During an appearance on the BBC's Morning Live, Davies teased: "It's really exciting, it's thrilling, it's explosive, it's brilliant. You've seen Ncuti in Sex Education – he is just the most phenomenal human being. Christmas Day is a new start again, come and join a brand new adventure."
Following the Christmas special, Gatwa will return as The Doctor in a full season, which is expected to be released in 2024.

Elsewhere on the sofa will be Imelda Staunton talking about playing Queen Elizabeth II in the final episodes of The Crown, The Tourist's Jamie Dornan, and Jack Lowden, who is starring in the latest season of spy drama Slow Horses.
Of course it wouldn't be a Graham Norton Show without an exceptional performance and so Gregory Porter will be performing Christmas Wish during the show.
