House of the Dragon star and former Doctor Who actor Matt Smith has revealed how he welcomed the fifteenth Doctor, Ncuti Gatwa, to the role, describing the hilarious circumstance from which it came about.Per Deadline, Smith told the BBC that he had kept up with the Doctor Who series since moving on from the role, revealing how he welcomed the latest Doctor to the role, “I dropped him a line and said ‘well done.'” Smith, who played the 11th Doctor, recounted how he almost botched a creatively elaborate welcome to the previous Doctor, Jodie Whittaker, leading to his straightforward approach with Gatwa. The actor called Whittaker, who had become the first female Doctor to sing the show’s iconic theme music, much to her confusion. Smith, however, believes Gatwa is perfect for the role. “I always keep my eye on Doctor Who. I think [Ncuti’s] great for it, he’s totally made for it,” he said.Tennant continued,”The thing about something like this is it’s the peripherals, it’s not the job. It’s other stuff that comes with it, that I didn’t see coming. It’s a show that has so much focus and enthusiasm on it. It’s not like Ncuti [hasn’t] been in a massive Netflix series, but Doctor Who is on a slightly different level. It’s cross-generational, international, and has so much history that it feels like it belongs to everyone.”
