Ncuti Gatwa on THAT meme! | The Graham Norton Show - BBC

Doctor Who himself, Ncuti Gatwa, tells Graham Norton about his breakout role as Eric in 'Sex Education'.
He reveals that his mum, who works for the NHS, sent him a mocked up poster she had seen during the pandemic which featured a picture of Ncuti as Eric with the slogan "Wash your hands, you detty pig".
Together on Graham’s sofa are Imelda Staunton, playing Queen Elizabeth II in the final episodes of The Crown; the hotly anticipated new star of Doctor Who, Ncuti Gatwa; Northern Irish star Jamie Dornan, who is in a new series of amnesia thriller The Tourist; and Scottish actor Jack Lowden, starring in the latest season of spy drama Slow Horses.
With music from Gregory Porter, who performs 'Christmas Wish'.

This was in every school bathroom during Covid times - a classic

[@facetwit99]

Ncuti is gonna be such a good doctor

[@lewis7515]

They said that about Whittaker - everyone was sooo certain.... however, unlike Tennant, you can bet Whittaker won't be invited back every 5 minutes, just to enter a scene, sneeze, and then leave - anything as long as he's in it.

[@MrsMoores]

I can't wait for the Christmas special! From the previews we have so far, Ncuti is going to be amazing! @lewis7515 14's story is done. Tennant won't be coming back, at least not for a long while yet.

​@@lewis7515 Yaaaaawwn.

[@lio1234234]

@@lewis7515 Except we didn't expect Chris Chibnall's writing of characters to be so bad. We have good experience with Russel's writing so that won't be an issue this time around.

[@MikeRiderOOO]

Ncuti isn’t going to be a good Doctor… Ncuti is going to be a FANTASTIC Doctor!

[@aerelyamirart]

[@Ohana9999]

He has such a good sense of style! And he's so likeable and charismatic, he'll be an amazing doctor❤❤

[@artsycandy9183]

This man is brilliant! I'm so excited to see him as the doctor!!

[@zephyrite1264]

That NHS photo makes him look like he could be Lamar's (Revenge of the Nerds) British nephew.

[@mercymmbone8740]

Even better in person 😉

[@reginageorgetownuni]

And the follow up "i didn't do a poo!"

[@fernandasarantes6088]

[@lifjyruss]

[@deakensomoza3305]

Ncuti Gatwa was going to Pixar Animation Studio, Ncuti Gatwa wants to perform Fantastic Beasts and Ncuti Gatwa is gonna be in PAW Patrol: The Third Movie

[@The_Real_doctor227]

EARLY!! ALSO IM SO EXCITED FOR HIS DOCTOR!!

[@jessicahoward9046]

My favourite of his will always be, the epically British, "I WANT SOME CRISPS AND A WEE!"

[@chaosoul-seanleeriggs369]

That is great!

[@cloudsandmorelcouds4298]

No bc that poster was plastered all over the school toilets 😭😭

[@silverstarlight9395]

He's wearing heals!

[@Rai_S82]

*heels And?

[@PrincessC03]

yes, and?

[@grimmkat06]

Not *just* heels, he’s wearing Louboutins 👌

[@svetlanai4968]

did someone fart at 1:08??

[@nointernet2439]

Is he Rwandan ??

[@Thomas-kp8mo]

Yeah mixed with Scottish

[@phantomkate6]

Yes. He moved to Scotland with his family when he was a young child.

[@thomasfy4]

Why does his accent change in every interview

[@Thomas-kp8mo]

Scottish Ugandan mix.

[@Gzeebo]

He has a naturally mercurial accent. Part Scots, part Rwandan and a bit of general southeast England, like a lot of UK actors who have to learn it for auditions.
