BBC har hittat nästa Doctor Who-skådis

Jodie Whittaker har axlat rollen som den brittiske popkulturikonen Doctor Who sedan 2017, men efter tre säsonger med Whittakers superdoktor i täten har det börjat bli dags att lämna över scarfen till nästa ersättare. Nu meddelar BBC att man redan har hittat nästa doktor: det blir Ncuti Gatwa, som bland annat gjort sig känd sin prisbelönade roll i Sex Education. Detta hade skådisen att säga om äran:

"There aren't quite the words to describe how I'm feeling. A mix of deeply honoured, beyond excited and of course a little bit scared. This role and show means so much to so many around the world, including myself, and each one of my incredibly talented predecessors has handled that unique responsibility and privilege with the utmost care. I will endeavour my upmost to do the same. Russell T Davies is almost as iconic as the Doctor himself and being able to work with him is a dream come true. His writing is dynamic, exciting, incredibly intelligent and fizzing with danger. An actor's metaphorical playground. The entire team have been so welcoming and truly give their hearts to the show. And so as much as it's daunting, I'm aware I'm joining a really supportive family. Unlike the Doctor, I may only have one heart but I am giving it all to this show."

Gatwa blir alltså den första svarta skådespelaren som spelar den tidsböjande utomjordingen. Vad tycker du om detta val? Följer du TV-serien och vad tycker du i så fall om det hela?
