9th May, 2022.
It’s officially official: it’s Monday.
You’d noticed, hadn’t you?
It’s also the after the UK’s TV BAFTA’s were handed out.
Where actor, Ncuti Gatwa, had been nominated for Best Male Comedy Performance.
The reason’s that significant?
Is that the ceremony was yesterday: the same day Ncuti’s casting as the Fourteenth Doctor was announced.
I have to admit, yesterday? Was the first time I’d heard of him.
To the point I had to Google how to pronounce his name.
It’s SHOE-ti GAT-wa, it seems.
Apparently, he’s done rather well for himself in the Netflix series, Sex Education.
There’s possibly a lot to say there: that I’ve possibly already covered.
I wish him luck, and am looking forward to his taking over.
We’ll possibly get to see him in (initial) action when he takes over: some time in October*, when Jodie Whittaker’s last episode airs …
