Historic Casting
Gatwa’s casting marks a huge milestone for Doctor Who because he’ll be the first black actor to ever play this role. He said he feels “a mix of deeply honored, beyond excited and of course a little bit scared” after being cast as the next Time Lord because the show means so much to so many people around the world including himself.
(@bbcdoctorwho)Gatwa’s Track Record
Like most of the previous Doctor Who stars, Gatwa already became a household name before stepping into this role. He’s best known for playing Eric Effiong in the Netflix teen series Sex Education and we’ll soon get to see him alongside Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling in Barbie.
Russell T Davies Return
Gatwa’s casting won’t be the only major shift you’ll notice when Doctor Who comes back for Season 14. Russell T Davies, who served as showrunner during Christopher Eccleston’s and David Tennant’s tenure, is coming back and many fans of the show are hoping he’ll return Doctor Who to its former glory.

Buckley is the young actor who took on the icon role of Jay in the tragic teen comedy, The Inbetweeners. If you can’t quite place which one Jay was, look back at the most cringy and obscene things that were said across the series. Jay probably said them.
The Doctor Who showrunners have been keeping details of the New Year’s Day special close to their chest, but they have now confirmed that Buckley will have a guest role. No details have yet been revealed about his character but we do know that his episode will be “action-packed,” according to producer Matt Strevens.
Buckley said (via Digitial Spy) of his casting, “It was surreal to be on such an iconic show and I’m really happy to be part of something so well loved. Hope everyone enjoys it!”

Unsurprisingly, the doll sold out extremely quickly following Jodie Whittaker’s Doctor Who debut last weekend (October 7). Luckily, you can sign up on the site to be notified when more come in stock so you hopefully won’t be waiting long.
The opening episode of the new series has managed to draw in more viewers than David Tennant’s, Matt Smith’s and Peter Capaldi’s openers. It’s also attracted an astonishing amount of female viewers for the first time.
“More girls than boys (under-16s) watched Jodie Whittaker’s Doctor Who debut – 378,000 v 339,000,” Parker wrote. “Last year’s series opener: 143,000 girls / 390,000 boys,” said Robin Parker.
Doctor Who continues with ‘The Ghost Monument’ on October 14.
