Gatwa and Gibson share the screen with the likes of Golda Rosheuvel<\/a> in Space Babies, the very first episode of the new season.<\/p>\n The episode sees the Doctor and Ruby adventure to the distant future to discover a Baby Farm run by the babies themselves \u2013 but a chilling monster<\/a> is prowling the lower decks.<\/p>\n So, as Gatwa\u2019s first season officially begins, here\u2019s everything you need to know about the cast of Doctor Who season 14 episode 1, Space Babies.<\/p>\n The full list of actors appearing in Doctor Who \u2013 Space Babies are:<\/p>\n Read more below on the major players in the episode.<\/p>\n Who is the Fifteenth Doctor?<\/strong> Of course, no Doctor Who adventure would be complete without the Doctor. The time-travelling alien was traditionally known as a\u00a0 Time Lord from Gallifrey \u2013 although he recently learned he was abandoned and taken in by the Time Lords. This is only his second on-screen adventure after his regeneration, following the Christmas special, The Church on Ruby Road.<\/p>\n Where have I seen Ncuti Gatwa before?<\/strong> Before being cast as the Doctor in 2022, Gatwa was best known as fan favourite Eric Effiong in Sex Education. Gatwa has also appeared as one of the Kens in blockbuster Barbie and as Lt Robert H Daniels in Masters of the Air.<\/p>\n Who is Ruby Sunday?\u00a0<\/strong>Ruby is the Doctor\u2019s newest companion<\/a>, with the pair meeting at Christmas in The Church on Ruby Road. As this is only her second on-screen adventure with the Doctor, she\u2019s learning the ropes of time and space travel. Showrunner Russell T Davies has confirmed that Ruby\u2019s backstory<\/a> will have a big role to play this season, with the mystery of Ruby\u2019s mother\u2019s<\/a> identity continuing.<\/p>\n Where have I seen Millie Gibson before?<\/strong> Before being cast as Ruby, Gibson was best known for her role as Kelly Neelan in Coronation Street<\/a>.<\/p>\n Who is Jocelyn?\u00a0<\/strong>Jocelyn is a member of crew on board the ship. Roshuevel recently chatted exclusively to RadioTimes.com<\/a>, saying of her character: \u201cShe is isolated, she\u2019s been abandoned, and she basically looks after these babies that run this planet. There\u2019s a lot of loneliness there for her, there are difficulties which she\u2019s got to contend with on a personal level.<\/p>\n \u201cWhen you\u2019re confined to a space like yours, you know, that can be quite challenging. She\u2019s really loyal to these babies, she wants to protect them, [but] maybe she doesn\u2019t make the best choices because of the isolation.\u201d<\/p>\n Chatting about how she and the Doctor have that isolation in common, she goes on to say: \u201cThey recognise that in each other. He recognises that \u2013 I think that\u2019s important to say, that he sees this woman and understands where she\u2019s coming from, so can kind of get that kind of nurturing and positive energy into her.\u201d<\/p>\n Who is Carla Sunday?<\/strong> Carla is Ruby\u2019s adoptive mother, with the pair having an incredibly close bond. Chatting to RadioTimes.com<\/strong> exclusively, Greenidge said that, this season we\u2019ll \u201cdefinitely see more of the family dynamic and relationship between Ruby and Carla and Cherry. There\u2019s more fun to be had!\u201d<\/p>\n Where have I seen Michelle Greenidge before?\u00a0<\/strong>Greenidge is known for a range of roles across TV, including in Michaela Coel\u2019s I May Destroy You, as Rosa Babatunde in Russell T Davies\u2019 It\u2019s A Sin, as Valerie in After Life, and as Lola in Mandy<\/a>.<\/p>\n Who is Cherry Sunday?<\/strong> Cherry is Carla\u2019s mum, and Ruby\u2019s adoptive grandmother. She appears to have a tough exterior but clearly cares deeply about her family.<\/p>\n Where have I seen Angela Wynter before?<\/strong> Wynter has had an illustrious career on TV and stage, and is perhaps best known as Yolande Trueman in EastEnders<\/a>. She\u2019s also appeared in Doctors, Vampire Academy, Call The Midwife<\/a> and Vera<\/a>.<\/p> Doctor Who\u2019s new episode Space Babies will be available to watch on BBC iPlayer from midnight on Saturday 11th May before airing on BBC One that night at 6:20pm.<\/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.\u00a0<\/strong>For more from the biggest stars in TV, listen to\u00a0The Radio Times Podcast<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div> <\/body><\/html>\n Everything you need to know about that glorious ensemble cast! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":24,"featured_media":51215,"template":"","categories":[1,5],"acf":[],"uagb_featured_image_src":{"full":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2024\/05\/meet-the-cast-of-doctor-who-space-babies-scaled.jpg",2560,1707,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2024\/05\/meet-the-cast-of-doctor-who-space-babies-150x150.jpg",150,150,true],"medium":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2024\/05\/meet-the-cast-of-doctor-who-space-babies-300x200.jpg",300,200,true],"medium_large":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2024\/05\/meet-the-cast-of-doctor-who-space-babies-768x512.jpg",768,512,true],"large":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2024\/05\/meet-the-cast-of-doctor-who-space-babies-1024x683.jpg",800,534,true],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2024\/05\/meet-the-cast-of-doctor-who-space-babies-1536x1024.jpg",1536,1024,true],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2024\/05\/meet-the-cast-of-doctor-who-space-babies-2048x1365.jpg",2048,1365,true]},"uagb_author_info":{"display_name":"importmanagerhub@sprylab.com","author_link":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/author\/importmanagerhubsprylab-com\/"},"uagb_comment_info":0,"uagb_excerpt":"Everything you need to know about that glorious ensemble cast!","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/rss_feed\/51214"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/rss_feed"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/rss_feed"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/24"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/51215"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=51214"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=51214"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Doctor Who \u2013 Space Babies cast<\/strong><\/h2>\n
