Ncuti Gatwa regenerates into Billie Piper as he leaves Doctor Who

The 15th Doctor, played by Ncuti Gatwa, regenerated in the season finale of Doctor Who last Saturday. Gatwa, like many before him, failed to top Christopher Eccleston's portrayal of the Ninth Doctor as the best incarnation of the character. This came as no surprise to many. Especially me, eternal Eccleston fanboy.



(he also remains the sexiest Doctor)

But no one expected the good Doctor to regenerate into the image of his former companion, Rose Tyler. While the doc's been known to "recycle" faces (both his own and of people he's met) this is the first time he's taken on a form so familiar to the audience as a different character.

Why the show would take such an absurd turn has the entire fanbase perplexed. Our team of expert investigators took a closer look into the BBC writing room and found this anomaly:



Clearly, the BBC needs to take immediate steps to remove this foul creature from their organization and ensure it cannot return in the future.

 

what fucking brainworms did RTD get and how did it happen

 

I'm glad someone else recognizes the greatness of Chris Eccleston and the Ninth Doctor!

 

I am once again begging the BBC and Disney and whoever else funds this show to remember that they can just make it a fucking genre TV show like it used to be instead of 8 mini-movies a year.

Now that's just ridiculous. We need every single episode to be an epic unto itself while constantly alluding to some vaguely-defined threat that absolutely ties it all together, and then in the last ten minutes of the finale it's the fucking Zarbi from the Web Planet and the Doctor immediately kills them. And then regenerates into two David Tennants.
