No offence to Matt Smith and Tom Baker, but take one look at the new Doctor Who Ncuti Gatwa, who debuted in his first full episode on Saturday, and you notice one thing: his very impressive muscles. Gatwa’s pecs put the Tardis’s previous owners to shame.
That’s no accident, says David Higgins, the personal trainer who guided Gatwa to his current state of brawniness. “His goal was to be the first buff Doctor, to give the audience something a bit different from a physicality perspective, and I think he’s definitely achieved it,” Higgins says proudly.
