Though still a long way from appearing on our screens, Ncuti Gatwa who will play the next Doctor Who has had a busy week, receiving an honorary doctorate and also dropping a major idea bomb.

Actors frequently drop such bombs and they're rarely worth much attention but Gillian Anderson as a Doctor Who villain would be something.

I would love to play opposite Gillian [Anderson] again. I would love for Gillian to come in and be an amazing baddie.

Like, I'd love to battle with Gillian! That would be a dream

Ncuti's Sex Education co-star is of course also one of the biggest names in sci-fi from her stint as Dr Dana Scully in The X-Files.

Plus like Neil Patrick Harris who is a confirmed villain in the upcoming series, she was a star in a major US TV show (The X-Files) so could net them more US viewers who are a big market.

Seems like a great idea.

Doctor Who's 60th anniversary season starring Ncuti Gatwa will premiere in 2023.
