First images of Ncuti Gatwa as the 15th Doctor and Millie Gibson as Ruby Sunday, his companion, have been revealed.

Gatwa is seen in pictures and video wearing brown check trousers and a matching long coat with a bright orange top underneath, while Gibson is dressed in dark blue shorts and a short jacket.

Gibson was announced as the latest companion when she stepped out of the Tardis live on Children In Need.

“Whilst still being in total disbelief, I am beyond honoured to be cast as the Doctor’s companion,” she said.

“It is a gift of a role, and a dream come true, and I will do everything to try and fill the boots the fellow companions have travelled in before me.”

Doctor Who returns in November 2023, with three special episodes to coincide with its 60th anniversary with David Tennant as the 14th Doctor.

The Fifteenth Doctor, played by Gatwa, will then take control of the Tardis, with his first episode airing over the festive period in 2023.

Showrunner Russell T Davies promised that “the path to Ncuti’s Fifteenth Doctor is laden with mystery, horror, robots, puppets, danger and fun!”
