Doctor Who has always been a show that explores social and political issues, and the latest episodes have made queer themes a more distinct part of the show's DNA.
Ncuti Gatwa is the first openly queer actor to play the Doctor, making the show even more welcoming for LGBTQ+ audiences. Gatwa celebrates the progress and inclusivity of the series.
The Doctor's ability to regenerate and take on different appearances opens up the possibility for the character to look like anybody. Gatwa acknowledges and appreciates the stars who played the Doctor before him.
