    Ncuti Gatwa. Cue the pathetic, racist comments about 'ticking boxes' and the like.
    My favourites Dr Who's are David Tennant, Jodie Whittaker & William Hartnell. Yet another example of my inability to mature and act my age. :D

    A young, talented actor.

    Jon Pertwee, Tom Baker, and David Tennant are my favourites. Patrick Troughton's were the ones I watched through my fingers from behind the sofa. :)

    I'm not sure anyone dare say this because Dr Who is an institution but it's just a bit rubbish really.

    Haven't a clue who that is tbh. Tom Baker is always Dr Who to me but since the whole point of it is that the Dr's a timelord it could literally be any man, woman or child of any race or colour!

    All part of the charm. Lots of things are simultaneously fun and rubbish. Eurovision Song Contest, for example.

    Yes, he’s brilliant, Sex Education was absolutely superb I thought.

    i thought Jodie played a great part but was seriously let down by the quality of the writing which I thought was poor. For performance alone though she would be up there for me.

    He's in Sex Education on Netflix, three-time BAFTA nominee for the last 3 years (and BAFTA Scotland 2020 winner) for best Male Comedy Performance.

    Only really watched in recent ish times when David Tennant got the role. He did a good job I think. Lost interest when he was replaced.

    I've never seen a single Doctor Who show, although I have read a few of the books when I was editing books for the National Accessible Library (or Seeing Ear as it was known then).
