Magazine Photo of John Hurt in Doctor Who Reveals 8th and 9th Doctor Costume Details


While Paul McGann and Christopher Eccleston will not be part of the 50th Anniversary special for Doctor Who, it appears their wardrobe manages to make it. John Hurt will be portraying an all new incarnation of the Doctor (revealed in last season's finale) who is said to have been the one who went through the Time War.

In a recent coverage of the upcoming finale by UK magazine SFX, they featured a close up photo of John Hurt (as seen above). Looking at the photos, it is easy to see how 8th's more steampunk-formal looking attire has slowly morphed into the more modern outfit worn by 9th. Hurt's attire serves as a very clever bridge between the two.

More notably, Hurt's incarnation is sporting a device peeking out from his coat. It appears to be the back end of a Sonic Screwdriver's handle. Though at closer inspection, it does not resemble any of the known Sonics used by the Doctor.
