Matt Smith, who played the Eleventh Doctor, has shared his reaction to the news that Ncuti Gatwa has been cast as the Fourteenth Doctor.
​
​"I think he's going to be truly brilliant," Smith says. "I think it's an inspired piece of casting, and along with Russell, who's such a great leader of that show.

"I don't know if you've seen him in Sex Education, there's a warmth and wit and a real depth to his talent that I think... honestly, I think it's an inspired bit of casting and I'm really, really excited for the show!" 

Ncuti Gatwa will replace Thirteenth Doctor Jodie Whittaker, while Russell T Davies replaces Chris Chibnall, who both bow out with the Doctor Who Centenary Special in Autumn 2022.
