Ncuti Gatwa has already brought a much - take change of vim to the showwhile also fitting in perfectly withevery other actor who has played the Doctor . While Gatwa ’s Fifteenth Doctor made a inviolable entrance due toDoctor Who ’s bi - generation twistin " The Giggle , " showrunner Russell T Davies has the actor ’s iteration of the Time Lord flirting with sure edges of what ’s deem acceptable .
TheDisney epoch ofDoctor Whohas already resulted in a smattering of subtle change , with the family - favorable troupe acquiring the international distribution rights for the show in late 2022 . However , originative ascendancy is still mostly in the hand of Davies and the BBC .

Jocelyn Narrowly Stops Ncuti Gatwa’s Doctor Swearing In “Space Babies”
Swearing is largely avoided in most of the Doctor Who universe
Near the conclusion of theDoctor Whoseason 14 opener , the Doctor is explaining his program to get the titular baby to their new home . When talking about the reason for the immense build - up of methane in the lower deck , Fourteen says to Ruby , " No wonder it was stinking down there . For six years , a great pile of sh- " Thanks to Jocelyn ’s self - proclaimed " Nanny filter,“Gatwa ’s Doctor bails out of the expletive and opts instead for " Shizzle . “Swearing is featured very rarely inDoctor Who , and when it is , the ordinarily - forbidden mental lexicon never approaches anything as uttermost as the S - Holy Scripture .
Torchwood , while still part of the mainDoctor Whocanon , was aimed at a more ripe interview . Therefore , it often sport strong language and intimate content - both of which are practically non - existent inDoctor Who .
Doctor Who ’s position to unsuitable language hugely predate the show ’s Disney ties .

That being say , other corners of the dealership have been know to be far more lenient .

Therefore , it often featured strong language and sexual content - both of which are practically non - existing inDoctor Who .
The Last Doctor To Almost Swear Was (Unsurprisingly) Peter Capaldi’s
The Twelfth Doctor would likely have had a foul mouth if the show had allowed for it

So , it ’s not surprising to remember Capaldi ’s full debut as the Time Lord inDoctor Whoseason 8 , episode 1 , " Deep Breath , " and the potent implication of Twelve ’s deficiency of filter . When using the psychical paper in " Deep Breath,“the Doctor ’s repellant mouth bleeds an terrible strand of words onto his trusty ID . It ’s never revealed what the psychical paper say , but the fact that it was such a funny moment highlight the rarity of swearing inDoctor Who .
