Ncuti Gatwa is the 15th Doctor

[Annie McCoy]

A little thing I love about him that some might not is the way he speaks, I love hearing the Doctor say babes?!?

Ncuti has joined the cast of the remake of War of the Roses, opposite two names often mentioned wishfully in connection with the Doctor, Olivia Colman (who has of course been in the show) and Benedict Cumberbatch.

He also recorded an audio with McCoy at BF (before he was big).

Sadly it was a one-part story and not a full-length adventure.

Hey, that's one-part better than no part, right?

Plus Bill Bailey who has appeared in Who and apparently brought a foundling bird backstage but sadly it just missed Cummerbund. According to the book I bought Mum today from an RSPB site.

Now he could be fibbing to keep the real situation secret, but in Russell's interview in the 'Radio Times' where he talks about the proposed schedule for S3, he says the plan is to start shooting once Ncuti finishes in "The Importance of Being Earnest". (For which I've just booked my tickets.)

So February next year.

It sounds plausible anyway. They'd then likely meet a spring 2026 premiere.

Credit where it’s due to RTD on meta storytelling. Has a Harbinger show up before destruction and a threat of the end to things.
Puts Mel back in the show.

Loved Mel telling the Doctor to stop his pity party and save the world!

Loved Mel telling the Doctor to stop his pity party and save the world!

"You weren't this worried when you were strolling around in that outrageous coat of yours back in the day, Mr. Pride Man before-if-was-cool, now move your sorry behind before I bring your former Schemer self to teach you a lesson!"

I half-expected the Doctor to mutter "carrot juice".

I don't know if it's the result of the bi-generation or simply because they're now freed themselves of survivor's guilt, but I find Fifteen to have a joyous passion for life and a mandate to embrace all that it has to offer, good or bad. This makes this Doctor perhaps the most sociable and down-to-earth incarnation to date perhaps, but it also makes him more emotional and human than most. Some may call this sense of vulnerability a weakness, and perhaps it is, but the Second Doctor was occasionally scared by monsters too and the Fifth Doctor didn't always operate from a position of strength either.

But I think what the Fifteenth Doctor maintains from all of his predecessors is a willingness to help and face overwhelming odds, even if he may need just dumb luck (or help from others) to pull it off.
