Have we really said goodbye to David Tennant already? Three specials in, and the regeneration has finally happened: the shabby suit has given way to some flashy new threads, and now, it’s Ncuti Gatwa’s turn to inhabit the Time Lord’s body for the annual Christmas special.
But Whovians, rest easy: The Church on Ruby Road is a belter. Compared to Tennant’s tired old Doctor at the end of The Giggle, Gatwa’s take on the character is brimming with joy, the person who can wear a tank top and a kilt to a club night and have the camera linger over every angle of his body. And why not: he looks bloody great.
