Jodie Whittaker's successor has been announced.
The BBC has confirmed that Gatwa, who plays Eric Effiong in, will take charge of the TARDIS after Whittaker departs the sci-fi drama later this year.
"There aren't quite the words to describe how I'm feeling," Gatwa said of his casting."A mix of deeply honoured, beyond excited and of course a little bit scared.

You may be able to find the same content in another format, or you may be able to find more information, at their web site."This role and show means so much to so many around the world, including myself, and each one of my incredibly talented predecessors has handled that unique responsibility and privilege with the utmost care. I will endeavour my upmost to do the same.
"Russell T Davies is almost as iconic as the Doctor himself and being able to work with him is a dream come true. His writing is dynamic, exciting, incredibly intelligent and fizzing with danger. An actor's metaphorical playground. "The entire team have been so welcoming and truly give their hearts to the show. And so as much as it's daunting, I'm aware I'm joining a really supportive family. Unlike the Doctor, I may only have one heart but I am giving it all to this show."
