FIRST LOOK: In December, Ncuti donned his Time Lord costume for the first time in a series of stills from the filming of Doctor Who.
Each incarnation of The Doctor was famous for his signature look, whether it was David Tennant’s maroon pinstripe suit, Matt Smith’s bow tie, or Tom Baker’s colorful scarf.
Doctor Who returns in November 2023 with three special episodes to coincide with the show’s 60th anniversary, with David Tennant as the Fourteenth Doctor.
The Fifteenth Doctor, played by Ncuti, will take control of the TARDIS and his first episode will air over the festive period next year.
In October, Jodie Whittaker stepped down from her role as The Doctor, replaced by returning star David for upcoming anniversary episodes.
The power of the Doctor was packed with excitement as famous faces returned, Jodie retired after five years as the Time Lord, David made his return, and fans got their first look at Ncuti as the new Doctor.
Different! The Sex Education star will rock a brown checked suit with an orange sweater, while Milly, who will play her partner Ruby Sunday, has donned a jean jacket and chunky boots.
