Gaz-L posted:Dark Eyes is basically Big Finish doing just that while Nick Briggs puts on his best innocent face and shrugs. I've been rather enjoying just how much Time War stuff they've managed to slip in there. I wonder if this is some kind of lead up to an expansion of BF's license. I'd kill for a couple War Doctor audios. Or at least an explicit mention of the Time War going on and 8 doing his best to stay out of the way.

As someone who has yet to listen to any of the Dark Eyes stuff, what sort of nods have they been doing?

Dark Eyes 2 in particular has an offhand mention of greater trouble than usual brewing between the Daleks and the Time Lords and then the Master specifically says he was brought back to life by the Time Lords for "something". In the revival show he has that whole thing of "I was brought back to fight in the time war but I got the heck out of there"

It's less "nods" and more of a pervasive "War is inevitable, lines are being drawn, armies amassed, something big is gonna happen!" atmosphere throughout the later EDAs and Dark Eyes.

Another way to go about it would use him for narration, and the majority of the story be a flashback with a "younger" John Hurt substitute for the War Doctor. Would cut down on the paycheck too, which I'd imagine would be another road block to getting him on audio. Of course, it's all New Who so it's a moot point now but then we could get an 8/War Doctor team up, which I'm sure would have a TON of friction (depending on how far along in the EDA timeline the doctor is from, he doesn't see himself participating as moral until right at the end after all). jivjov posted:Dark Eyes 2 in particular has an offhand mention of greater trouble than usual brewing between the Daleks and the Time Lords and then the Master specifically says he was brought back to life by the Time Lords for "something".

It's basically stopping just short of name-dropping the Time War once it makes the 'Master brought back for his war-fighting ability' connection.

It wouldn't surprise me if hes done radio dramas on BBC radio in the past either. Actually he almost certainly has given that pretty much every British actor you can think of has done them at some point.

I don't care much for audio drama, but FYI, John Hurt was also Aragorn in the animated Lord of the Rings from 1978. It's allegedly fairly terrible, though.

I think it's more interesting to talk about the types he goes back to. I Mean, I know he's said that the Scotsman interview was mischaracterizing something he said "in character" as his self-insert from Coupling, but the guy seems to have some kind of complex about being "the Junior" in relationships with women. One of the types he goes back to is a powerful woman, in business attire, who negates the agency of men. I think that says something about him.

He's definitely got issues, there's no doubt about that. Maybe he's never been able to get over his divorce from his first wife. I've heard it was a bit acrimonious.

DoctorWhat posted:I'm surprised it's not talked about more then - is it due to libel laws or something? Yeah. Despite being pretty reputable when it comes to this kind of thing, Private Eye has a history of settling libel cases because of how the UK's libel laws work. That's part of they they've developed so many euphemisms to talk about things they can't quite prove. On top of that the other outlets that would talk about it, the tabloids, are more interested in glamourous types than in middle aged Scottish showrunners.

As for a younger John Hurt Doctor being portrayed during the Time War.. John Hurt has at least one son who has entered the acting world off the top of my head. Cheaper, and more early stories abound.

That new monster looks awesome. Also I'm fairly sure that's the only spacesuit costume the show has.
