He's also wll enough to do cons - just read in the new DWM that he and Derek Jacobi, Colin Baker, Jackie Pearce and others are at a con in Brighton on the 7th and 8th of November.

Agreed, I'm glad he said 'No More' to cancer and managed to fight it off. Would have been a shame to have lost such a fantastic actor to such a terrible illness.

Super excited about this love him as an actor, hoping this might mean even more stories from The War Doctor. Maybe a multi doctor story with other Doctors?

He isn't quite in the clear yet, but this is certainly wonderful news, hang in there Sir Hurt. A fine actor, a true gentleman and a brilliant Doctor, I wish him all the best for the future.

Would love one of his stories to be with Jacobi master would be great I'm not sure that's feasible. didn't he say that he had regenerated into that body as a boy after running from the time war and had hidden behind the chameleon arch all his adult life?

Tennant's John Smith thought he had parents named Verity and Sydney as well.

Hmm, true. I'd need to rewatch but got the distinct impression he'd been there all his adult life, or thought he had

It'd be interesting to see a past Doctor meet him. if he's in "Day of the Doctor" mode, there'd be very little conflict, but throw in 10 .... How would the past Doctor(s) react to a future self who outright says their compassion was a weakness and a further future Doctor who hates himself? i can see sixie dubbing War "Valeyard-Lite" and "Diet-Valeyard" in a fit of pique.

Keep on fighting the good fight John, excellent news this, John's really throwing himself into the Doctor Who universe with audios & conventions.

I wonder if his cancer diagnosis was partly his motive to now do Big Finish. Assuming he's undergone chemo, it would only be natural for him to seek less strenuous work and audio dramas might have seemed pretty enticing. It's great to hear he's in remission. Keep on fighting Sir John!

John Hurt has done quite a lot of voice work including some BBC radio dramas (most recently the Jeffrey Barnard play) so yeah, more of that type of less strenuous work at this stage of his life probably was very enticing. I'm glad he was up for it anyway, as War Doctor audios are what I really wanted to hear.

I can't wait for this. I was initially attracted to BF for more stories with Paul McGann, since McGann only had one story on TV at the time. Now, John Hurt only has one story on TV, and I'm looking forward to hearing more of him. I wonder what he'll call himself, and if he'll get some kind of companion. I hope Timothy Dalton shows up as Rassilon at some point. It would also be cool to have Jacobi show up as the Master. I would gladly ignore the plot hole of Ten not recognizing him (maybe he shaved his beard after he used the chameleon arch), and we know chameleon arches implant false memories so we don't know that Yana was found as a boy on the shores of the silver devastation.

I'm immensely glad to hear this news. I hope Hurt will do quite a lot of Big Finish for us. Like the previous poster, I was also thinking that Timothy Dalton would be an amazing get for BF for the War Doctor plays. Can you imagine Hurt and Dalton sharing scenes? Talk about an embarrassment of riches. That would be some stunning audio.
