In new pictures and videos of Ncuti Gatwa on the set of Doctor Who, he can be seen wearing a kilt – and it's provoked quite the reaction among Doctor Who fans.

In a post on X, formerly known as Twitter, Doctor Who Filming Locations posted a photo of Gatwa's new look, with a black leather jacket, yellow top and tartan kilt.

This new look could be a nod to Gatwa's childhood, as he lived in Scotland for most of his childhood. In an interview with The Guardian, he revealed he was a toddler when he and his family moved from Rwanda, fleeing genocide at the time. He then grew up in Oxgangs and Fife in Scotland.

In another look at Gatwa's upcoming scenes, he can be seen punching his way out of a giant snowman that landed on him. It's safe to assume we are in for a treat this Christmas!
