Initially, it was a casual conversation going, ‘Wouldn’t it be fun to do a one-off?’ ‘Then Russell was back running the show and suddenly it could be something bigger. But there’s really no pressure. It’s a victory lap, in a way – you get to enjoy something that had meant so much to you, one last shot before you get too old to do it again.’ In April, fans were given a peek at Gatwa’s Doctor and Gibson’s Ruby in Sixties attire. Gibson and Gatwa go back to the Sixties in ” In the photos, the Doctor is shown in a blue pinstripe suit, sporting an Afro and silver rings, while Ruby is wearing a black-and white ensemble, including hoop earrings, belted dress and white knee-high boots.

An honour.’ He added: ‘Russell, get on that phone now!!’
