But a new quote from Gatwa seems to suggest this big reveal may not be as important as we first thought. Ncuti Gatwa may have played The Doctor, but he doesn’t seem to know anything more about the show than fans. But the most glaring part of the quote is not what’s mentioned but what’s not mentioned. Gatwa doesn’t bring up Piper’s cameo at the end of the series, which at the very least suggests she won’t be the next Doctor. If Gatwa doesn’t know the plan for the show going forward, it’s possible there wasn’t a plan for this big cameo at all.
