Ncuti Gatwa is the 15th Doctor


Link is down but here they are...

I bet the link will be made live again shortly. The post had this quote from RTD:
“They're back! And it looks impossible - first, we announce a new Doctor, and then an old Doctor, along with the wonderful Donna, what on earth is happening? Maybe this is a missing story. Or a parallel world. Or a dream, or a trick, or a flashback. The only thing I can confirm is that it’s going to be spectacular, as two of our greatest stars reunite for the battle of a lifetime.”
 
The news story does not say this is for the 60th anniversary episode, so perhaps the idea that they're doing multiple one-offs featuring past Doctors for the anniversary year has some truth to it.
That would also be consistent with Rachel Talalay being pictured with both Peter Capaldi and Matt Lucas
 
The 10th and Donna were my favorite doctor/companion pairing, so I’m so excited that we’re going to get to see them in action again! What a gift!
 
Just saw this over on Facebook, too, and YouTube is also speculating on impending 60th anniversary news.

But Davies said they wanted to focus on Jodie's entry before releasing any news after the Centenary Special, so I'm skeptical we're actually going to get any news on that front.

Remember, that's the same set of emojis that Ncuti posted on Instagram except the square turned 90 degrees to a diamond. I suspect people are reading too much into this.
Ah, well, this is me wrong then.

Great news nonetheless!
 
I think a lot of people haven't realised yet what an enormous stroke of luck 'Doctor Who' has had getting Ncuti right as he's on the cusp of becoming a massive star. He's spent the weekend hanging out with some of the most famous people in the world at the front row of Prada's big fashion show, something I can't imagine any of the past Doctors getting an invite to.

The downside is I can't see him hanging around too long with Hollywood knocking on his door. (Actually they've already knocked, since he's currently staring in a movie with Margot Robbie, Ryan Gosling and a host of others.)

Oh, and I don't know what he's going to be wearing as the Doctor but I know it's going to be fabulous.

So long as whatever he's wearing suits him as The Doctor that's ok. I wouldn't rule out something muted and his personality doing all the heavy lifting to be honest!

If that was his Doctor's costume I'd be cool with it.
The guy seems to look good in anything.

I can hardly wait to see Doctor Who again, its been too long, 3 years too long; the more I read the more I am stoked about what Davies has instore for the franchise.
 
^^Ditto, and everything i see happening on the run up to RTD returning with the show looks great, so now we just need someone to leak the new version of the theme and also some leaked images of new tardis desktop theme. :-)
 
Ncuti could possibly carry off Peter Anghelides' Future Doctor ensemble of Afghan coat, bracelets, mustard yellow knitted waistcoat... but not the ginger curly hair.

Question is, will Ncuti keep the 'tache and thus be the first permanently facial haired Doctor?
