Ncuti Gatwa, about his experience working with Benedict in ´The Roses´.

You’re in the upcoming movie The Roses, which is Jay Roach’s reimagining of The War of the Roses with Benedict Cumberbatch and Olivia Colman. That is pretty good company. (...) I couldn’t believe that they had never worked together, Colman and Cumberbatch, because the chemistry is just off the charts. So you went from being on set with Ryan Gosling and Margot Robbie to being sandwiched between Cumberbatch and Colman. It’s a nice sandwich; I hope to be in many more sandwiches. Oh, Cumberbatch! Benedict is…what a dream. The things I want to say about that man, I don’t think are appropriate. What a handsome and charming, lovely, lovely, lovely, lovely man. He put me to shame. This man gets up and swims in the cold sea every morning. You weren’t tempted to go sea swimming, even with Benedict Cumberbatch? I mean, I was tempted. I was very, very tempted. But I thought, No, I’ll see you on set.

DOCTOR WHO

How to Get Your Friends into Doctor Who (2005)

Doctor Who is an incredibly popular show that no-one has seen, so I often eagerly recommend it to people, and sometimes I make the mistake of actually watching it *with* them. It's easy to forget how randomly terrible and/or cringy and/or uncomfortably Moffat-esque some of the episodes are, *especially* when you're watching it with someone who has no idea what to expect, SO I made a list of nine episodes to watch with a complete newcomer (NOT a "best episodes" list), based on exactly how keen they really are:

If they say "fine, just this once"

Blink (S3, E10)

This is a classic, a no-brainer really. A tense, creepy, tightly-written piece of horror TV with twists and turns and solid drama, it's considered the best episode of Doctor Who for a reason, and it's very accessible for a one-off viewer.

Silence in the Library & Forest of the Dead (S4, E8-9)

If you're looking for a two-parter, I think this one is super easy to put on. It's fantastic and it's got horror, action, sci-fi and mystery elements, and it all ties together very neatly.

The Runaway Bride (S3, E0)

I like to include a Christmas episode for the rapidly approaching holiday season- this one is very funny and mostly very light, along with some good sci-fi monsters and some bonus exposition for the general show.

If they say "alright, prove I should watch it"

Midnight (S4, E10)

If they like horror, this one is a heavy-hitter. A really tight script, with excellent drama and a really great concept. It's a great introduction to the Tenth Doctor with minimal lore. If this doesn't impress your person, I don't know what will.

Vincent and the Doctor (S5, E10)

If they want something more heart-felt, this is the one. The monster of the week is a bit cheap but all the scenes with Van Gogh really utilise the opportunties that the classic historical figure story provides- plus that ending is undeniable. A good intro to Eleven, and a nice, contained story.

A Christmas Carol (S6, E0)

This one is just a fun Christmas story, it has the funny floating fish and the time travel and all that. If they enjoy this, they'll love all Moffat's stuff lucky them.

If they say "I'm keen! Where do I start?"

Rose (S1, E1)

I think Rose (and then the rest of Series 1) is the perfect episode of Doctor Who to properly start on. It's campy, it's fun and weird and it sets up basically everything you need to know for the Revival Era. You get the companion, the Doctor, regular Doctor Who tropes and themes, etc. Plus, if they can't get past the Mickey bin scene, this show probably isn't for them anyway.

The Eleventh Hour (S5, E1)

I think the only other reasonble place to start is Series 5- it's the only other clean break in the show that doesn't suck (sorry, TWWFTE is just Not Good). It seemed to work for Jeje, you get some unexplained things but generally it's easy to follow, and if they're Sherlock fans or something similar they'll love this era in particular.

The Church on Ruby Road (S1/14, E0)

If they're desperate to be up to date, get them to start on Series 14/Season 1 first. I think so far it's a bad place to jump in IMO IMO, but just one season is far easier to manage than all 14, and the promise of a special and another season coming out within the next 6 months is an easy sell.

So there you go, there is my REVISED version of this list. if they don't like any of these episodes, kill me.

Also, yeah there's a lot of RTD era episodes in here and no Chibnall ones or Capaldi ones. That's not because I hate Chibnall or 12 RTD was just a better writer than back then SORRY.

We really are getting the full Capaldi in this episode.

okay okay I know the point of this is “White people need to put as much effort into learning how to pronounce Black people’s names as they do foreign European names” and 100% I totally agree, absolutely good point

but this tweet becomes hilarious in the context of this clip:

anyways, absolutely put effort into learning how people pronounce their names. just don’t feel bad if it takes you some time to get it right 😅

(also in case you didn’t watch the video it’s “N-SHOO-tee” not “SHOO-tee”)

Happy pride month maybe I’ll start watching Doctor Who again
