John Hurt will be reprising his role as the War Doctor for a new series of audio adventures, it has been announced today (Monday).

The veteran star of the stage and screen – who was iconically introduced as the Time Lord’s lost incarnation as part of the show’s 50th anniversary festivities in 2013 – will reclaim the spotlight in the original Big Finish range which will consist of four boxsets containing three hour-long stories each. The first, Only the Monstrous, is out in December and has been written and directed by Nicholas Briggs.
