Inside Doctor Who Ncuti Gatwa’s new sonic screwdriver<\/h3>\n

Ncuti Gatwa, who has been cast as the fifteenth incarnation of the Doctor in BBC science fiction series Doctor Who, has recalled being called into showrunner Russell T Davies\u2019 office over behaviour that was deemed \u201cunacceptable\u201d. The Sex Education actor opened up about the challenges of moving across from an X-rated Netflix show to a more family-friendly one.<\/p>\n

The 31-year-old star made his first appearance as the new Doctor this weekend in the pre-Christmas episode The Giggle, which starred David Tennant, Catherine Tate and Neil Patrick Harris as the villainous Toymaker. Show boss Russell has explained how, as the show moves on to a new era, he hopes Ncuti\u2019s presence will help usher in a whole new wave of Doctor Who fans.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, the transition from Sex Education hasn\u2019t been completely smooth for Ncuti. During an interview for the <\/span>Radio Times<\/span> Christmas issue, he was asked about whether his actions off-camera – specifically when he posed for a nude photoshoot in British Vogue – sparked concern amongst the show\u2019s producers. <\/span><\/p>\n

The actor replied: \u201cI did think, \u2018Oh yeah, I\u2019ve got my kit off so I\u2019m probably going to get a couple of phone calls about this.\u2019 But, no, they\u2019ve been very encouraging.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

Surprisingly, it was something else that caused alarm bells to ring for head writer Russell. Ncuti went on to reveal that it was his bad language that actually landed him in hot water. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe only time I\u2019ve ever gotten in trouble for anything was when I swore [while wearing] a <\/span>Doctor Who costume,\u201d he remembered.<\/p>\n

\u201cI got called into Russell\u2019s office. Woo! And he let me know that that\u2019s not acceptable. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cHe said, \u2018Do what you want when you\u2019re out of costume, but when you\u2019re in costume, do not let us catch you swearing.\u2019 <\/span><\/p>\n
