No one, other than the higher-ups at Disney, really know the answer to this. Of course, there have been theories, that Deadline has attributed to sources at the House of Mouse, ranging from the show's apparent 'wokeness' to the series being too quintessentially British to translate to audiences across the pond.
But one point has left me flabbergasted. One of Deadline's sources is quoted as suggesting Ncuti Gatwa hasn't been a good ambassador for Doctor Who, saying: “There is more to that role than performing. You have got to be an ambassador for the brand and embrace being that generation’s Doctor. Matt Smith and David Tennant fully understood the responsibility it carried.”
I have to ask – at what point has Ncuti Gatwa not understood the responsibility of being an ambassador for Doctor Who?
His range as a performer has been beautiful to watch, as he brought us everything from unfiltered joy to unadulterated rage and everything in between. He seamlessly slipped into the role, following on from none other than fan favourite Tennant, and absolutely running with it.
But, of course, the role of a Doctor goes beyond what you see on screen. It's in their interactions with the fans, how they embody the Time Lord's values in their life while they're playing the role – which Gatwa, again, did beautifully.
Instead, he focused on the positivity in the fandom, taking time out of his day to meet fans while he filmed on location and interacting with them on social media. He shared mountains of fan art on Instagram, sharing his love for the talented artists, and often shared his absolute adoration for any Who-related gifts he was given.
He's also got an unwavering dedication to inclusivity, and is clearly aware that his incarnation of the Doctor will have meant a lot to anyone who hasn't traditionally seen themselves represented on screen.
I don't know why it's been said that Gatwa wasn't a good ambassador for Doctor Who. Could it have been because he did the occasional sexy photoshoot for magazine covers? In response to that, I can only feel sorry for those who think the Doctor can't be sexy. What a sad little life, Jane.
Whatever you thought about the past two seasons, and about Disney's departure, Gatwa cannot be blamed. We were lucky to have experienced his Fifteenth Doctor, and Doctor Who would be in a much worse place without him.
