Ncuti Gatwa and Jonathan Groff shared a kiss on Friday's 'Bridgerton'-inspired episode of 'Doctor Who.'
. The on-screen smooch marked the series' first explicitly romantic same-sex kiss between the titular character and another person in its 60-year history.
While the Doctor has engaged in same-sex kisses with characters before, Friday's episode marked the first time the character was explicitly interested in their partner. The most notable example of the show's previous same-sex kisses is between Christopher Eccleston's Ninth Doctor and John Barrowman's Jack Harkness in the first season finale of the revived series.
Similarly, Matt Smith's Eleventh Doctor kisses Arthur Darvill's Rory Williams in season 7's"Dinosaurs on a Spaceship," but the gesture is unmistakably platonic in nature.-inspired episode, titled"Rogue," saw the Doctor and a bounty hunter named Rogue both sparring and swooning as they faced off against murderous, shape-shifting, bird-faced aliens. The wild adventure was set against a period backdrop that included expertly choreographed ballroom dances. .
He added,"There's a moment in the dance where the lights go out and it's a spotlight on the two of us dancing. There was no one else in the room but Ncuti. It took me to a completely different place with him. Like we were in the stars together dancing." -- after Whittaker's Doctor was reincarnated as the former 10th Doctor, now officially also Fourteen, at the conclusion of her run in October 2022.
