Edinburgh Doctor Who star Ncuti Gatwa reveals the real reason behind 'unplanned' exit
Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info Edinburgh actor, Ncuti Gatwa, has shared that he will be stepping down from his role as the Time Lord in the hit BBC show, Doctor Who. The Scottish-Rwandan actor is set to go down in history the beloved sci-fi shows' 62 year history for many reasons - one of them being as one of the few actors who served the shortest time in his role as the Doctor- retiring his sonic screwdriver after just two seasons, reports The Daily Record. Ncuti has said the reason he quit the popular show due to the physical and mental demands it requires, especially for the lead character. However, fans believe that his exit wasn't planned, despite what the Sex Education star has told the media. The 32-year-old has now been replaced by the Billie Piper, who previously starred in the BBC drama as Rose Tyler alongside former Doctor, Christopher Ecclestone, who only lasted one series. Piper also starred in the 2006 series with David Tennant. Ncuti recorded a video explanation for his fans after his exit was aired in the Doctor Who season 15 finale on Saturday May 31. In the video, he said: "It's a role that demands a lot of you physically and emotionally and mentally. The actors playing the Doctor are only actors playing the Doctor. Unfortunately, we are mere mortals. "I would love to have the energy and the youth to be able to do this full time for the rest of my life, but my knees are telling me it's time." However, die-hard fans believe there is another reason behind his exit, the Mirror reports. Join Edinburgh Live's Whatsapp Community here and get the latest news sent straight to your messages. Taking to X, one fan named Mr Tardis had clearly done their research as they wrote: "In October 2024, Ncuti Gatwa was on 'The Graham Norton Show' saying he was going to be filming another series of DW next year. "In June 2025, he officially leaves the show and regenerates. This was never the plan. What a shame. He deserved so much better." Another echoed: "In situations like that, they'll often shoot two different alternative scenes: one where the series continues, and one to finish things off. "Ncuti may well have actually thought he'd be staying on back in October 2024, even after filming a regeneration scene just in case." A third fan was left disappointed with the news of his exit as they wrote: "I am so f****g sad. its one thing to see your doctor regenerate because they chose to, another to see it happen because of behind the scenes s**t. "I loved literally every episode this era. I've been defending it the whole time. this.. this kinda broke me." Adding to his exit speech, Ncuti said: "You know when you get cast, at some point, you are going to have to hand back that sonic screwdriver and it is all going to come to an end, but nothing quite prepares you for it. "This journey has been one that I will never forget and a role that will be part of me forever. He added: "There are no words to describe what it feels like to be cast as the Doctor, nor are there words to explain what it feels like to be accepted into this iconic role that has existed for over 60 years and is truly loved by so many across the globe." The former Doctor Who star continued: "The fans are truly the final character and beating heart of this show and I can't thank the Whoniverse, and the Whovians, enough for welcoming me in, and making this such a touching experience. "I've loved every minute of it, but now is the time to hand over the keys to that beloved blue box and let someone else take control and enjoy it every bit as much as I have. I'll truly miss it, and forever be grateful to it, and everyone that has played a part in my journey as the Doctor." Meanwhile showrunner Russell T. Davies also expressed his sadness over Ncuti's decision to step down. He expressed: "What a Doctor! Thank you, Ncuti! As his final words say, this has been an absolute joy, and the team in Cardiff and everyone who has worked on this show for the past few years, are so lucky to have been part of Ncuti's great adventure as he shoots off to stratospheric new heights." He added: "Billie once changed the whole of television, back in 2005, and now she's done it again! It's an honour and a hoot to welcome her back to the Tardis, but quite how and why and who is a story yet to be told. "After 62 years, the Doctor's adventures are only just beginning!" A spokesperson for Doctor Who declined to comment.

Outlander boss reveals snubbing star in 'crazy' but key casting move
The actor narrowly missed out on a role in Outlander One of the stars from the Outlander prequel series, Blood of My Blood, tmissed out on an earlier part in the flagship show for a rather extraordinary reason. Jamie Roy, who auditioned for the minor role of Militia Man Number Two in the seventh season of Outlander, didn't secure the role, unaware that the creators had very different plans for his future within the franchise. Roy said that he was initially "gutted" at not landing the position as he saw it as a potential "big break", given how significant an appearance in Outlander is for one's acting career. However, fate had other ideas, and instead of being cast as a fleeting soldier character, Roy found himself in the role of a primary character in the prequel, Outlander: Blood of My Blood. He graced the screen as the young Brian Fraser, father to Sam Heughan's celebrated Highland hero Jamie Fraser in Outlander, setting him up for a swift ascent in showbiz fame, thanks to Outlander's remarkable success and Jamie Fraser's zealous fanbase, reports the Scottish Daily Express. Maril Davis, a producer who's been instrumental in the Outlander saga since its inception in 2014, reminisced about Roy's original Outlander audition in a recent chat, stating: "We were like, 'God, that guy looks a lot like Sam Heughan. That's so crazy. Oh, do we save him [for the prequel]?". However, she admitted to a moment of doubt, querying herself with "But why are we saving him for something that we don't even know is going to go?'" Speaking further to Vanity Fair, Davis expressed relief over the prequel's fruition stating: "I would've felt bad if the prequel hadn't come. But we did decide to save him." Scottish actor Roy, originally from Greenock, has previously featured in Burning Lies, Condor's Nest and Meeting Me, Meeting You. However, his role in Blood of My Blood is set to be his most significant yet. Outlander has already portrayed Brian's tragic demise with Shetland star Andrew Whipp embodying the older version of the character. Blood of My Blood will now present a younger Brian and delve into his turbulent yet passionate love affair with rival clan member Ellen MacKenzie, played by Harriet Slater. While Blood of My Blood isn't based on any literary works like Outlander, which draws inspiration from Diana Gabaldon's series of novels, snippets of Ellen and Brian's romance have been alluded to in the original series. Viewers will witness how Jamie's parents fell head over heels for each other and maintained their relationship despite familial opposition. The series will also illuminate the romantic history of Claire Fraser's (Caitríona Balfe) parents during WWI, showcasing the long-distance love story between Henry Beauchamp (Jeremy Irvine) and Julia Moriston (Hermione Corfield). Audiences are in for a treat with two distinct love stories set in different time periods, both promising to be equally enthralling and dramatic. Producer Davis confessed that it was a challenge to depict the two romances on screen and allocate equal screen time to each, but she expressed confidence that the production team had managed to do justice to both narratives.

'SXSW London will be a love letter to the city - we ought to be here'
SXSW, a conference encompassing music, art, business and innovation, kicked off in London today for the first time in its 38-year history. Attendees will witness a historic 'love letter to London', SXSW CEO Max Alexander tells Metro, one of the conference's media partners, with more than 25 Shoreditch venues hosting daily talks, panels, performances and more. What began as a music industry conference in Austin, Texas, evolved into a broader cultural festival which has served as a platform for some of today's most successful artists and businesses. 'It makes no sense when you hear about it. But when you arrive, it suddenly makes sense because what you're being invited to do is to get out of your comfort zone. To challenge yourself by experiencing speakers or music, or cultural events that are not in your domain,' Max explains. 'This is at the heart of what Austin and London do as cities, which is to invite people to seek ideas. I have a profound love affair with London. 'I think it's the greatest city on earth. SXSW's ambition is to become part of the cultural fabric of London.' 'We want SXSW to be a love letter to London, while being incredibly respectful of what London already is: a profound nexus of culture, business, creativity, ideas, technology, finance, and philosophy,' Max adds. Ticketing app DICE has put together a list of their 25 grassroots artists you need to see in London over the next six months. With tickets ranging from free to £27.50, these shows will ensure a great night to suit all tastes and budgets. Click HERE to catch the full list. Choosing Shoreditch as the core of London's first SXSW conference was intentional. The London neighbourhood is like if the world itself were 'fractalised', Max says. 'Within Shoreditch alone, you have a mixed and diverse little city within itself. When planning this event, we looked at cities across Europe, but in the end, the siren song of London was impossible to resist. We ought to be here.' This year's conference is addressing six themes: Humanity, Machines & The Future of AI; Our Future Health; New Tech Frontiers; Tech, Government and The Future of Society, Navigating Business in a Changing World; Innovation Meets Imagination: The Future of Creativity. Hundreds of businesses and music artists will be platformed at this year's event – all intentionally chosen, so SXSW can be a place where attendees can come and see them to 'dream' about what they might be, Max said. 'We want to help amplify for London and for Britain and indeed for, for Europe and showcase technologies, business models, art forms, music creatives, and give people a really explicit platform for presentation and discovery and investigation,' he said. 'There is simply put, nothing else like it in Europe. We want to encourage people to see and value each other's disciplines. More Trending 'This is a space we invite people to come to and to be inspired in and to dream in. That's valuable in and of itself, and I hope will be incredibly valuable in the medium and long term to the city and to the United Kingdom.' But the thing Max hopes attendees will take from this year's conference is to learn something new, and make a new friend in East London. He said: 'Learning something new is just such a fabulous thing, because when we stop learning, we die.' SXSW begins today and will run until Friday, June 7.
