The star shared some inspiring words in a new interview. <\/p>
Ncuti Gatwa has described Doctor Who as a series about \u201ckindness and acceptance\u201d ahead of his hotly anticipated debut in the 60th anniversary specials<\/a> due later this year.<\/p>\n The actor will play the Fifteenth Doctor, taking the baton from returning star David Tennant, with recent teaser images<\/a> showcasing some stunning fashion choices for his incarnation of the character.<\/p>\n Plot details are scarce for Doctor Who season 14<\/a>, which is crafted by screenwriter and showrunner Russell T Davies, but Gatwa teased to Rolling Stone<\/a> that it will see the well-travelled Time Lord \u201cfighting with love\u201d.<\/p>\n He explained: \u201cThe quality I admire most about the Doctor is that they fight for every life in the universe. Good or bad, foe or friend, they see the importance of everyone\u2019s life \u2013 and that everyone and everything has a place in the universe.<\/p> \u201cAnd they believe very much in not killing\u2026 [but] fighting with love. The show ultimately is about kindness and acceptance and that\u2019s what I love most about The Doctor \u2013 and Doctor Who.\u201d<\/p>\n These comments give an idea of the kind of Doctor that Gatwa will be playing, who seems likely to have more warm and welcoming persona than the comparably guarded takes of William Hartnell and Christopher Eccleston.<\/p>\n Read more:<\/strong><\/p>\n It\u2019s been an exciting week for Doctor Who fans, with the BBC also dropping a first look at the show\u2019s redesigned sonic screwdriver<\/a>, which will be making its first appearance soon.<\/p>\n If you\u2019re keen to see more from Gatwa before his TARDIS tenure begins, he takes a supporting role in this weekend\u2019s Barbie<\/a> movie and will be playing Eric Effiong one last time in September\u2019s Sex Education season 4<\/a>.<\/p>\n Doctor Who is available to stream on BBC iPlayer. <\/strong>Episodes of the classic series are streaming on\u00a0BritBox<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 you can sign up for a\u00a07-day free trial here<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n Check out more of our\u00a0Sci-Fi<\/a>\u00a0coverage or visit our\u00a0TV Guide<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Streaming Guide<\/a>\u00a0to find out what\u2019s on.<\/strong><\/p>\n Try Radio Times magazine today and get 12 issues for only \u00a31 with delivery to your home \u2013\u00a0<\/strong>subscribe now<\/strong><\/a>.
