Mr Hurt, who lives near Cromer, earlier told the EDP he had just finished shooting a Dr Who 3D special in which he plays “part of the Doctor” in a “kind of trinity” which includes David Tennant.
Ever since Hurt was snapped in costume back in April there has been a big rumour circulating claiming that he is playing the role of the “Forgotten Doctor,” one that was “lost” in the Time War between the 8th and 9th incarnation.
His role essentially is a way of filling the void left by Chris Eccleston who was unable to return.
Hurt’s recent comments here could corroborate this rumour, but as ever, we’ll just have to wait and see.
