DOCTOR WHO returns to the 1960s and here’s our first look at Ncuti Gatwa’s Fifteenth Doctor and Millie Gibson’s Ruby

The BBC has released a first look at Ncuti Gatwa as the 15th Doctor in the upcoming season of Doctor who with his partner Ruby, who is played by Millie Gibson. As you can see, they sport a very 60s style look, and this is sure to be a fun era to play in.

There are no details to share regarding any sort of story, but the new showrunner of the series, Russell T. Daviesstated that an episode of the new series is “one of the greatest things I’ve ever accomplished in my life”.

Doctor who will return in November 2023 with three special episodes that will see David Tennan return as the 14th Doctor to coincide with the show’s 60th anniversary, e Catherine Tate she will also return as Donna. The first episode of Gatwa will air during the holidays.

Davies previously spoke about the journey leading up to the introduction of the 15th Doctor: “If you thought David Tennant’s appearance came as a shocker, we have plenty more surprises to come. Ncuti’s path to the Fifteenth Doctor is filled with mystery, horror, robots, puppets, danger and fun. And how does that relate to the return of the wonderful Donna Noble? How, what, why? We give you a year to speculate, and then all hell will break loose.”

There is also a Doctor who spin-off series in the works that will focus on the military research organization UNIT, which has appeared various times in the franchise since 1968. That series will star Jemma Redgrave as Kate Stewart, who appeared in 10 episodes of Doctor who since 2012. The spin-off will focus on Stewart running the organization.

Speaking earlier about his spin-off plans, Davies said: ‘So I thought – without any criticism of the people who were running it at the time, because they were running it within BBC measures – it had come time for the next phase for Doctor Who. I thought the streaming platforms were ready, the spin-offs were ready; I always believed in spin-offs when I was there. I did Torchwood as a spin-off, The Sarah Jane Adventures as a spin -off. Those spin-off -offs dropped off when I left, and I can see why. And I left well after 2008, when money got scarce, I think it’s fair enough for the public service broadcaster that the money is spent on other things.”
