John Hurt, currently on a break from filming commitments in Hungary and Canada has had a few new words on Doctor Who ahead of his role this November in The Day of the Doctor
“I think that the continuing popularity of Doctor Who over so many years relies on its ability to reinvent itself. The style of writing, the format of the programme and the excellent casting have all kept pace with contemporary idioms and of course, the possibility of the regeneration of the Doctor himself means that the programme never becomes stale.”
Hurt, 72, acclaimed for his roles as diverse as Quentin Crisp and The Elephant Man, will play a “dark” version of the Doctor this November
“Doctor Who is not something I ever thought I’d be a part of but it’s something I am delighted to have done. It has been a great experience to be involved in the anniversary programme and I have huge admiration for David and Matt.”
Mr Hurt also confessed his favourite Doctor was “my old friend Tom Baker who I believe was responsible for a massive surge in the popularity of the programme which may well have ensured its extraordinary longevity.”
