- Doctor Who has returned for a new season and a new era of the franchise. Ushering in the next generation of fans for a series of wild adventures in the TARDIS are superstars Ncuti Gatwa and Millie Gibson. Gatwa commands the screen as the fifteenth Doctor, with a performance perfectly balanced between charming and haunted. Meanwhile, Gibson plays his delightful companion Ruby Sunday, whose mysterious past makes her an enigma, even to the Doctor. Together they have a bubbly chemistry that is endlessly watchable.
Ahead of the two-episode premiere, I sat down with Gatwa and Gibson to discuss all things “Space Babies” and “The Devil’s Chord,” as well as to dish about what else we can expect from their first season. During our conversation we spoke about Ruby’s TARDIS key moment, which clothes they wanted to take home, and which episodes they’re most excited for fans to see. Gatwa also had a very Libra crisis when asked which song Maestro would find hidden in his heart.
The show follows the adventures of a Time Lord “The Doctor” who is able to regenerate, and the Doctor’s human friends. The Doctor and companion’s journey through time and space in the TARDIS - a time-traveling ship shaped like a police box - saving the universe with a combination of wit, bravery, and kindness.
Originally premiered in 1963, Doctor Who is a sci-fi series that follows a powerful being known as a Time Lord, referred to as the Doctor. Using an interdimensional time-traveling ship known as the TARDIS, the Doctor travels time and space with various companions as they solve multiple problems and help avert catastrophe as much as they almost cause it. Though the Doctor is always the same character, they experience regenerations, allowing them to be recast every few seasons as a unique immortal being with new personality traits.
While there’s a lot to love about the new season of Doctor Who, one of the highlights of the latest episodes is the bright and shimmering chemistry between Gatwa’s Doctor and Gibson’s Ruby. When asked about how they were able to develop such a brilliant friendship so quickly, Gatwa confessed “it’s really luckily by the luck of the draw. Our chemistry really worked.” He went on to praise Gibson saying, “Millie walked into the room and it just felt kind of magical. It just all happened. The words flew off the page. I started doing things that I'd never done before. It was like a really nice connection.”
It wasn’t just luck though, Gatwa also praised writer and showrunner Russell T. Davies’ scripts. “The scripts themselves start from the ground running, and they go quickly, so you have to jump into the deep end anyway,” he explained. “I guess the energy of the scripts just carried us through and creates our chemistry even more. Do you know what I mean? Like stakes are high from the beginning, so the characters just have to trust each other instantly, and then we do as well because it’s just the pair of us.”

How did RTD get Who's introduction to match the sky. (friday night/saturday morning)
Looking forward to the season.
Love new Doctor stories.
15’s inner song would be miracle by labyrinth
I enjoyed they episodes
Yes, they are good ! Please don't break the fourth wall again - or use dance to pad out the show . Other than that, the show is back !
What’s wrong with that ?
@@JB-vq6xv It changes the relationship with the audience. I want to watch something I ca believe is happening, being winked at kills the illusion.
@@tortysoft Breaking the fourth wall isn't anything new though - Tom Baker used to do it loads of times! And Hartnell wishing a very merry Christmas to all of us at home is a classic of course!
@@pmce5980 I don't remember Tom doing it once on an actual show. Bill was special. This now is simply deeply worrying. I'll cope if I have to though.
@@tortysoft Tom did it a few times! Just off the top of my head, he speaks or does a big toothy grin to the audience in Face of Evil, Image of the Fendahl, Invasion of Time (twice!), Armageddon Factor and Shada (if you count that as canon). There might be another example I’m forgetting.
Total crap😢😢😢😢
