This comes after similar fan photos were captured of Millie Gibson's companion, Ruby Sunday, shooting her first TARDIS experience in Bristol for the upcoming Christmas special.
Twitter users were ecstatic to see Gatwa filming for his first season, set to be released in 2024.
One user stated: "Gatwa previously hasn't done much doctor who filming so far because of finishing off Sex Education. Hopefully from now on we will see a lot more of him." Here's to crossing our fingers for more behind-the-scenes shots.

Gatwa was first glimpsed in a trailer at the end of Jodie Whittaker's final episode, The Power of the Doctor.
The Sex Education actor previously told RadioTimes.com he had a say in what his Doctor would wear, teasing that it would be an "exciting" change of style for the Time Lord. And oh, it is.

- Doctor Who's new TARDIS interior is an "impossible, logic-defying set"
Speaking about the importance of his role in the popular sci-fi series, Gatwa said: "For people of colour, for marginalised people who really gravitate towards the show because it’s about friendship and it’s about adventure and it’s about union and unity.
"And also Doctor Who is able to turn into anything or anyone, so the possibilities are endless. So the fact that that mission is going out to lots of people, that the possibilities are endless, is extremely cool."
