The Scottish actor, who was born in Rwanda, starred as Eric Effiong in Netflix’s hugely popular Sex Education about the socially awkward high school student Otis and his sex therapist mother Jean . He will become the first black actor to play the title role full-time. In 2020, Jo Martin made a guest appearance as a previously unknown version of the Doctor hiding on Earth disguised as a human tour guide.
It's very Doctor Who to imagine the Doctor would want to explore the universe from more that one perspective.
That'll please the inclusion arm of the beeb but may alienate fans, tick box selection can have a counter effect, Jody Whittaker's Dr. was very unpopular, time will tell if audiences are tired of virtue signalling.
Love him in Sex Education, he’s going to be so great!
If the way the BBC is approaching Doctor Who is the same, then changing the actor will have no affect. Stop beating people over the head with your misguided illogical political ideology.
