Ncuti Gatwa and Millie Gibson have been shooting Doctor Who since 2022 – and they’ve been talking about launching their first full series.
The return of Doctor Who to our screens this coming May bring with it – amongst other things – the first full season for Ncuti Gatwa’s Doctor and Millie Gibson’s Ruby. The pair came together in the 2023 Christmas special for the first time, The Church On Ruby Road, but we now get eight episodes of them travelling through time and space. Eight episodes that began shooting at the end of 2022.
At the UK premiere in London for the new series of Doctor Who, the pair were asked how they’re feeling about properly introducing their characters to the world.
“Crazy”, said Gibson. “Nerve-wracking”, added Gatwa. “It’ll be a lot of people’s first impressions of the show”, Millie Gibson added, “so I think that’s so honourable and wild.

Russell T Davies and his thoughts on writing Doctor Who, with the pressure that comes along with it. More here.
Taking to the stage at the UK premiere of the new series of Doctor Who last week, showrunner Russell T Davies was part of a Q&a session, along with stars Ncuti Gatwa and Millie Gibson. Given that he knows what’s coming long into the future of Doctor Who, it’s perhaps no surprise that so many questions were aimed in his direction.
After a screening of the first two episodes of the new run – Space Babies and The Devil’s Chord – Davies was asked about the process of coming up with a new Doctor Who script. In particular, the pressure he must feel, not least in an era where Disney+ is pumping unheard of amounts of money for Doctor Who into the show.

Steven Moffat returns to the world of Doctor Who with Boom – and Russell T Davies has been talking about the episode.
There’s a mild spoiler for Doctor Who: Boom in this news piece, but it’s not one of the things that the BBC has asked us to keep under wraps.
The UK premiere of Doctor Who series one, or 14, took place in London last week, and concluded with a Q&a session. After a screening of the first two episodes – Space Babies and The Devil’s Chord – there was a brief teaser snippet shown of the third in the new run, Boom.
This, as had been previously announced, is penned by Steven Moffat – his first episode since he handed the keys to Doctor Who over to Chris Chibnall back in 2017 – and directed by Julie Anne Robinson.

The Beatles make an appearance in Doctor Who’s new series – but not with the costly music. Russell T Davies explains more.
The second episode in the new series of Doctor Who – which the BBC and Disney+ seems to be banding, as teased, as season one – sees Ncuti Gatwa’s Doctor and Millie Gibson’s Ruby in London in the 1960s. Revealing only what’s been giving away in the promotion for the episode, the Doctor and Ruby find themselves at Abbey Road Studios for an encounter with The Beatles.
Russell T Davies talked about the inspiration for the episode in question, entitled The Devil’s Chord, at the launch for the new series in London last week. The Devil’s Chord, he revealed, came from a conversation he’d had with a director by the name of Sam Arbo.

When Doctor Who returned in 2005, it was with Russell T Davies at the helm. Next month, the series will once again be relaunched with a new season 1 and, you guessed it, Davies calling the shots.
History has repeated itself, and following in the footsteps of Christopher Eccleston, David Tennant, Matt Smith, Peter Capaldi, Jodie Whittaker, and Tenant for a second time, will be Ncuti Gatwa.
He first played the Doctor in last year's 60th anniversary and Christmas specials, will take centre stage alongside Millie Gibson, and makes history as the first openly queer Black lead Time Lord.
There's inevitably been backlash to the casting - despite Gatwa stealing the show in his previous appearances - but the Rwandan-born, Scotland-raised actor isn't sweating the haters.

Millie Gibson is not going anywhere on Doctor Who!
The 19-year-old actress was reported to being replaced in the 15th season of the hit BBC series, and will only be in the upcoming 14th season as the Doctor’s companion Ruby Sunday.
In a recent interview, Millie opened up about her time on the show and confirmed that she will in fact be in the next two seasons.

“Russell’s given me the gift of a really beautiful story arc, not only in season 1 but in season 2 also,” Millie shared with EW. “Her family definitely structures her beliefs and her positivity.

Russell T. Davies was the man behind the golden age of Dr. Who with David Tennant. Throughout his tenure, ratings were consistently between 7.5 and 8 million per episode. This put David Tennant up there with the Fifth Doctor Peter Davison (1982-84), but behind the Fourth Doctor Tom Baker (1974-80), who at times attracted over 10 million viewers. Of course, it's worth noting that both of these were before the era of so many alternative channels.
First impressions from the Christmas special, The Church on Ruby Road, suggest that Ncuti Gatwa has the personality that the Doctor has lacked somewhat since Tennant left the role. And the chemistry between him and Millie Gibson, who plays Ruby, also gave us something to look forward to when the new season lands on May 11.

Most TV shows cling to their characters and actors, and an important cast member’s exit can even ruin the entire series’ viewership and ratings. That’s not the case with Doctor Who, the TV show that thrives on the reinvention of itself: its very concept has always been about constantly changing lead and supporting actors and moving forward without those pesky emotional attachments. That’s how this series goes.
And even 60 years later, it keeps going — with another big reinvention, of course.
Doctor Who Is All About Starting Over
Seeing how the first Doctor Who episode was aired on BBC1 in 1963, it’s amazing how resilient this series turned out to be. Doctor Who was revived and reinvented in 1996 by Fox; then, in 2005, by BBC One; and now, once again, by Disney Plus. Say what you will, but this TV show knows everything about starting over — and doing it...

With the debut of Ncuti Gatwa and Millie Gibson’s first full series of Doctor Who just weeks away, the marketing campaign is beginning to ramp up.
As well as the release date of the long-awaited Celestial Toymaker animation on home media, the BBC has announced three novels featuring the Fifteenth Doctor and Ruby Sunday.
Here they are, with their official blurbs in italics:
Ruby Red by Georgia Cook
April, 1242: the Doctor and Ruby answer a distress call sent from medieval Russia. The signal’s sender? Ranavere, an alien girl forced to take part in a barbaric conflict between the armies of Estonia and Novgorod on the frozen surface of Lake Peipus. Ranavere wants to escape, but her distress call has summoned her warmongering sisters, intent on preserving family tradition whatever the cost.

When Russell T Davies goes to bat for something, everybody had better duck because that man does not mess about.
Ever since Rtd returned to the show’s top job, he’s stood shoulder-to-shoulder with his predecessor Chris Chibnall and waved away calls from fans to either ignore or rewrite Chibnall’s biggest change to Doctor Who lore: the Timeless Child revelation. Now, Davies is saying that not only will the new series work with the Timeless Child concept, it’s the backbone of the new story.
Davies is summarised in Entertainment Weekly as saying that much of companion Ruby Sunday’s arc was inspired by the Timeless Child plot point. In series 14, both Ruby and the Doctor will be curious about their origins and their similar histories as foundlings will loom large. “That story’s going to be the spine of the whole show,” Davies told EW.

TV is not looking too shabby this week, not too shabby at all. BBC One has the second series of excellent Belfast-set crime drama Blue Lights, all episodes of which are available to stream on iPlayer now. Over on Netflix is excellent seven-part drama Baby Reindeer, an uncomfortably honest dramatisation of creator Richard Gadd’s real-life experience of being stalked. On Prime Video, there’s Fallout, which continues The Last of Us‘ trend of being a videogame-to-tv adaptation that’s actually, you know, good. Also on Netflix is moody, intoxicating psychological thriller Ripley, adapted from Patricia Highsmith’s The Talented Mr Ripley and starring Andrew Scott.
As well as all that, here’s a big look ahead to the new British drama coming up in 2024 and a whisper in your ear to watch Wunmi Mosaku in creepy new Brit mystery Passenger on ITV1, which is well worth a look.

Varada Sethu is joining the Doctor Who team in 2025, and will star alongside Ncuti Gatwa and Millie Gibson.
Back in January, it was reported that Andor star Varada Sethu had been cast as the new Doctor Who companion and that Millie Gibson, who plays Ncuti Gatwa’s current companion Ruby Sunday, would be leaving, but would also continue to make sporadic appearances in the series. There was no comment from the BBC.
Now, the BBC has issued a statement confirming not only that Sethu is the new companion, though it did not reveal details about her character, but also that Gibson is staying on in the Tardis. As such, Ncuti Gatwa’s Fifteenth Doctor will have two companions.

The more companions, the merrier!
Varada Sethu has officially joined “Doctor Who” Season 2 as the new companion of Ncuti Gatwa’s Doctor — but she won’t be replacing current companion Millie Gibson, as previously reported.
In January, rumors swirled that Gibson, who made her debut as companion Ruby Sunday in the sci-fi show’s Christmas special, would not be returning for Season 2 after Gatwa was spotted filming with Sethu. However, it seems the three will take on time and space together in the second season, which is currently in production and slated to debut in 2025 on Disney+ worldwide and on the BBC in the U.K.
Sethu is best known for her role as Cinta Kaz in Disney+’s “Star Wars” spinoff “Andor.” She has also appeared in “Jurassic World Dominion,” “Annika” and “Strike Back.”

The Doctor will be travelling with two companions come 2025, when the sci-fi series serves up its second season starring recently introduced front man Ncuti Gatwa.
Two-and-a-half months after word leaked out of the UK that Andor standout Varada Sethu had joined Doctor Who as a new companion — seemingly “replacing” franchise newbie Millie Gibson (who in the latest holiday special debuted as Ruby Sunday) — showrunner Russell T Davies has announced that Sethu and Gibson will both have a non-seat on the Tardis for the season airing in 2025.

The BBC will release partially lost Doctor Who story The Celestial Toymaker on DVD and Blu-ray, complete with animated episodes, in June.
The animation of 1966 William Hartnell Doctor Who story The Celestial Toymaker was confirmed in December last year, just before David Tennant’s 14th Doctor went up against Neil Patrick Harris’ version of the character.
The BBC has now released the artwork for the DVD and Blu Ray, which you can see here.
Thanks to Amazon, we also know that it will be released on the 10th of June.
The story, written by Brian Hayles with rewrites by script editor Donald Tosh, saw First Doctor William Hartnell and his companions Steven Taylor (Blue Peter icon Peter Purves) and Dodo Chaplet (Jackie Lane) battle the titular Toymaker, plsyed by Michael Gough, as he forces The Doctor to play the impossible Trilogic Game.

Over the years, the Doctor has met all kinds of legendary cultural and societal figureheads across his Tardis travels: Vincent Van Gogh, Charles Dickens, Rosa Parks, William Shakespeare, and Agatha Christie, to name but a few. But he’s never met the Fab Four – until now. The new series of Doctor Who – the first full series to feature Ncuti Gatwa’s take on the iconic Time Lord, with showrunner Russell T Davies returning to the (galli)fray – will feature an episode titled 'The Devil's Chord', in which the Doctor rock out with The Beatles in Abbey Road. And it’s an idea that’s been a long time coming.
As Davies tells Empire – in a major new joint interview with Gatwa to celebrate the show’s latest regeneration – the notion of doing a Beatles episode has always hit a certain stumbling block. But, that in itself became a source of inspiration.

If you thought Ruby Sunday's (Millie Gibson) declaration that one of the situations she and The Doctor (Ncuti Gatwa) find themselves in for Doctor Who's new season is "so Bridgerton" was the only reference to the Netflix period romp, you would be mistaken. Because Queen Charlotte herself, Golda Rosheuvel, is also among the guest stars for the new season.
Rosheuvel will appear in the first episode of the latest run, playing a character named Jocelyn who collides with our dynamic duo. "It’s been amazing to see the whole world appreciate Golda’s talents, because of Bridgerton, and it’s been an absolute joy to invite her to Cardiff to help launch Ncuti and Millie’s first season," says showrunner Russell T. Davies.

It’s the Rani. It’s always the Rani. Even when it definitely isn’t the Rani, well, it’s secretly the Rani.
That’s the running gag in the Doctor Who fandom every time it’s called upon to speculate about who or whatever is behind Something Mysterious and Evil happening on the show. If it’s not the Master, then it’s malevolent Time Lady the Rani. Monsters stealing time, cracks in the universe, milk going off even when kept in an adequately refrigerated container? It’s naughty scientist the Rani (even though it very rarely is).
As played by Kate O’Mara in season 22 and season 24, the character is a classic but little-seen Who villain whose reappearance on TV fans live both in eager anticipation and utter dread of. Four-part 1987 story “Time and the Rani” you see, is not popular.

Doctor Who showrunner Russell T Davies foresees a gloomy future for the BBC, saying its end is “undoubtedly on its way”.
Russell T Davies knows a thing or two about the inner workings of the BBC, given that he’s worked at the corporation since the start of his career in the mid-1980s.
Now the showrunner on Doctor Who, Davies has some gloomy thoughts to share on the future of the BBC. Talking on the podcast They Like To Watch (as picked up by Deadline), Davies talked about the need to make the latest series of Doctor Who a co-production with Disney+, and added that such a deal was necessary in order to secure the show’s long-term future. The reason being that the BBC itself may be reaching the end of its life.

Ncuti Gatwa’s first series of Doctor Who is almost here – and to remind us of this, the BBC have released a full trailer.
If there’s one thing to take away from the trailer for the new series, it is this – Russell T Davies is putting every penny of the higher budget up on the screen.
With the premiere of Ncuti Gatwa’s debut series just weeks away, the marketing campaign is beginning to ramp up. First, we got the welcome news that former showrunner and Doctor Who’s most prolific writer Steven Moffat has penned an episode for the new series, which is described as “Hitchcockian” in tone. His episode was directed by Julie-Anne Robinson.

Doctor Who is one of the longest-running science fiction franchises in the world of entertainment. From 1963 to now, the franchise has only grown bigger and turned better with each successive actor playing the time-traveling extraterrestrial. Till now there have been 14 actors who have portrayed the eccentric character.
Jodie Whittaker’s Doctor Who was not liked by fans (still from Doctor Who)
While the likes of Matt Smith, Peter Capaldi, and Tom Baker have earned acclaim as some of the best Time Lords, others like Jodie Whittaker’s Doctor have not been so well received, leading to a lot of fans turning aversive to the series. But as Ncuti Gatwa debuts as the 15th Doctor Who, things might just have turned better for the long-running franchise.

Goodbye, upside-down dustbins with toilet plungers glued on the front, hello, CGI dinosaurs! Okay, so "Doctor Who" has had CGI dinosaurs before (plus some fun old-school puppet dinos in the Jon Pertwee-era adventure "Invasion of the Dinosaurs"), but it's clear from this new trailer for the upcoming season of "Doctor Who" that returning showrunner Russell T. Davies is playing with a much bigger budget than he had during his original "Doctor Who" revival.
That's thanks to a co-production deal that makes Disney+ the new home of the long-running sci-fi series. The Disney deal means that "Doctor Who" now has vastly bigger budgets to play with, though the trade-off is that Disney gets a vote in the show's creative decisions.
Leading us into the Disney NuWho era is a new Doctor played by Ncuti Gatwa, whose maxed-out charisma stats made him the breakout star of Netflix's "Sex Education." Somewhat confusingly,...

The Tardis makes quite the entrance (we love it!) at Unit in the new trailer for the upcoming Doctor Who season, the first full one for Ncuti Gatwa as the (Fifteenth) Doctor and Millie Gibson as his companion, Ruby Sunday. “What if I change history by stepping on a butterfly?” Ruby worries as the two go off traveling through space and time on adventures. The trailer offers a look at some of the wild times and fun costumes ahead for the Doctor and Ruby, such as exploring the groovy ’60s, the Regency era in England, war-torn futures, and more (“Oh my Bridgerton!” she exclaims at one point). Plus, get a first look at Indira Varma as the Duchess, as well as some of the season’s other guest stars, which include Aneurin Barnard (Roger ap Gwilliam), Anita Dobson (Mrs. Flood), Yasmin Finney (Rose Noble), Michelle Greenidge (Carla), Jonathan Groff, Bonnie...

It’s definite: Steven Moffat has written an episode of the upcoming Doctor Who series, starring Ncuti Gatwa. More here.
Thanks to the hugely entertaining Instagram interactions between Russell T Davies and Steven Moffat, speculation has been rife that Davies had recruited the former Doctor Who showrunner to the new series of the show.
Long story short: the rumour was true.
I think it was Doctor Who Magazine that calculated Steven Moffat had written more episodes of Doctor Who than anyone else. Now we learn that he’s added another, as he’s penned one of the episodes that’ll make up Ncuti Gatwa’s maiden eight-episode run of the show.
Steven Moffat’s episode hasn’t been named, but the director of it has: Julie-Anne Robinson, who helmed the Christmas special, The Church On Ruby Road. She’s said to be directing two of the upcoming episodes. Well, presumably...
