Thirty-year-old Gatwa was wearing a long tan leather jacket with oversized lapels; an orange and purple striped shirt; blue jeans; and white and red trainers.

He is playing the 15th Doctor, with David Tennant returning to play the 14th Doctor, with Tennant reuniting with Catherine Tate to film scenes in the Old City in June 2022.
