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.

SFX Poster for Doctor Who's 50th Anniversary has a Faux Pas

We're totally excited for the upcoming 50th anniversary episode: The Day of the Doctor. But seriously, someone in SFX (for those unfamiliar, it is a UK magazine) or BBC really has to start checking promotional photos more carefully. As awesome as it may be to have David Tennant, John Hurt, and Matt Smith on a single photo, one can't help but look at the text on top and not giggle like a gradeschooler.

Apparently, SFX has been pretty consistent with this. Check past the jump to see more of their previous DW-themed S_X covers.
