Doctor Who showrunner Russell T Davies reveals he wanted Ncuti Gatwa's incarnation of the Time Lord to be 'more emotional' as he tips him to be the next JAMES BOND
Russell, who returned to the series as showrunner in 2022, described Sex Education star Ncuti as 'already one of our great actors'.
The BBC sci-fi show will return to screens on May 11 with two episodes, titled Space Babies and The Devil's Chord, starring Ncuti Gatwa as the new Doctor, opposite former Coronation Street actress Millie Gibson as his companion Ruby Sunday. 'More so than in his two previous appearances, Gatwa gets to run the gamut of the Doctor's emotional complexity here – their joie de vivre, their compassion, their absolute compulsion to keep on moving forward and never look back, but also their shattering loneliness.' 'In the opening two episodes of his first full series with his new Doctor, Ncuti Gatwa, and companion, Ruby Sunday, Davies certainly goes to amazing places with an almost child-like glee — all aided by dollops of cash from its co-producer Disney that can really be seen on screen.'
