On his new role as the Doctor, Gatwa said in a statement to the BBC: "There aren’t quite the words to describe how I’m feeling.

This role and show means so much to so many around the world, including myself, and each one of my incredibly talented predecessors has handled that unique responsibility and privilege with the utmost care. I will endeavor my upmost to do the same."

Shortly after the announcement, Doctor Whoshowrunner Russell T Davies shared an image of himself with Gatwa on the 2022 Bafta TV Awards red carpet, where Gatwa was a presenter and nominated for his role on Sex Education.
