The future is here: Ncuti Gatwa has been announced as the next Doctor to take control of the TARDIS
Star of stage and screen, Ncuti Gatwa is best known for his critically acclaimed performance in SEX EDUCATION as the iconic Eric Effiong, for which he was awarded Best Actor Award at the Scottish BAFTA’s in 2020 as well as numerous nominations including Best Male Performance in a comedy programme at this year’s BAFTA’s.
Speaking of his new role, Ncuti said: “There aren’t quite the words to describe how I’m feeling. A mix of deeply honoured, beyond excited and of course a little bit scared. This role and show means so much to so many around the world, including myself, and each one of my incredibly talented predecessors has handled that unique responsibility and privilege with the utmost care. I will endeavour my utmost to do the same. Russell T Davies is almost as iconic as the Doctor himself and being able to work with him is a dream come true. His writing is dynamic, exciting, incredibly intelligent and fizzing with danger. An actor’s metaphorical playground. The entire team have been so welcoming and truly give their hearts to the show. And so as much as it’s daunting, I’m aware I’m joining a really supportive family. Unlike the Doctor, I may only have one heart but I am giving it all to this show.”

— Playing Dennis Nilsen in Des couldn’t have been more different. Did you feel a sense of responsibility to the real story?
— At every stage, we talked about the risk of being titillating or memorialising Nilsen. It was right to come into the story at the point the world found out about him. He’s never going to be understandable – it made more sense to tell the story from the point of view of the people trying to uncover the truth.

Honestly, I really wish you could see me, it’s quite funny. I’ve got big boots on, so I don’t get caught in the mud, with a tiara, and there’s lots of sheep everywhere. It’s very glamorous.

We saw some amazing actresses for this part. But when Karen came through the door, the game was up — she was funny, clever, gorgeous and sexy. Or Scottish, which is the quick way of saying it. A generation of little girls will want to be her. And a generation of little boys will want them to be her too. -Steven Moffat
