John Hurt’s Birthday
Screen legend Sir John Hurt was born 22 January 1940 and today celebrates his 77th birthday!
Hurt’s entrance into the world of Doctor Who was of course a hugely memorable one when he first appeared as a forgotten incarnation of our favourite Time Lord in The Name of the Doctor, and then more significantly in the 50th anniversary special, The Day of the Doctor.
Happy birthday, Captain Grumpy.
