Weirdly, because there was so much focus on other ‘School of RTD’ actors - particularly those who were in ‘It’s A Sin’ - I just didn’t think of Ncuti Gatwa as a serious possibility. Despite the fact that I couldn’t take my eyes off him in ‘SE’. Not only because his face is just made for the screen, from every angle, but because he made me feel every single emotion the character experienced. He made everything epic and important and deeply truthful.
Really the BBC, or Bad Wolf, could not have picked anyone better. I can’t wait to retrieve that feeling I had at the start of the reboot - blessed to live in such an age. O frabjous day!
