Ncuti Gatwa’s first series of Doctor Who is almost here – and to remind us of this, the BBC have released a full trailer.
If there’s one thing to take away from the trailer for the new series, it is this – Russell T Davies is putting every penny of the higher budget up on the screen.
With the premiere of Ncuti Gatwa’s debut series just weeks away, the marketing campaign is beginning to ramp up. First, we got the welcome news that former showrunner and Doctor Who’s most prolific writer Steven Moffat has penned an episode for the new series, which is described as “Hitchcockian” in tone. His episode was directed by Julie-Anne Robinson.
Now, we have a full trailer running to two minutes and change. It’s the most footage of the new series we’ve had so far, from the Tardis crashing through a wall,...

The Tardis makes quite the entrance (we love it!) at Unit in the new trailer for the upcoming Doctor Who season, the first full one for Ncuti Gatwa as the (Fifteenth) Doctor and Millie Gibson as his companion, Ruby Sunday. “What if I change history by stepping on a butterfly?” Ruby worries as the two go off traveling through space and time on adventures. The trailer offers a look at some of the wild times and fun costumes ahead for the Doctor and Ruby, such as exploring the groovy ’60s, the Regency era in England, war-torn futures, and more (“Oh my Bridgerton!” she exclaims at one point). Plus, get a first look at Indira Varma as the Duchess, as well as some of the season’s other guest stars, which include Aneurin Barnard (Roger ap Gwilliam), Anita Dobson (Mrs. Flood), Yasmin Finney (Rose Noble), Michelle Greenidge (Carla), Jonathan Groff, Bonnie...

“No job. No boss. Just fun.” That was the offer the Fifteenth Doctor made to Ruby Sunday in the Doctor Who series 14 trailer. ‘And’, he should probably have added, ‘quite a lot of mortal peril,’ – but when has the Doctor ever been upfront with companions about the not-insignificant dangers of travelling in time and space? He probably doesn’t even fill in a risk assessment.

According to a report, new Doctor Who companion Millie Gibson is leaving after her first series, and her replacement has been cast.
We’ve only had one hour of Ncuti Gatwa’s era of Doctor Who. However, in production terms, the second series is currently filming, and willl be broadcast in 2025.
While there are many advantages to filming so far ahead, one of the disadvantages is that information is harder to keep contained.
Which leads us to some news that was first reported by The Mirror – so do take it with a pinch of salt – but the story’s been picked up by a lot of websites, and it looks as though there’s something in this.
Apparently, Millie Gibson will leave Doctor Who after the 2024 Christmas Special. The new companion is said to be Varada Sethu, who is best known for starring in Neil Cross’ apocalyptic drama Hard Sun.

This Doctor Who article contains spoilers.
The Fifteenth Doctor era of Doctor Who is well underway with Ncuti Gatwa‘s first full episode helming the Tardis. This year’s Christmas Special, “The Church on Ruby Road,” saw the Doctor not only face off with mischievous Goblins with a taste for baby scones but also meet his new companion, Ruby Sunday (Millie Gibson), who brings plenty of her own mysteries to the show. Who are her birth parents, what does her neighbor Mrs. Flood have to do with the upcoming season’s overarching plot, and what’s going on with the Hooded Woman who dropped her off at the church 24 years ago?
All questions we’ll have to wait to have answered in series 14, which is officially being marketed as Doctor Who season 1, marking the start of a new production era for the show, with returning showrunner Russell T Davies back at the helm.

The BBC has been receiving complaints about the first of the three Doctor Who special episodes, The Star Beast.
News has appeared this morning of the BBC receiving 144 messages from viewers, complaining about the inclusion of a human being in the Doctor Who episode, The Star Beast.
As reported by Deadline, the ire of the complainants is being aimed in the direction of Yasmin Finney, who plays the human character of Rose (the new Rose) in Doctor Who.
Deadline notes that one person has claimed the character is “anti-male”, and another talked of the “inappropriate inclusion of [a] transgender character.”
That character in question is Rose Noble, the daughter of Donna Noble and Shaun Temple.
Rose happens to be both a human being and transgender, and this is discussed in The Star Beast, in a short sequence. Finney herself happens to be a human being who is transgender, and she also...

As a transgender Doctor Who fan, I'm thrilled about Rose Noble. Doctor Who Season 14 Episode 1 was the first of three 60th anniversary specials, and it included a transgender teenager whose mother was one of my favorite new series companions.
Rose got to do everything Doctor Who companions have done for six decades.
She befriended an alien, got caught up in a dangerous situation, and helped save London. She was courageous, curious, and had an appetite for adventure.
And she did it all while also being a member of a supportive family and a teenage girl with people shouting their disapproval at her from the streets based on their own transphobia.
It's hard to put into words what this meant. I've been a fan since before Doctor Who was cool -- I watched the classic series on PBS with my brother and later with the only other kid I knew who'd...

The 60th anniversary specials of Doctor Who are coming to feature-packed DVD and Blu-ray releases in December.
At the time of writing, the first of three Doctor Who 60th anniversary special episodes has been broadcast. They’ve seen David Tennant return to the Tardis, accompanied by Catherine Tate as Donna Noble.
The three episodes – The Star Beast, Wild Blue Yonder and The Giggle – have also marked Russell T Davies’ return to the showrunner job on Doctor Who. He’s been busy scribbling the new episodes, that have been going out back in a Saturday night slot.
Furthermore, just as when Davies brought Doctor Who back in 2005, we’re getting some feature-packed discs to go with the show. The BBC will be releasing the 60th anniversary specials on DVD and Blu-ray, just in time for Christmas.
