LOS ANGELES -- "Doctor Who" has been a long-time fan favorite show since the 1960s. Now, Ncuti Gatwa is taking on the mantle as the Fifteenth Doctor in a "Doctor Who" Christmas special called "The Church on Ruby Road."
"It's a huge, huge, huge responsibility, but one I'm trying to not let weigh me down and I try to remember to have the fun," Ncuti explained.

For a show that's been around for 60 years, there's certainly a lot to live up to, but fans seem to have embraced the new cast with open arms.
"Whovians, they are dedicated to the sci-fi, the history, the lore of Doctor Who, and from the moment I was announced, I felt the warmth of the family," he told On The Red Carpet.
Ncuti made his Fifteenth Doctor debut opposite David Tennant in the episode "The Giggle."
