"The BBC’s announcement that the Rwandan-Scottish actor Ncuti Gatwa will play
Doctor Who from 2023 is making global headlines.

Even people who don’t watch the show have been taking to social media to
comment about Gatwa’s casting. The announcement makes his the 14th casting of
the show’s lead actor, the 13th to be male and the first ever to be a person of
colour.

Despite a few of the usual gloomy voices, there is genuine excitement among
both fans and casual viewers, proving that his casting means the 14th Doctor
and the show’s 60th year look to be special."
