Don't think I've seen him in anything but I'm always excited to experience a new incarnation of the Doctor.

Awesome for Whittaker that she gets to play the Doctor on the centenary of the BBC.

Great pick for a new doctor. I enjoyed his work in Sex Education and will enjoy his Doctor as well

 

[payn]

I think he will be a fun pick for it.

He also comes with a very loyal established fanbase.

older interview with him

Not seen him before. See how it goes!

 

[Tonguez]

Sex Education is good and he has won a Bafta for it. It bodes well for some fun on screen interactions (good scripts pending)

apparently he’s also gonna be in the Barbie movie

 

[Parmandur]

Neat!
