IT’S THE ANNIVERSARY WEEK OF DOCTOR Who and SFX is in a London hotel, opposite a legendary pub where fans used to meet, and in the shadow of the iconic BT Tower.
Ncuti Gatwa (in a Prada sweater, with shirt underneath, and yellow socks on display under cropped trousers) and Millie Gibson (a grey waistcoat, trousers and glasses that are “just for fashion, darling!”) are taking a day off filming season two to be introduced to select press with showrunner Russell T Davies. This interview has been edited for laughter.
What kind of Doctor are you going to be?
NG: Ohhhh. I don’t want to say. Just ’cos I feel like… [mock-shouting] I’m not telling you! Because I don’t want to paint anyone’s perception of what my Doctor will be.
But I also don’t quite know. I don’t know until it’s released. But I would say, what I hear, is that he’s very human. He’s quite emotional. He’s a bit of a joker. And that’s all you’re getting.
I still am not the Doctor, in my head. This is like a bit of a dream, it’s not actually really happening. Until the show actually airs, I’m gonna be like, “Oh, wow. Ohhhh. I’m the Doctor.” An amazing dream.
Do you feel the same, Millie?
MG: I do, I feel the exact same. People keep saying, “What does it feel like to be the companion?” It’s like, “I’m not yet!” I think it’s all gonna come at once, in a way. As soon as December hits, I think it’s gonna be like, “Oh god, yeah, we did film that.”
