Ncuti Gatwa has been hailed an "inspiration" as he officially left his Sex Education role ahead of his Doctor Who debut later this year.
The Rwandan-Scottish actor is taking the keys to the Tardis after playing icon Eric Effiong in the Netflix drama since it launched in 2019 - appearing in every series since.
It led to Ncuti being awarded Best Actor Award at the Scottish BAFTA’s in 2020 as well as numerous nominations including Best Male Performance in a comedy programme at this year’s BAFTAs.
