10 Things Every Doctor Who Fan Does When A New Doctor Is Announced
5. Watch Their Previous Work
A lot of Doctor Who fans love telly. It might be hard to tell because they won't stop talking about this one 60-year old TV show, but the TARDIS has always opened the doors to other films and TV shows. That's through wanting to know about the actors themselves. For example, David Tennant's casting introduced some Doctor Who fans to the excellent and incredibly underrated BBC Scotland drama Takin' Over The Asylum.
Just because Ncuti Gatwa's breakthrough role is miles away from the Doctor, it won't stop a lot of Doctor Who fans watching some episodes of Sex Education to get a sense of Gatwa as a performer. Given that the first line in the show is "Do you like my tits?" it may fluster some of the older Doctor Who fans. More hilarious is the concept of Sex Education viewers and Ncuti fans tuning into an episode of Doctor Who to get a sense of what the show is.
Love and Monsters anyone?
