Oh the anti-wokies will be pleased. There’ll be a spring in their plum corduroy step, their naturally pink cheeks will be turning positively salmon, and the old Grammar boys on the Whatsapp will be guffawing with all their might: ‘Gatwa’s gone, old sport… who’s next? A disabled trans cat? Fnar, fnar, fnar.’ Such people don’t go on public transport and think they aren’t bigots because Miles Davis is on their dinner party playlist.
Anyway, it was a surprise to see Gatwa spouting his regeneration juice at the end of tonight’s episode, The Reality War. Not as much of a surprise as Jodie Whittaker turning into David Tennant’s 14th Doctor, for those bridging specials into Ncuti Gatwa’s tenure, but a surprise nonetheless.
