Doctor Who's 'Bi-Generation' Twist Overshadows Historic Casting of Ncuti Gatwa

Despite controversy, Gatwa's performance as the Fifteenth Doctor earns praise ahead of Christmas special.

Doctor Who's 60th anniversary special introduces a new twist to the series, with the Doctor simultaneously regenerating into two separate selves, a phenomenon known as 'bi-generation'.
Ncuti Gatwa makes history as the first Black, queer man to play the Doctor, but his debut is overshadowed by the continued presence of the previous Doctor, played by David Tennant.
The Toymaker, a classic Doctor Who villain, returns in the special episode 'The Giggle', portrayed by Neil Patrick Harris.
Despite the controversy surrounding the 'bi-generation' twist, Gatwa's performance as the Fifteenth Doctor is praised.
The next Doctor Who Christmas special, featuring Gatwa's first proper adventure as the Doctor, is set to premiere on Christmas Day.
