Doctor Who star Ncuti Gatwa poses with sidekick Millie Gibson at US premiere for new season - after it was announced Varada Sethu is set to join them both as new companion


Millie, 19, who is being replaced by Varada Sethu in the sci-fi series after her brief stint as a sidekick, wowed on the blue carpet alongside showrunner Russell T Davies

The second episode of the series will see the Doctor and Ruby Sunday meet The Beatles, but discover that the all-powerful Maestro - played by US drag queen and actor Jinkx Monsoon - is changing history. '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.'
