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.
Doctor Who in waiting Ncuti Gatwa has been awarded an honorary doctorate by the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland (RCS) for his contributions to both acting and charity.
He graduated from the RCS in 2013 with a Bachelor of Arts in acting.
Earlier in the week we saw stories circulating about Ryan Gosling wearing a Ncuti Gatwa Doctor Who t-shirt on a film set. While the shirt looked cool it didn't meet our threshold for news.
But has become so courtesy of that shirt, which isn't licensed merchandise and was initially removed from sale at the insistence of the BBC, returning for sale.
We nicknamed him Russell Tease Davies following his revelation that he planted false leads to keep secret the identity of our next Doctor Who, now known to be Ncuti Gatwa of Sex Education fame, and now he might be at it again.
Radio Times have published an article detailing a freshly unearthed piece of Doctor Who history which came to light at a panel promoting the 4K Ultra HD release of the 1960 films Dr. Who and the Daleks and Daleks - Invasion Earth: 2150 A.D.
Former Doctor Who star Christopher Eccleston has told Times Radio that straight, white, middle-class, male, actors like himself are “the new pariahs of the industry.”
This week meet the new Doctor Who, The Orville coming back with longer episodes, a look at the Resident Evil TV series and gameplay footage released for Stargate RPG Timekeepers.
