I wish they’d given him a series. Whether it be John Merrick, Bob Champion, Quentin Crisp, Caligula or that guy who has an alien jump out of his stomach - there’s not a single thing that I’ve seen John Hurt do that wasn’t great.

[@sidyable]

I see that at the time of this interview the host did NOT see or even know about The Night of The Doctor! wow good to see they do their homework. The Night of Th Doctor answers the question of weather or not John Hurt is an official doctor!

[@electricmastro]

John Hurt plays, essentially, the ninth incarnation of the Doctor.

[@TheCrulZ2348]

R.I.P John Hurt

[@WhovianSentaiRiderFan]

XD

[@osiancoleman8447]

Clara worked for me best in this special as John Hurt had better chemistry with her than any other doctor. He rlly knew has to play to her strengths and didn’t big her up in a dramatic way but instead Subtly and respectfully. He was the kind of doctor she needed. Don’t get me wrong Capaldi and smith r amazing doctors but she works better as an actress with him.

[@tomnorton4277]

Jenna acted circles around Peter Capaldi in his first season despite being 28 years younger than him. John Hurt and Matt Smith were on her level but there's a reason Season 8 is called Clara Who and, despite the narrative that's often thrown around on the internet, it isn't the writing. Season 8 was written to give Clara and the Doctor equal amounts of development, so if Peter was a better actor, they would have felt more evenly balanced. John Hurt could have handled the "am I a good man?" story arc easily without feeling like a supporting actor. Doctor Who became Clara Who for a whole season because Jenna Coleman simply has more talent than Peter Capaldi. You can say it affects Clara and the Doctor's chemistry but that's inevitable when one side of a relationship has more charisma and is putting in all the work.

[@doelroarpa3489]

[@Tazyyyyy]

r.i.p

[@TwistedSynn]

I'm wondering how they are going to handle this, is John hurts Doctor going to count as one of the regenerations, or since watching The night of the Doctor, since it wasn't a normal regeneration because he used the Elixir of the Sister hood for the regeneration maybe the John Hurts doctor is an extra that doesn't count towards the 13 incarnations all together.

[@markjones6293]

jenna coleman and alex jones now theres a fantasy

[@LokrowN]

Actually, David Tennant regenerates twice so he is the Tenth and the Eleventh, Matt Smith is the Twelvth and last of the 'conventional' Timelord lives set and Peter Capaldi is the Thirteenth.

[@adamharvey28]

Counting Hurt's doctor he is 11 and 12

[@LokrowN]

That's the thing, it's never clearly explained but Matt Smith is the 12th, he says it before regenerating. A Timelord only has twelve lives possible. Maybe John Hurt's Doctor is supposed to be an aged out 8th Doctor, we can't really say the opposite since we didn't see much of the 8th Doctor so I guess that must be it. That is, unless Stephen Moffat explains it later.

[@adamharvey28]

Lokrow P I think your a bit confused a time lord can have 12 regenerations and 13 different faces per regeneration cycle. So you have got doctors 1-8, then Hurt's doctor, then 9, then 10's two regenerations and then 11. So 13 faces 1-8 + Hurt's+9+10s+11=13. So the 12th doctor is doctor number 13 but regeneration number 14 or 1 because he has a new regeneration cycle.

[@MANJYOMETHUNDER111]

Lokrow P The John Hurt Doctor cannot possibly be the Eighth Doctor. Go watch Night of the Doctor. Also, Smith says '12 regenerations, 13 faces, 13 versions of me. He never regenerated into his first face.

[@CosmicCamelClash]

He said "12 regenerations, 13 faces, 13 versions of me", not that he was the 12th Doctor. He's officially Eleventh because the War Doctor and David Tennant's regeneration don't count as new iterations of the character.

[@greatsayain]

what do they mean by "garden shed"? I googled it already and what I found doesn't really apply. (at least I hope not) maybe someone familiar with English slang can help.

70's cybermen? One's from the 60's and the other from the 80's, now I'm no expert but doesn't that make them..... Well.... Not from the 70's??

[@josephchambers2000]

John Hurt and Jenna Coleman were both wasted on Doctor Who. They were written awfully and the only character they did right in that special was Tennant, probably because he wouldn't let them do his Doctor wrong.

[@N2HeroProductions]

You might. I kinda don't think of Donna much.

[@aperson22222]

LifeIsARide I don't like Donna, but she did play a pivotal role in many stories. Clara's only pivotal role to date was in "Name of the Doctor," which has been pretty much retconned into insignificance since. And there is nothing, _nothing_ she did in "Day" that could not have been done by anyone else you could possibly name. She's so . . . _generic._

[@OpenMawProductions]

aperson22222 Except for the fact that SHE did do it. What did she do? She was the one who gave 11 the idea, and the gump to try and change something he never thought he could.

[@aperson22222]

OpenMawProductions Yes, and this "pivotal role" was so generic that you could have swapped her out for anyone, anyone at all, and the only change you'd need to make to the script would be the character's name. The role clearly wasn't written for her.

[@TheElectronicKookie]

aperson22222 The way that Clara delivered the line was written for her, but you are right. If you change around the way a companion delivers lines and throw their name in the script, it would still work perfectly fine.
