They are joined by a number of new characters, including Genesis Lynea\u2019s Harriet and Lenny Rush\u2019s Morris Gibbons, with everything leading up to some big reveals, surrounding Ruby\u2019s parentage and actress Susan Twist<\/a>\u2018s recurring appearances.<\/p>\n But, ahead of the episode debuting, just who is Rush\u2019s character Morris and what has Rush said about joining the Whoniverse?<\/p>\n Read on for everything you need to know about Lenny Rush\u2019s character in the Doctor Who episode, The Legend of Ruby Sunday.<\/p>\n Little is yet known about Morris Gibbons, Lenny Rush\u2019s character, but we do know he is a child genius who is working with Kate Lethbridge Stewart and UNIT as a scientific adviser.<\/p>\n Rush was originally given the voice role of Eric<\/a> in season 14 episode 1, Space Babies<\/a>, but was offered the bigger role of Morris after impressing showrunner Russell T Davies in the read through.<\/p>\n Davies previously explained on an episode of Doctor Who: Unleashed<\/a>: \u201cLenny Rush was one of the voices of the space babies, and he\u2019d been so good as a space baby voice that at that read through we kind of sat there and went \u2018It\u2019s a shame. It\u2019s a shame he\u2019s just a voice and we\u2019re not going to actually see Lenny.\u2019<\/p>\n \u201cSo this chance came along to cast a new scientific adviser and I was like, \u2018Oh my God, let\u2019s get Lenny\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n Rush has said he was \u201cin disbelief\u201d when he was offered the part of Morris, and explained that the character is \u201cvery different to other characters I\u2019ve played\u201d.<\/p>\n He has admitted that he had never actually seen an episode of the show before, but has said that he has now watched a few episodes and is planning a \u201cmassive binge watch\u201d.<\/p>\n On working on the series, he said: \u201cI\u2019ve never worked on a show with so many cool effects! I think the stand out difference for me were the sets.<\/p>\n \u201cThey were amazing and are exactly how you see them on screen, it was unreal! I can\u2019t believe how much work goes into building them.\u201d<\/p>\n He added: \u201cI think a big part of Doctor Who being so iconic is how long the show has been running. It\u2019s been airing since the 1960s and is still going strong. Another part of its special feeling is because of the fan base.<\/p>\n \u201cPeople are so passionate about this show, and you can tell it means so much to them. I\u2019ve never been in a show with such an amazing fan base and I feel so lucky to be a part of it.\u201d<\/p> At the age of just 15, Lenny Rush has already won a BAFTA, for his work in Daisy May Cooper\u2019s comedy-drama series Am I Being Unreasonable?.<\/p>\n He has also starred in children\u2019s and family shows such as Apple Tree House, The Dumping Ground and Dodger<\/a>, as well as dramas such as 2019\u2019s A Christmas Carol and Best Interests<\/a>.<\/p>\n He has also appeared in films including Enola Holmes 2 and Haunting of the Queen Mary, and featured on this year\u2019s Taskmaster<\/a>\u2018s New Year Treat, which he won.<\/p>\n Doctor Who continues on Saturday 15th June on BBC iPlayer and BBC One.<\/strong>\u00a0Previous seasons are available to stream on\u00a0BBC iPlayer<\/a>\u00a0with episodes of the classic series also available on BritBox \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> to see what\u2019s on tonight. <\/strong>For more from the biggest stars in TV, listen to\u00a0<\/strong>The Radio Times Podcast<\/strong><\/a>.<\/strong><\/p> <\/body><\/html>\n UNIT is increasing its headcount, with child genius Morris joining its ranks. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":24,"featured_media":53282,"template":"","categories":[1,5],"acf":[],"uagb_featured_image_src":{"full":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2024\/06\/who-is-morris-gibbons-in-doctor-who-lenny-rush-character-explained-scaled.jpg",2560,1707,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2024\/06\/who-is-morris-gibbons-in-doctor-who-lenny-rush-character-explained-150x150.jpg",150,150,true],"medium":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2024\/06\/who-is-morris-gibbons-in-doctor-who-lenny-rush-character-explained-300x200.jpg",300,200,true],"medium_large":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2024\/06\/who-is-morris-gibbons-in-doctor-who-lenny-rush-character-explained-768x512.jpg",768,512,true],"large":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2024\/06\/who-is-morris-gibbons-in-doctor-who-lenny-rush-character-explained-1024x683.jpg",800,534,true],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2024\/06\/who-is-morris-gibbons-in-doctor-who-lenny-rush-character-explained-1536x1024.jpg",1536,1024,true],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2024\/06\/who-is-morris-gibbons-in-doctor-who-lenny-rush-character-explained-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":"UNIT is increasing its headcount, with child genius Morris joining its ranks.","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/rss_feed\/53281"}],"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\/53282"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=53281"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=53281"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Who is Lenny Rush\u2019s character, Morris Gibbons?<\/strong><\/h2>\n
