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.

Doctor Who 50th Anniversary: Today is the Day that Filming Began

It has been quite a journey for the longest running science fiction TV series. As we count down the days and weeks to November 23, let us not forget this day, September 20. This day holds a very significant date for many of the people involved behind the scenes of the original series. Today is the day that they first started filming Doctor Who.

Our Complete List of Sci-fi and Fantasy TV Shows this September

From all new shows to all new seasons, September is starting out to be one of the best times to be sitting on the couch with a remote control on hand (or a TiVo keeping track of things). Regardless of how you’re catching the latest episodes, what matters is not missing out on a single one. So here’s our list of upcoming (and currently running) shows for everyone to keep track of (in order of appearance).

Zombie Featurette: Walking Dead, Infectonator Hotchase, and Haunted Hollywood Sports!

October is just a few weeks away and that means we’ve got a massive load of undead goodness just waiting to be enjoyed. And this week, we’re giving everyone the choice of how they would like to deal with zombies. First, you can watch them like we’ve always had since the days of Romero’s first film. Next, you can simulate being in control of them in an awesome new free app. Or, lastly, you actually get off the couch and deal with them in person (you’ll have to trek over to Bellflower, California, but it will be worth it)! 

Here’s a peek of what’s below the jump:

Walking Dead Season 4 is coming out on October 13. With last season’s cliffhanger taking a totally different direction from the comics (which are also awesome), it’s going to be hard to predict what new sort of trouble Rick and the rest of the survivors will be getting into. But one thing is for certain: who everyone’s favorite character is.

Toge’s Infectonator Hotchase is finally out on the Apple iOS. This is the first of the several zombie-themed app games that we have been waiting for and it certainly does not disappoint.

Haunted Hollywood Sports tickets are available! If you missed out on last year’s events, then you better not miss this one now. They’re also adding in new features like the Venom (which adds the additional thrill of surviving against traps aside from dealing with the undead) in addition to the already impressive Zombie Killhouse.
