Jo Martin played the first black incarnation of the Time Lord in a January 2020 episode, Future of the Judoon, as Ruth Clayton, but Gatwa has become the first black Doctor to be cast as the series lead. Gatwa is the first black actor to take on the leading role as The Doctor, after Jodie made history as the first permanent female Time Lord in 2017. It was revealed that the 29-year-old will become the 14th Doctor on the popular sci-fi show, after Whittaker announced last July she will be leaving the role this autumn.

Gatwa has attended this year's BAFTA TV Awards ceremony alongside returning Doctor Who writer Russell T Davies after it was confirmed that he will take over from Jodie Whittaker as the Time Lord in the hit BBC series. Gatwa went on to become a rising star after he was cast as gay black teenager Eric Effiong in the hit Netflix comedy Sex Education (Pictured: Ncuti Gatwa as Eric alongside co-star Asa Butterfield as Otis in Sex Education) He said the abuse made him so isolated he believed he was the ‘only black person in Scotland’. As cheesy as it sounds, I’ve been watching strength from young.
‘She couldn’t speak the language, didn’t know the culture, no money, no nothing – and she raised all three of us. I grew up watching her move to this country with three kids on her back. They ended up apologising profusely for what they had done and Ncuti puts his own resilience down to his mother. But at the same time, I was the first black person that they probably saw in real life.’ ‘Obviously their behaviour was inexcusable. ‘It was really a good lesson to me about the difference between hate and ignorance,’ he explained. Incredibly he became friends with the boys who set up the page. I’m just going to carry on being myself and they’re going to fall in love with me sooner or later.
I was actually quite confused! I was like, what? These people don’t like me? I was like, that’s never happened before. He revealed: ‘I was like, you can’t know me and not like me. Gatwa posted a picture after an emotional visit back to Rwanda As parents we are, of course, proud of Ncuti, of our children.’ 'So we do not do any comments regarding this but we are, of course, very proud of him. That is all we can say.īeaming Tharcisse, a journalist who lives at the family home with Gatwa's mother Josephine, added: ‘There is nothing else we can add.
Speaking from the family's £300,000 home in Dunfermline, Scotland, Tharcisse Gatwa told Mailonline: ‘We are very proud. When his mother arrived in Scotland with her three children on Guy Fawkes night in 1994 and, having just escaped one war zone, she said she scared of the bangs, believing they were guns going off. Gatwa's incredible success is the latest chapter in a remarkable journey for a man who was a toddler when his parents fled to the UK from Rwanda to escape the genocide that killed more than one million people in an horrific civil war. This is a photograph for doting fathers - I will keep one for sure.New Doctor Who Ncuti Gatwa's father has told of his joy after his son became the first black actor to star in the lead role as the timelord. This is a simple picture - there was no high level of skill in its capture but that is fine with me, we don’t need to break the atom every time we go on assignment, sometimes nature does the hard work for us. On this day, I was clearly most fortunate. Normally pictures of more than one gorilla in the same setting tend to be a little messy and it is odds against each gorilla being the same focal distance from the camera, hence some members of the troop are sharper than others. But more importantly, he told me that it is rare to see the lead silverback and one of the young members of the troop chilling together alone in such an open setting.Ĭertainly, I have been up the mountain 15 times and this is the first time I have had this special encounter. The reason it appeals to him is that the image is in part a nod to the high number of babies born every year - 28 in the last year alone, which is proof of the outstanding conservation story in the Rwandan National Park. David Yarrow: "The Chief Park Warden of Volcanoes National Park - Prosper Unwingeli - likes this photograph a great deal, which I guess is instructive in that he has seen it all, both in the park itself and also through the lenses of those that make the trek up the mountain.
