The BBC Didn’t Censor Ncuti Gatwa Over ‘Doctor Who’ Being Renewed, But Says His Comment About Season 3 Was Wide Of The Mark


When Ncuti Gatwa recorded 'The Graham Norton Show,' he appeared to deliver good news for 'Doctor Who' fans, but his comments were inaccurate.

The Graham Norton Show warns journalists that it is not unusual for certain quotes fail to make the final cut, but the switch led some Whovians to question whether Gatwa’s remarks had been censored by the BBC amid uncertainty over Doctor Who’s future. Deadline understands that The Graham Norton Show made the edit to liven up Gatwa’s answer and was not obeying a “sinister” request from BBC bosses. The Graham Norton Show incident has provoked another round of questions about Doctor Who’s future, not least a front-page story in The Daily Mirror from Nicola Methven, who is well-sourced on the Bad Wolf and BBC Studios-produced franchise.
