Talk:John Hurt

How is john hurt related to dr who?
 * Number one, that comment violates our spoiler policy. Number two, this page is presently entirely in-universe. He was mentioned in the narrative of a Torchwood episode; that's how he related to the DWU! --SOTO ☎ 07:53, April 3, 2013 (UTC)
 * You should've removed the spoiler, IMHO, SOTO.

My theory
I know this is speculation. But instead of being an "8.5" or the "Real 9th Doctor", I reckon John Hurt will be playing an older Eighth Doctor. In the flashbacks, there was no Eighth Doctor, in the time stream sequence at the end when they were running past, there was no Eighth Doctor.

This way, none of the regenerations get messed around and from a story perspective it can still make perfect sense, not to mention, the costuming is a mix between 8 and 9. So that's my theory, John Hurt is playing an older 8th Doctor.
