Doctor Who fans give strong verdict on Ncuti Gatwa's performance as the Time Lord as new series begins


Doctor Who fans have given their strong verdict on Ncuti Gatwa's debut as the 15th Doctor after the BBC series returned on Saturday.

In the eight pacy episodes full of action, we see the Doctor racing across London on a snazzy 60s scooter, narrowly escaping explosions and monsters with his new assistant Ruby Sunday (former Coronation Street actress Millie Gibson). The second part saw the Doctor, who is a Beatles fan, take Ruby back to 1963 to meet his heroes, who are recording at Abbey Road Studios in London. Born in Rwanda and raised in Scotland, Ncuti was inspired to become an actor after watching David Tennant in the role.
