Whoa. On one level I knew we were up to Eleven, but I'm still surprised to see the Valeyard already. If John Hurt is the Valeyard - but if he isn't then they've done something really random to throw all the old school fans off.

I gave my thoughts on Star Trek yesterday :P

From what I've read, John Hurt plays the Ninth Doctor (the "real" Nine). According to this site:
John will play the real Ninth Doctor. Christopher Eccleston has always been thought of as the Ninth Doctor but now that John has been revealed as the Ninth Doctor, it shuffles Eccleston’s Doctor to be the Tenth Time Lord, Tennant the 11th and Smith the 12th.

The reason the Doctor has forgotten his ninth incarnation will become clear but it’s to do with the Time War and his shame over his behaviour in it.
