Ncuti Gatwa is the 15th Doctor

Again, I see nothing in that casting call to suggest Autons.

That said, it's cool to see they're looking for non-binary actors specifically, meaning the character they're casting is non-binary.
 
Yeah, nothing shouts Autons to me either. This one less than the previous because they're seeking professional, non-binary folks who can bring their own clothes.

I'm curious, what makes you think Autons?

No doubt I'll end up looking foolish but I've thought for a while that if they did bring them back they could put them in the Influencer/Social Media Personality world since they're the real world example of fake plastic people. And reading the casting descriptions reminded me of those types of people.

Like I say I probably will be spectacularly wrong.
 
^^ It's a great idea. And actually I'm surprised they haven't done an episode where some threat attempts to take over the world via "Influencers"!
 
They've been out and about shooting today. No one seems to have got any photos yet though, so here's the first look at Ncuti in "Barbie" until we get something.

Almost front and center in the trailer and standing next to Ryan Gosling. Yeah. I don't think he'll do more than 2 to 3 years as the doctor since Hollywood's already knocking at his door.
 
I was just about that post those!

I love the attire for both of them. Nice touch with the rings! I don't think The Doctor has worn any rings since The First (maybe Third and/or Twelfth?).
 
Ah, that's right. I added that parenthetical after the post because suddenly I had that vague recollection.
 
Hmm. I like me some orange, but that may be a little too much orange. Otherwise, not too bad.
Like a monotonal Sixth Doctor in a way… that’s its overall feel actually. Very Colin.
 
What are the chances of having an orange van right there?


I was hoping someone would make a joke that the van is the TARDIS lol. The new outfit looks more like it belongs on the runaway for a winter clothing line. It's more relaxed like Capaldi's later styles but not too costumey like maybe Davison or past doctors.
