WHO'S BACK Ncuti Gatwa and Millie Gibson's first full series of Doctor Who premieres on iPlayer with a double bill
Doctor Who Episodes 1 and 2 available on BBC iPlayer from midnight on Friday
The announcement of a simultaneous global launch for this new series of Doctor Who had some UK fans crying foul. Why, they argued, should the US be favoured with a primetime premiere, while our debut appointment with the Doctor gets scheduled for midnight?
They have a point, as this is a British TV property, but those objecting do need to bear in mind a couple of things. First, there's the injection of cash from overseas partner Disney, which means the investors have likely had a say. And second, if Ncuti Gatwa's Time Lord is to succeed, he needs to be thought of in the same way as Star Wars and Marvel, not as some idiosyncratic oddball with a smaller following.
Not that any of this dilutes the strangeness that makes Doctor Who so special or results in the episodes being any less of a talking point. In fact, my advice would be to think of this opening double bill more as a big entertainment event that you want to be first in line to see. Just spare a thought for parents with kids now pleading to stay up through the night because they don't have school the next day.
