Ncuti Gatwa's favorite new Doctor Who episode is Steven Moffat's return, despite admitting he "hardly understood what was going on" at first

Doctor who boom.

Ever since the news broke that former showrunner Steven Moffat will be returning to Doctor Who to write an episode, fans have been intrigued. After making an impression writing episodes which brought us the likes of the terrifying Weeping Angels, Moffat went on to succeed Russell T Davies as showrunner, leading the Matt Smith and Peter Capaldi eras. However, he hasn't worked on the beloved sci-fi series since 2017, only now making his return.

For Ncuti Gatwa's first full season as the Fifteenth Doctor, Moffat has penned episode 3 titled 'Boom', which airs next weekend. It will see the Doctor and companion Ruby Sunday (Millie Gibson) travel to a war-torn planet - but there's a twist! After stepping on a landmine, the Doctor will have to stop the conflict without moving - which we expect to be quite a challenge!
