Ncuti Gatwa treated fans to a behind-the-scenes look at the upcoming season of Doctor Who as he prepares to make his debut as the Time Lord.
The Sex Education actor, 30, will be the fifteenth doctor taking the lead in Russell T Davies’ sci-fi drama, while former Coronation Street actress Millie Gibson, 18, will play his companion, Ruby Sunday.
While details over the series’ air date have been kept under wraps, the Eric Effiong star confirmed that filming is officially underway.
‘Yesterday. Was. EXHILARATING!’ he shared via Instagram.
‘I genuinely feel I have an adrenaline hangover. But boy oh BOYY what we have in store for you.
‘P.s that video is just an excuse to show off the fit of my trousers, tell me you wouldn’t do the same!
In the first official pictures, published by the BBC on Saturday [December 17] , Ncuti is seen looking very dapper and stylish in a neon orange T-shirt and brown tweed suit.
Meanwhile, Millie rocked a shearling denim jacket, patterned tee and ocean blue trousers.
The duo have already begun production on the juggernaut series with a tweet from the Doctor Who account tweeting on Tuesday December 6: ‘Action! Filming has officially begun today for the next series of #DoctorWho.’
Former showrunner Russell T Davies has returned to helm Doctor Who, starting with three special episodes for the 60th anniversary starring David Tennant as the 14th Doctor and Catherine Tate as returning companion Donna Noble.

Actors including Neil Patrick Harris and Yasmin Finney will also join the cast, with it recently being reported that the BBC is hoping to enlist Phoebe Waller-Bridge as part of the writing team, after a huge deal between the BBC and Disney+.
Russell said of the new era: ‘If you thought the appearance of David Tennant was a shock, we’ve got plenty more surprises on the way!
Doctor Who returns to BBC One next November.
