Heartstopper fans delighted by Kit Connor cameo in An Adventure in Space and Time
What a surprise!
Heartstopper fans were delighted last night when they spotted none other than a young Kit Connor in An Adventure in Space and Time.
The docudrama, which tells the story of the beginning of Doctor Who, was released to mark the sci-fi's 50th anniversary in 2013, and aired again on BBC Four on Thursday 25th November to mark its 60th anniversary.
As viewers watched on, there were a couple of familiar faces, including Heartstopper's Kit Connor, who portrays Charlie in the docudrama.
Kit's character is seen watching the Daleks in An Adventure in Space and Time.
One fan on X (formerly known on Twitter) penned: "Watching An Adventure in Space and Time and look who it is! It's Nick Nelson himself Kit Connor! #DoctorWho."

Kit isn't the only familiar face who featured in the docudrama to viewers' surprise, as Ncuti Gatwa was added to the revamped version.
In the original emotional final scene, viewers saw William Hartnell look up to see Matt Smith, who was the current Doctor when the programmed first aired.
However, a small addition was made, as Hartnell now sees Gatwa as the Doctor in the Whoniverse version.
Gatwa will play the Fifteenth Doctor, with his era beginning on Christmas Day. He'll be joined by Millie Gibson, who portrays companion Ruby Sunday.
