Doctor Who Question

[shadowkat]

Should make dinner but not sure what I want. Scrolled through flist and...
Regarding Doctor Who, what the heck is Valeyard? Or Vanyard? It's referred to in more than one post - as what they might be doing next year and who John Hurt might be, and I'm confused.

"There is some evil in all of us, Doctor – even you. The Valeyard is an amalgamation of the darker sides of your nature, somewhere between your twelfth and final incarnation, and I may say you do not improve with age."
The Master to the Sixth Doctor, The Trial of a Time Lord: The Ultimate Foe

Basically - canon evil!Doctor. (Wiki here)

ETA: John Hurt!Doctor is - I presume - Time War Doctor, but as he is obvious a dark aspect of the Doctor I, too, am tempted to call him Valeyard.

So...sort of like the cyber-planner/Mr. Clever and the Evil Doctor in S6 or S5 that popped up?

I would agree though as the Doctor gets older...he seems to be less heroic and more arrogant and righteous...they've definitely made the Doctor darker with time.
