Ncuti Gatwa: BBC names actor as next Doctor Who star

The star of Netflix's Sex Education will replace Jodie Whittaker in the BBC science fiction show.

I don't think I've seen them in anything but that probably shows how out of touch I am...

I just saw that today, too.
I haven't been able to find a schedule for any remaining episodes featuring Jodie Whittaker or when Ncuti Gatwa will take the TARDIS helm.

I don't know the date, but there is one more "special" before the end of the year. I'm guessing will be aired somewhere about Halloween or just before the Xmas season. [BBC is 100 years old on 18 Oct so that is a slot too I guess]. Gatwa will be shimmied in, just in time for the Doctor Who 60th Anniversary season.

Now all that Russell has to do is generate some good scripts. If that happens I might consider viewing the show again.

Here's some detail about the selection from the NYT.

NuWho feels to me like a long succession of great actors/ Doctor personalities utterly stymied by awful scripts and the dead weight of continuity.
