Ncuti Gatwa steps into the swinging sixties as he looks stylish in pinstripe suit in Doctor Who scenes alongside co-star Millie Gibson

Ncuti Gatwa looked sensational as he stepped back into the swinging sixties while filming for the upcoming episodes of Doctor Who.

The actor, 31, who plays the Time Lord, cut a stylish figure in a blue and white pinstripe suit as he appeared to dance in the sneak peek scene at Abbey Road.

Ncuti was accompanied by his co-star Millie Gibson, who was dressed in a black and white 1960s mini dress with a white belt.

The 19-year-old actress, who plays his sidekick Ruby Sunday, completed the look with a pair of trendy white lace-up boots and put her blonde locks up in a perfect hair-sprayed bun.

The new series airs on BBC One next month and features the Doctor playing guitar in a studio that bears an uncanny resemblance to Abbey Road.

However, the BBC has left fans frustrated after announcing that the two first episodes, Space Babies and The Devil’s Chord, will both debut on the BBC and Disney+ from Friday, May 10 at midnight – instead of the usual peak time on Saturday.

Fans of the sci-fi series say the decision to launch the show in the graveyard is a slight to younger fans, who will be fast asleep at the time.

They also say it undermines the show’s reputation as “event television.” The unusual scheduling decision is the result of a new multi-million pound deal between the BBC – which has exclusive rights to the series in Britain – and Disney+, which has broadcast rights to the rest of the world.

For the first time, it has been agreed that the show will be broadcast simultaneously around the world.

This decision will benefit US viewers, who will be able to watch episodes as they air each week on Disney+ at the family-friendly time of 7pm in the eastern US.

British viewers who want to watch the show when it comes out will have to tune in to the episodes on the BBC’s iPlayer at midnight.

The BBC will then rebroadcast the new episodes in the show’s traditional Saturday evening slot.

It comes after the show confirmed Varada Sethu as Ncuti’s new companion for his second installment as the Time Lord.

It was previously reported that Varada would replace Millie as Ncuti’s companion, although details about her character are still under wraps.

Doctor Who showrunner Russell T Davies told it BBC: ‘Right now in the studio, shooting for 2025, Ncuti, Millie and Varada are fighting side by side – we need all three as the stakes are higher than ever!’

Millie starred as Ruby, the 15th Doctor’s companion, and first appeared on screen for the 2023 Christmas special, returning for an eight-episode series in May.

However, it has been suggested that Millie’s character Ruby will be replaced by Varada for Ncuti’s second series.

It is claimed that the former Coronation Street actress will wrap up the show in the coming weeks to ‘tie up loose ends’ and will not appear in the 2024 Christmas special.

Varda began filming at Cardiff studios in January, where she was seen on set with Ncuti.
