Matt Smith had a sex scene in a show with Billie Piper - and the Isherwood film whilst playing the Doctor!
David Tennant had sex scenes in Casanova.

Ncuti Gatwa will play Doctor Who. He is best known for appearing in Sex Education a series about high school students having sex.

Right, so nobodyโs picking up on the fact that Mrs Flood didnโt know it was a TARDIS in the original pre-goblin timeline?
Like she thinks itโs a prank of the neighbour, and then once the Doctor has set things backโฆ sheโs very different, out there sitting watching, and knows.
Right, for the international folks... here we go, your late Christmas treat: A THREAD OF TIDBITS FROM THE CHURCH ON RUBY ROAD'S COMMENTARY TRACK!
And we're opening with this: Millie's audition didn't involve Church scenes. It involved stuff from Episode 14.1.
Only Steven Moffat could do a war and capitalism criticism that also takes shots at religion & blind faith... whilst using an AI 'ghost' and the line "Thoughts and prayers" in such a way.

DOCTOR WHO TRAILER THREAD 2: ELECTRIC BOOGALOO!
And we open with Fifteen breaking our fourth wall again... Just for the trailer? Probably, but at this rate - who knows?!
I think the interesting thing to me about this set isโฆ how much will it actually get used with all its ramps and doorways and lights?
Russell was always a much bigger proponent of โget them out of the TARDIS as quickly as possibleโ than Chris and Steven were, so it is-
Triad didn't exist before Mavity.
It didn't exist before the TARDIS groaned and played a warsong on the edge of reality.
The Toymaker and the Giggle didn't get here before Triad.
Run by S. TRIAD.
Mrs Flood is telling us folks - outside her reality - Never seen a TARDIS before?
Oh, if I were the showrunner - me with my wordy ways - this definitely wouldn't be a coincidence.
The Giggle that's a musical arpeggio palindrome within all technology. Even UNIT tech. Tech that runs on software from Triad Technology.
Russell, are you...
Our wonderful Fourth Doctor - Tom Baker - out on Wednesday morning at Sidโs Emporium in Tenterden.
Nice to see him out and aboutโฆ and meeting a vintage Dalek!
And BANG! Itโs been hard keeping this one inโฆ but a special opening half to the Doctor Who theme courtesy of Maestro, and a clever transition out of itโฆ

Courtesy of Sumire - the Disney+ version of The Church of Ruby Road DOESNโT go to credits. It goes to a general tease, then the Mrs Flood scene, and then to credits in one go.
Either the show Doctor Who is caught in the same web of coincidence that I am trapped in... or something really weird is up!
Why? Because stuff like this keeps happening. In episodes.
Right, the YouTube Behind the Scenes just went and made the Dot and Bubble thing more complicated.
The episode's intended to make her come across as improving as a person... before dropping that shock reveal. And Russell's moral is leave the bigots in their bubbles.
Bigeneration came at a terrible cost - the Doctor's soul has been halved. They can't bigenerate ever again. They wouldn't survive it.

It must be said: everyone should big cheers to young Kit Rakusen for a superb job as the ominous Henry Arbinger!
And heโs kept that secret for SO LONG, bless him!

This is wonderfully played. Wonderfully tragic. The Doctor can't save everyone, because not everyone will let a black man save them.
(I'll give it that, even though it's sliding in very late.)

I think itโs more that the Doctor catches on that itโs not his place to do that. Especially not as that might impact a life that Ruby has and is happily comfortable with. Sure, she wants answersโฆ but she also has the Sundays!
OH THE COMMENTARY IN THIS. A WORLD WHERE ARTISTS NEVER MAKE THEIR ART BECAUSE THE WORLD HAS TOLD THEM IT SHOULD BE DULL AND THAT IT'S NOT A PROPER JOB.
IS THIS 1963 OR 2024?!

You know, given we have a Ruby Sunday and a Fifteenth Doctorโฆ
Itโd be really nice if someone other than me would notice that the Doctor Who 60th concert airdate has deliberately been chosen to beโฆ
SUNDAY the FIFTEENTH of October.
It was all hiding in plain sight!
Thoughts and prayers to all of you that made fleshlight jokes about this in the lead up. I hope you are now very ashamed of yourselves.

Russell T Davies confirmed to Radio 1 this morning (this very minute!) that the script for The Giggle - and thus, the bigeneration - was written *before* Ncuti was cast.
Have at that thought, Twitter!
Right, international folks... here we go, diving into Series 14 for the first time proper: A THREAD OF TIDBITS FROM BOOM'S COMMENTARY TRACK!
Hello, from Russell, Steven & Joel!
Fun fact for Doctor Who fans who didnโt watch Sex Education:
Max Boast, who played Dr. Pee, appeared there alongside the 15th Doctor, Ncuti Gatwa, as a recurring character with the same name as the 4th Doctor, Tom Baker.
Imagine the INSANITY if during The Giggle, the camera pans out to reveal we've been watching the last 57 years of Doctor Who on the screen in that little toy robot... and you've got David Bradley & Neil Patrick Harris sitting at a table, waiting for the last move to be played.
You know, if it were me...

Featuring some production points from Unleashed & DWM... and also, a lot of analysis of the actual episode.
We start with the obvious note...
Six months, and it's her first time on a new planet.
Sorry, Big Finish; Ruby Sunday will have to join Stranded Volume 10 or something...

Okay, lots to talk about but, but, but... first little tidbit for you (from production team during the drinks reception) - that model of Ruby they've used for the scan is... THE 3D CAD MODEL MADE FOR THE RUBY SUNDAY FIGURE PROTOTYPE!

Things are getting MORE confusing. We have YET ANOTHER TRAILER NOW TODAY, and we are back to the regular interior.
WHAT THE HELL AM I EXPERIENCING TODAY?!
In a twist nobody expected - the Pertwee/McGann logo has been resurrected on iPlayer for the Classic Who thumbnailโฆ utterly breaking the months-long adherence to the new style guide.
This isn't a dig at William or anyone else here in terms of casting thoughts, but it does occur to me that given that the Bakers likely took Rani as a name from South Asian culture in its royal titular way... it would be perhaps nice to see a return under an Asian performer.
