but didn't Ncuti Gatwa just get there? Something must have happened internally for the most recent actor to leave the show after two years. I know they had the actress playing Ruby Sunday Millie Gibson leave after a year while implying that Gatwa would be in the show for a lot longer. 

 

Spoiler

Seemingly was always the plan with them only having a two seasons contracted with Disney in the first place. Want to say even the epilogue/goodbye from Ncuti they posted on youtube implies as such.

Finally finished this season.

Gatwa was great. The seasons were uneven.

Thought it was a very strange choice to start at season 1, have the Disney deal, and choose an actor to help appeal to a new audience, and then make a series almost entirely dependent on knowledge of the 50+ year history of the show. I mean, this season had Omega, the Rani, Rose, and Susan (for no apparent reason).

I grew up with Classic Who, so I dug all the callbacks.

Sad to see Ncuti go, he was great from the start.

Happy 10th Anniversary to Heaven Sent. One of the best ever episodes of Doctor Who, it's in my top three. The right actor to pull it off in Peter Capaldi.

Happy 15th Anniversary to The Eleventh Doctor earlier this year. That's also in my top three best ever episodes of Doctor Who with Heaven Sent and Blink.
