I saw this very odd profile of a 14-year-old Lalla Ward the other day: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TczNORJu7Vk

She would have just quit school to be home-schooled is the angle, I suppose?

Lalla Ward went onto being Mrs Richard Dawkins didn't she?I think she illustrated some of his work. found that out a few years ago

first time that the actor playing doctor who is younger than me :'(
it's also the only time apart from Matt Smith when they've announced the new doctor and it's someone I don't recognise and have never seen in anything else? (I've heard of that Sex Education show but I've never watched it).
― soref, Sunday, 8 May 2022 12:32 (two years ago) link
I know Russell T Davies is returning to the show, does that mean it's him who made the decision to cast Gatwa? Has RTD matched JNT's record by casting three doctors who?
― soref, Sunday, 8 May 2022 12:36 (two years ago) link
good choice if well directied, he's very funny in sex education
(tho it does step on future series of SE a bit)
― mark s, Sunday, 8 May 2022 13:03 (two years ago) link
It's always been the way with NuWho that the outgoing showrunner never has a say in casting the next Doctor after they've gone (why would they, it's not their job anymore), I'm sure this will entirely have been the call of Davies and his production team.
― "Spaghetti" Thompson (Pheeel), Sunday, 8 May 2022 13:20 (two years ago) link
Rumour has it the outgoing showrunner was told to make sure the sort didn’t hit his arse on the way out the door, and of course RTD was on Insta this morning with a cryptic post which simply read: ❤️❤️➕🟦

well good that we get the 2nd black doctor I guess. May be a little cliched/tokenist that they went to him after first female one, but good taht it's happening. & not sure what other circumstances would be better. Is the first black doctor and 2nd female one canon or was that established?Not see him act in anything other than Sex Education so not sure how much of that was him and how much was character . So when do we get to start answering things like that. Do hope he gets some good writing, feel like Jodie was a little shortchanged.
― Stevolende, Sunday, 8 May 2022 14:13 (two years ago) link
Never heard of him, seems like a mensch fromInterviews though
Seems well-cast on the all-important “handsome but funny-looking” axis following Tennant and Smith
― Chuck_Tatum, Sunday, 8 May 2022 14:27 (two years ago) link
what a fantastic choice. writing aside, his performance on Sex Education alone proves he can play a character who is funny and vulnerable and kind and intimidating all at once, so I think he's gonna be great.
quick question while I'm here: I stopped watching DW at the end of Chibnall's first season - is it worth catching up on or reckon it's safe to skip everything and just jump back in next year? any particular must-see episodes?
― Roz, Sunday, 8 May 2022 14:39 (two years ago) link
yeah I'd like to tknow that too. I didn't even make it through the first season.
― akm, Sunday, 8 May 2022 14:43 (two years ago) link
I bailed at the end of his first season. Friends told me Flux started really well but ended so poorly that the whole thing was ruined.
― chap, Sunday, 8 May 2022 14:45 (two years ago) link
It’s quite enjoyable B-minus/C-plus Doctor Who, and the only thing in Chibnall’s run that achieves the meagre distinction of being better than the worst of the Moffat & Davies shows, but you could easily skip it. It’s only five episodes mind.
― Chuck_Tatum, Sunday, 8 May 2022 15:04 (two years ago) link
The ending is balls but not prohibitively so
― Chuck_Tatum, Sunday, 8 May 2022 15:05 (two years ago) link
I'd probably recommend Fugitive of the Judoon, it introduces Jo Martin's Zeroth Doctor, who might (might?) re-occur in RTD's run - I can definitely see the rest getting tipped into a bin. And it's also really good - written by the writer of the previous series' Demons of the Punjab.
― Andrew Farrell, Sunday, 8 May 2022 15:14 (two years ago) link
TIL that Chuck has mind-wiped himself regarding the sixth episode of Flux (which would explain the B-minus/C-plus rating) :)
― Andrew Farrell, Sunday, 8 May 2022 15:16 (two years ago) link
This Ncuti Gatwa news really does definitively prove that there's an affirmative action bias in the BBC's casting.
I mean, a fourth Scottish Doctor?!

Concur with skipping Chibnall except MAYbe Fugitive Of The Judoon, although if you've been told to watch it specifically because of its big secret twist, you're probably covered.
It's always been the way with NuWho that the outgoing showrunner never has a say in casting the next Doctor after they've gone
Always = twice :) (and it's been the outgoing person's choice.)
But yeah, of course RTD has cast his own Doctor. Who else would have?
That is definitely two hearts and a blue box.
And I can think of better ways to say "don't let the door hit your arse" than "please come back for another year just to make a big anniversary special episode with lots of promotion," but I guess I don't have the executive mind.

strangely low key announce tho?
― lemmy incaution (emsworth), Monday, 9 May 2022 08:59 (two years ago) link
Low key preferable to special show with Zoe Ball. Perhaps they were heading off a leak?
OTOAH announcing at and overshadowing the BAFTAs is not super low-key! When news travels this quickly the inciting incident doesn't have to that big, I guess
― Chuck_Tatum, Monday, 9 May 2022 09:04 (two years ago) link
thanks everyone for the episode recs, or non-recs rather, lol. will check out Fugitive of the Judoon. might read some recaps of Flux.
― Roz, Monday, 9 May 2022 09:29 (two years ago) link
They did not announce at the BAFTAs, they announced (with ❤️❤️➕🟦) on Gatwa’s instagram, which has more followers than the Easter special had overnight viewers.(did RTD delete the obvious/cryptic post? just looked and I can’t see it)
