1. very excited about this

...just as much as I was for Jodie, who was an instant classic.

I also discovered some very good films she'd done previously, having never heard of her before. I should think it will be the same for Ncuti Gatwa.

Should be a trip with his Scottish accent, if it's there. Humor and drama alike are best delivered by Scots.

2. Ncuti was FABULOUS in Sex Education!

TOTALLY different character but I can see him as the Doctor.

3. okay, need to check that out

...like Jodie, I'm sure he'll blend all that into a superb doctor.

Really excited (I always am up for WHO, but especially for a new doctor, although often bittersweet with the exit)

another excellent look at Ncuti:

4. He was brilliant in Sex Education...

Show his full range... funny... tender.. emotional... I am happy about this choice.

5. That many? Good Lord, I go back to Tom Baker!
