Ncuti Gatwa will be the first Black actor to play the lead role in British sci-fi series “Doctor Who”, taking over from Jodie Whittaker as the 14th incarnation of the Time Lord next year, the BBC said on Sunday. The 29-year-old Scot, a star of Netflix hit “Sex Education”, posted two hearts plus a blue square, representing the Doctor’s Tardis, a time-travelling police telephone box, on his Instagram account before the news was confirmed by the broadcaster.
