Ncuti Gatwa and Millie Gibson in Doctor Who

You knew that Ncuti Gatwa's Doctor wouldn't be able to resist taking new companion Ruby (Millie Gibson) into the past, and from the looks of new images posted by the Beeb, the pair will be showing up in the 1960s and dressed appropriately.

Much of what will happen during Gatwa's first tenure in the TARDIS is under wraps for now, though we've had a hint here and there. With Russell T. Davies returning to run the show, we'll first be seeing three special episodes featuring the return of David Tennant (playing the fourteenth Doctor, and we're waiting to see how he'll be different from his Tenth incarnation) and Catherine Tate as Donna for the show's 60th anniversary.

One thing we do at least know of Gatwa's first episodes as the 15th Doctor (due around Christmas this year) is he'll be facing off against a villain played by RuPaul's Drag Race champ Jinkx Monsoon.

Her character is described as the most powerful enemy yet, so it remains to be seen how she's more dangerous than, say, the Daleks…

And viewers outside the UK will be able to watch the episodes on Disney+ thanks to the new deal that the BBC struck with the Mouse House's streaming service.
