    .this is my theory

    I think a long time ago the doctor was told that his name is a dangerous name it is a name that destroys worlds so the dr made a promise to gallifrey to never say it so he needed to choose a new name so he chose the name the doctor and he would live on as the doctor and never reveal his name.

    but when the john hurts dr was fighting in the time war he realised the time lords were going to loose and the daleks were going to escape gallifrey and destroy more worlds as they lived on. but the dr needed to change that so he chose he was going to sacrifice the time lords and kill both the time lords and the daleks by revealing his name witch would destroy gallifrey and kill the daleks so the doctor said his name and gallifrey and the daleks died and the dr escaped.

    after the time war john hurts dr realised what he had done and was ashamed in himself and he realised this current incretion dose not deserve the name the doctor because he broke the promise so the doctor killed him self so he could live on and start a new life and forget about the evil dr who destroyed gallifrey….and broke the promise

    please reply and tell me what you think

    May 19th, 2013 - 6:50pm

    Does anyone think that many unexplained and random occurrences throughout Doctor Who were from Clara? When I saw that scene and they explained I immediately thought of ‘Timelash’ where the TARDIS was going to blow up and be destroyed and after about 10 minutes of tension and it blows up, it immediately comes back, unharmed, and the Doctor couldn’t explain. Of cource it was jus Glen McCoy being lazy and a bad writer, but I thought about that and several other occurences where the Doctor was randomly saved and I now wonder if Clara is the reason.

      What elixir. I just saw the TARDIS blow up with the Doctor and H. G. Wells in it and then they suddenly, for no reason, come from a door in the main room and then the Doctor only says “I’ll explain it later.” I just thought, since that is what was said, that all the weird and random times the Doctor was saved that it could be Clara.

      That’s not very good, only 3 of these are from part 2, I think they should have new waves or a set from each episode with two or three figures in, or even just the clara and paternoster gang sets!

    May 19th, 2013 - 1:03pm

    It’s a bit stupid beacouse if there only is 12 regeneration s Steven has just ruined it if John hurt turns out to be the 9th doctor it means we have missed many 7th doctor episodes and 8th already this means we lose out more with johns doctor and also means if there is only 12 regenerations matt has 1 to go wich is why I did not enjoy dr who last night and was really hoping for a 2 part ending at least 🙁

      May 19th, 2013 - 2:55pm

      John hurts doctor is apparently the ninth doctor, but did something bad in the time war which made it so he wasn’t worth of the title as the 9th doctor. So chris ecccleston is the 9th doctor but john hurt is doctor 8.5. This is just a rumor but it makes sense.

  • Dalek Smith

    May 19th, 2013 - 11:11am

    guys i think i have figured out who john hurts doctor is he is the first doctor, william hartnell was the first regeneration, john hurt did something so bad the only way to get away from it was to run away, change his appearance and change his name hence the reason matt smith said that whatever john hurt did it was not in the name of the doctor because it was before he became the doctor

      i totally believe your theory! thats what i thought at first even look at my early coments, though rumors have it john hurt is playing the ninth doctor thats why the ninth doctor was in the script and not Christopher Eccleston! and if you see his costume its mixed between 8th and 9th. i hope he is a younger first doctor, please be true! if he is then we should expect him in a figure form soon! (hopefully in a 5 inch size!).

      Best of the series

      However i miss the RTD big finals if i’m honest

      The biggest problem for me is because of news papers and spoiler sites ( and i dont go looking for spoilers anymore) what happened is more or less exactly what i expected to happen, it seems impossible to keep things a secret now.

      I think he is a older version of the 8th doctor

    • Bow Tie wearing Stranger

      May 20th, 2013 - 9:07am

      So the possibilities are:
      John Hurt = pre Hartnell incarnation (before he takes the name Doctor)

      Missing regeneration/Time War between McGann and Ecclestone

      Final regeneration (post Valeyard)

    • Bow Tie wearing Stranger

      May 20th, 2013 - 9:11am

      Evidence:
      Early Time Lord history shows they were corrupted by power. Perhaps the earliest version was also tainted (eg early friendship with the Master). Committed some early deed that required (a lifetime) of atonement?

      No regeneration shown, Time War resulted in devastation across time and space. John Hurt saying what he did, he did with no/little choice. A terrible act, but perhaps the lesser of many evils?

      Valeyard was the malevolent personality from between the 12th & 13th incarnations. Perhaps corrupts the final incarnation?

    Warning Spoilers: So if john hurt is the Doctor then the doctor history is ruined! Moffat has ruined the doctor who if john hurt is the 9th doctor, that means the Christopher Eccleston is the 10th doctor! and the regeneration scene of the 8th doctor to john hurts 9th in the 50th anniversary! will we also get a 5 inch john hurt figure? so what do u think of this! also people say he could be a young first doctor or the valleyard or even the 12th doctor!

    • Matt smithy

      May 19th, 2013 - 12:43pm

      Um, it’s not a rule that he gets younger every time… if it was explain the 2nd to 3rd Doctors, how would Jon be older than Pat? And Connor, Chris will still be the 9th Doctor, but the 10th incarnation, as John Hurt’s Doctor is the 9th incarnation, but he went by his real name, not the Doctor, because of what he did in the time war. That’s why he doesn’t show up when the bad guy is told to look up “the doctor”, because he goes by his real name.

    • Connor

      May 19th, 2013 - 1:56pm

      the only problem is i want a regeneration from 8 to 9! and when i mean 9 i mean Christopher Eccleston not John hurt! but i bet you in the 50th anniversary they will start off with the 8th doctor regenerating into john hurt and then the story begins. if this is true i will hate the 50th anniversary and Steven Moffat forever! whats your thoughts on this?

    John Hurt will portray a ‘forgotten Doctor’. He isn’t the future Doctor, Eleven knew about him (The Doctor doesn’t know about his future incarnations..)
    And John Hurt is a Highly regarded actor and is a film legend, he is perfect for The Doctor!! 🙂

      In the classic Three Doctors episode. The Hartnell & Troughton Doctors have knowledge of Pertwee’s Doctor. They also connect telepathically. So perhaps Matt Smith’s Doctor – or earlier incarnations – may have crossed paths with a later version?

      no the 13th is. But if John Hurt is 9, then 9 is 10, 10 is 11, 11 is 12, etc.

    • Nicholas

      May 19th, 2013 - 10:21am

      John is 9, but didn’t call himself the doctor (he broke the promise). Which makes him the 9th Incarnation of the same timelord, but not the 9th incarnation of the Doctor.
      So 9 is the 10th Incarnation of the timelord, but the 9th Doctor. I hope that made sense….

      Anyway, I would really like a John Hurt Figure released
