The world of Doctor Who has never been short on surprises, but the revelation in episode 7 was a seismic shift that kept fans on the edge of their seats. Ncuti Gatwa‘s debut as the Fifteenth Doctor has certainly lived up to the hype, with charisma, emotion, and even more camp injected into this beloved show.
Who is the New Face of Evil?
The latest series introduced a brand-new villain who quickly captured the interest of fans worldwide. While countless theories floated around, it turns out *only one* of those fan speculations hit the mark. Viewers were stunned as they watched the plot unfold in this climactic episode.
Gatwa Brings Versatility to the Role
Ncuti Gatwa has brought a fresh energy to Doctor Who. His journey into becoming the Doctor was not straightforward. As Gatwa himself noted, I didn’t think I was going to get it, British casting has taken a long time to diversify — why would it be now, and why me?
Meanwhile, he’s joined by Millie Gibson, who plays Ruby Sunday, the youngest companion to date. Gibson brings her own flair to the series, perfectly complementing Gatwa’s dynamic portrayal of the Doctor.
A Visual Spectacle
This season, viewers are treated to stunning visuals that highlight iconic moments from across six decades of episodes. This includes scenes featuring key characters like Gatwa’s Fifteenth Doctor and Gibson’s Ruby Sunday.
Their outfits have not gone unnoticed either. During filming, Varada Sethu was spotted in a dazzling vintage yellow dress alongside Gatwa’s always stylish Doctor in a powder blue suit. These glimpses of their stylish attire have set social media abuzz.
A Celebration Like No Other
In honour of Doctor Who‘s 60th anniversary, a special water-based projection display will light up Cardiff Bay. Scripted by former script editor Gary Russell and featuring an updated version of Murray Gold’s iconic theme music, it promises to be an audio-visual feast for fans old and new.
What’s Next for the Doctor?
The current season concludes on June 21, but the excitement doesn’t stop there. The show’s partnership with Disney+ ensures more thrilling adventures for the Doctor and Ruby Sunday.
Gatwa’s transition from his role in Sex Education to becoming a global icon as the Fifteenth Doctor signifies a milestone for both him and British television. It will surely be fascinating to watch his journey continue in future seasons.
