Ncuti Gatwa: Where To See The New Doctor Who Star's Previous Roles
Ncuti Gatwa has been confirmed as the Fourteenth Doctor in Doctor Who — and here's where viewers can check out his previous roles. Jodie Whittaker's era as the Thirteenth Doctor is coming to an end, and she's departing alongside current showrunner Chris Chibnall. A new era is about to begin, heralded by the return of Russell T. Davies — the man behind the 2005 relaunch, who promises to breathe new life into the world's longest-running science-fiction TV show.
After months of speculation, the BBC has confirmed 29-year-old Ncuti Gatwa as the Fourteenth Doctor. "This role and show means so much to so many around the world, including myself, and each one of my incredibly talented predecessors has handled that unique responsibility and privilege with the utmost care," he observed in an official statement.

With the announcement made, the BBC intends to enter a period of radio silence about Doctor Who's future, hoping viewers will focus their attention on the upcoming Doctor Who Centenary Special in which Whittaker will regenerate.
