On May 10, Ncuti Gatwa starts his first full season as the Doctor — the first Black and first openly queer man to take on the role. Entertainment Weekly talked to him about the responsibility he feels to get things right. “I was really cautious about getting it right throughout filming,” the Rwandan-Scottish actor explains. “It’s 60 years’ worth of legacy and 60 years’ worth of a show that people have loved and watched with their families. It lives in people’s hearts, so I really wanted to protect that.”

@CultureDesk 2nd black Doctor. First black male though.
@falken We were thinking only of One through Fifteen but of course the Fugitive counts!
@CultureDesk there are way more than 15 Doctors :-)
Also important, esp. in the US right now, where I think you are, to get as much representation as possible
@falken Totally agree — and we're very excited for this new series and the combination of RTD and Ncuti!
