BBC's Doctor Who returns this weekend as Ncuti Gatwa takes on his first series in the iconic role.
Gatwa will star alongside Millie Gibson, in the role of companion Ruby Sunday, in series 14 who both made their debuts in the role over the Christmas and New Year's special.
The series has been written by Russell T Davies who previously worked on the show's earlier series and created the spin-offs Torchwood and The Sarah Jane Adventures.
The latest series of Doctor Who will see Timelord travel back to the 1960s where he'll meet The Beatles, head to the Regency period and face a musical villain.

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!
