Doctor Who star Ncuti Gatwa hints he may pitch for Fife episode - “there’s a big something going down in Kirkcaldy!”

The Rwandan-born actor has stepped into one of the most coveted roles in television as it returned for a new series.

Gatwa, who previously starred in the Netflix hit Sex Education, dropped a hint about an episode filmed in the Kingdom in an interview with Hollywood Reporter as part of a press trip to the USA to mark the launch of the latest series.

He was asked if he had asked series creator, Russell T. Davies, to shoot an episode in Scotland - his Dr Who predecessor David Tennant had one of his first stories set here.

“Do you know what? I haven’t,” he said, “But I will. Next trip, Bonnie Scotland. Fight for the kingdom of Fife.”And he added “There’s a big something going down in Kirkcaldy.” before laughing at the prospect of American audiences trying to pronounce the name of the Lang Toun.
