New doctor

Post by Capt. Sir Dominic Flandry »

New Doctor Who announced. Ncuti Gatwa. I hope the BBC can buy him a shirt when he starts work.

I've not seen him in anything before, but people who have watched Sex Education seem to think he'll be a good Doctor. I'd never heard of Matt Smith before either.

I've never heard of him but I trust RTD to get the casting right. I can't say I'll miss Jodi or Chris Chibnall very much. Blimey, that recent Sea Devils episode was atrocious.

I enjoyed the new episodes but that casting of Isaac Newton was a disgrace. Newton was not that tall in real life.

I think Doctor Who needs a rest and a new production team, writers and Doctor. I bailed out for good in that scene where the Doctor keeps dancing to Kylie Minogue. This second RTD era is so bad I almost miss Chris Chibnall.

Why does he have a different hairstyle and costume each week?

Oddly, this was answered one day after your post. Not that the answer is very convincing.

If anyone missed the last episode, Ncuti regenerated into Ryan Sinclair at the end and he was riding his bike around the TARDIS.
