After Jodie Whittaker's Doctor regenerated once more there's a near-clean slate for Doctor Who season 14. Sex Education's Ncuti Gatwa will be playing the Fifteenth Doctor, a huge leap in representation as he'll be the first Black actor to take up the role. There is plenty to look forward to beyond pushing boundaries in equality and representation too, as returning showrunner Russell T. Davies is bringing plenty of familiar friends and foes alike for Doctor Who season 14.
