“Ncuti dazzled us, seized hold of the Doctor and owned those TARDIS keys in seconds.” Ncuti Gatwa will take the mantle from Jodie Whittaker on “Doctor Who”

,” the BBC announced Sunday, ending speculation over the iconic Time Lord’s next regeneration.

The Rwanda-born, Scotland-raised Gatwa, 29, will be the first Black actor to helm the quintessential British sci-fi show, but he won’t be the first Black Doctor — Jo Martin has played “Fugitive Doctor” in several episodes. The original run of “Doctor Who” spanned 1963 to 1989. Since the show was revived in 2005, the Doctor has been played by Christopher Eccleston, David Tennant and Matt Smith, in addition to Capaldi and Whittaker. Other stars, like Karen Gillan and Billie Piper, have made their names on the show as the Doctor’s “companion.”

In addition to seeing the start of Gatwa’s tenure, next year also marks Davies’ return to “Doctor Who” after more than a decade’s absence.

Doctor Who: Ncuti Gatwa to replace Jodie Whittaker, BBC announcesSex Education star will be first black actor to play role full-time when Russell T Davies returns to run show in 2023 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. Love him in Sex Education, he’s going to be so great! 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.
