No matter how long Ncuti Gatwa plays The Doctor in the legendary sci-fi series Doctor Who, he still can't quite believe he gets to play the part. "I just feel very honored to be a part of the Who-niverse, because it made me feel very included." Going into his second season as The Doctor, "It always blows my mind whenever I speak to someone from over the pond that knows about Doctor Who, because [it] just feels like our tiny, little British TV show." Thanks to the international reach of Disney+, "the show is getting bigger, and more people have access to this wonderful little secret that us nerds had for a little while just all to ourselves." Gatwa acknowledges he "had great teachers" in past Doctors. "They each had something really different." And this season will bring even more nostalgia. "Classic Who fans will be happy about this season, there's lots of Easter eggs in it for them." But Gatwa, as the first Black Doctor, is especially proud that "little Black kids are gonna be looking at me like, 'I might be the Doctor,' or they might feel a little more relatability to the show."
