The first black Doctor Who

The now cult series Doctor Who is one of the most "enduring" in all of television history. The first "round" ran from 1963 to 1989, featuring seven different actors in the title role, followed by a hiatus. In 1996, a feature film was released, where the Doctor was portrayed by Paul McGann, and many hoped that it would be just the introduction to a new series. But it wasn't like that. The BBC didn't and didn't get along. Until 2005, when Christopher Eccleston became the Ninth Doctor, and a year later he was replaced by the charismatic David Tennant.

And since then it has lived in a row, and in recent years it has undergone quite a few revolutionary changes. Since 2018, Doctor Who is no longer a doctor but a doctor, played by Jodie Whittaker, whose time is also coming to an end and the BBC announced her successor a few days ago. The main character will now be a man again, this time black-skinned Scottish actor Ncuti Gatwa, who many of you know from the Netflix comedy series Sex education, and soon we will also see him as Margot Robbie's co-star in the movie Barbie.

The future is here! Ncuti Gatwa is the Doctor. ❤️❤️➕🟦 #DoctorWho
