Over the weekend, Gatwa debuted in regeneration scenes with fan favorite David Tennant (who played The Doctor’s 10th & 14th incarnations).
Gatwa, 31, recently revealed he received a stern warning from showrunner Russell T Davies for using foul language while on set.
“The only time I’ve ever gotten in trouble for anything was when I swore while wearing a Doctor Who costume,” the Sex Education star explained to The Sun.
“I got called into Russell’s office. Woo! And he let me know that that’s not acceptable,” Gatwa added.
“He said, “Do what you want when you’re out of costume, but when you’re in costume, do not let us catch you swearing”,’ he continued.
“For the last four years I’ve been co-leading an X-rated show, and so I’m on a constant journey of learning what it is to be a PG role model and the lead of a family show,” the actor previously told the Radio Times, Metro reports.
