That wonderful actor John Hurt has died after fighting pancreatic cancer and intestinal complications aged 77.

Enjoyed so much of your work.

He had been ill this past year. One of the most erudite and clubbable actors ever, I'll never forget his voice. Such a sad loss but he has left behind a vast opus from Rich Rich to the Alien by way of the Elephant man kids radio the stage
