Bradley Cooper, a non-Jewish actor, has been excoriated in the media for wearing a prosthetic nose as Leonard Bernstein.

Incoming Doctor Ncuti Gatwa, beloved for his Bafta-nominated turn as the sunny, quip-tastic Eric Effiong in Netflixâs Sex Education, is the first Black actor to take on the role in the showâs 60-year history. And Russell T Davies, the screenwriter responsible for some of the most acclaimed seasons in the recent Who canon (he oversaw the series from its 2005 revival until David Tennantâs 2010 departure) is back as showrunner. In another first, Disney+ will be streaming the show around the world, and its name on the credits inevitably means a generous boost to the budget: Davies has admitted that the anniversary specials starring Tennant and Catherine Tate cost âmore than most things Iâve made for the past 10 years added togetherâ. No pressure, then. In her soap days, Gibson jokes, people would often look at her quizzically in the street, as if to ask: âDo I know you from somewhere? Are you someoneâs ex-girlfriend?â But when her first episode airs on 25 December, sheâll be on the path to household name status, joining the ranks of Who companions such as Billie Piper, Freema Agyeman, Jenna Coleman and Karen Gillan.
