Ncuti Gatwa, the most recent actor to play the Doctor, stepped down after two series, citing the physical and emotional demands of the role. Showrunner Russell T Davies has announced the end of his second tenure, adding that Billie Piper has not been confirmed as the next Doctor.In fullPeter Capaldi says big change to Doctor Who has ‘diminished’ BBC showThank you for registeringPlease refresh the page or navigate to another page on the site to be automatically logged inPlease refresh your browser to be logged in
