BBC's Doctor Who returns this weekend as Ncuti Gatwa takes on his first series in the iconic role.
Gatwa will star alongside Millie Gibson, in the role of companion Ruby Sunday, in series 14 who both made their debuts in the role over the Christmas and New Year's special.
The series has been written by Russell T Davies who previously worked on the show's earlier series and created the spin-offs Torchwood and The Sarah Jane Adventures.
The latest series of Doctor Who will see Timelord travel back to the 1960s where he'll meet The Beatles, head to the Regency period and face a musical villain.
