Doctor Who review: Ncuti Gatwa has regenerated the TV series and this latest episode with its playful wittiness is not one to miss - even if it does air at midnight writes, CHRISTOPHER STEVENS


CHRISTOPHER STEVENS: We have loved, supported and nurtured Doctor Who for more than six decades, revelling in its best eras and pretending to forget its worst.

The other is set in Abbey Road studios, where the Beatles are recording their first album in 1963, with dance spectaculars and an uproarious panto turn from a villainous drag queen. None of this is the fault of Ncuti Gatwa, who became the 15th Doctor last December, or his new travelling companion, Millie Gibson – who plays Ruby Sunday with just the right amount of sass and wonder. But for the adults, there's lots more sophisticated material to enjoy as well – not only the gigantic set-piece musical numbers, worthy of the West End, but clever references such as the moment Lennon and McCartney discover the one chord that will save the world.
