RIP John Hurt

"Death is the one certainty we have - why take it away?"
- the War Doctor, Legion of the Lost

Well, the late 2010s celebrity purge has claimed its first Doctor and it's fair to say everyone was surprised it wasn't Tom Baker (who, of course, was totally psyched up for it). Losing John Hurt, a fine actor who was that guy in V for Vendetta, 1984, The Elephant Man and of course Spaceballs is a hard blow, especially as he was ricocheting off the walls with awesome in the Big Finish Time War series.

Alas, it seems that particular book - the metatextual analysis of "the Wilderness Years" - over.

And it had a nice cover, too.
