NCUTI Gatwa is seen dancing in a kilt and coming face to face with goblins in the Doctor Who Christmas trailer.
Sex Education star Gatwa, 31, made his first appearance on Doctor Who during the last instalment of the 60th anniversary episodes.
The first full episode of the BBC One sci-fi show starring Gatwa in his role as the 15th Time Lord will air on Christmas day.
In a newly released teaser trailer for the festive episode (below), Gatwa’s Doctor is seen alongside new companion Ruby Sunday, played by former Coronation Street star Millie Gibson.
The trailer opens with a shot of the Doctor twirling in a kilt as he dances, in what looks to be a nightclub.

Soon after he is seen jumping over roofs and leaping onto a hanging ladder which Ruby is climbing.
He tells Ruby “I’m the Doctor” before she asks “what’s up there” and he responds “goblins.”
The pair find the goblins inside a giant flying ship and as the Doctor and Ruby enter the vessel the creatures yell and shriek at them.
The trailer ends as Ruby says “Who are you?” after entering the Tardis.
The Doctor Who logo then flashes on screen.
David Tennant, who originally played the 10th Doctor, returned for three special episodes as the 14th, starring alongside Catherine Tate as the Time Lord’s former companion Donna Noble.
Gatwa appeared in the last episode, The Giggle, after the Toymaker, played by American actor Neil Patrick Harris, split the Doctor in two.
The episode ended with the words “destination Christmas” showing on screen.
In Doctor Who’s Christmas episode former Big Brother presenter Davina McCall will star as herself alongside It’s A Sin actress Michelle Greenidge as Ruby’s mum Carla, soap star Angela Wynter as her grandmother Cherry and former EastEnders star Lady Anita May as Mrs Flood.
Episode The Church On Ruby Road will air at 5.55pm on BBC One and BBC iPlayer on Christmas Day.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
