EXTENTION TASK:

Why was the casting of Ncuti Gatwa a significant moment in the history of Doctor Who?

He was the first black actor to play the lead role of the doctor

What aspects of this scene do you think an audience might enjoy? List at least three things and explain why the audience would enjoy each aspect.

 I believe personally that the audience would most likely enjoy the aspect of suspense at the start of the clip, the reveal of the doctor & the teleportation to the past

How is this scene constructed to tell the audience the history of Doctor Who? Think about the script, camerawork and acting.



What can you spot in Doctor Who that you will find in most television dramas? (E.g. characters, dramatic music etc.) These are called key conventions - list as many as you can think of.

A central protagonist, a companion, music to set the feel for a scene  

What would a Doctor Who fan ('Whovian') like or dislike about this scene?
