Gavin & Stacey Star Advocates for Welsh Doctor Who Role
Speculations are rife that Ncuti Gatwa might be bidding farewell to the Tardis after his second season, prompting a Gavin & Stacey personality to step up for the coveted Doctor Who position. Recent reports hint at the possibility of the show coming to an end being dismissed by the BBC. Nevertheless, The Sun has disclosed that Ncuti has supposedly already filmed his regeneration exit sequence for the conclusion of the second series. The 32-year-old Scottish-Rwandan actor became a part of the programme in 2023 but is allegedly contemplating a move to Los Angeles for various acting ventures. A verdict on Ncuti’s continuation into a third series is anticipated to be deliberated by Disney+ post the airing of the second series. Consequently, a potential vacancy in the Tardis could arise, with Robert Wilfort from Gavin & Stacey, essaying the character of Jason, urging Doctor Who showrunner Russell T Davies for a Welsh addition to the roster. Davies, hailing from Swansea, previously helmed Doctor Who during its revival phase from 2005 to 2010, before returning to the show in 2023. In an Instagram post featuring a blue police box, Robert expressed, “As new Dr Who rumours circulate I’d like to throw my hat in the ring. If you’re listening Russell, it’s time for a Welsh doctor.” Numerous Instagram commenters swiftly rallied behind Robert’s proposal. One individual remarked, “Totally up for that,” while another stated, “I can only imagine this being a phenomenal casting.” Even James Corden endorsed the post. While the BBC has yet to confirm the release date for Ncuti’s second Doctor series, viewers can anticipate new episodes of the sci-fi series in May 2025. A representative for Doctor Who recently conveyed, “Doctor Who has not been shelved. As we have mentioned before, the decision regarding season three will follow the completion of season two.” “The arrangement with Disney Plus includes 26 episodes – with only half of these as yet to be aired. Regarding any further developments about the Doctor and future narratives, we abstain from commenting.” Notably, Rob recently reprised his role as Jason West in the Barry-based sitcom as it culminated at Christmas.
