The second reign of Russell T Davies as Doctor Who showrunner has wasted little time. Fittingly. From announcing new Doctor Ncuti Gatwa to the intriguing teaser for the 60th anniversary, Davies has done more promo for the show before his even airs than the previous regime did in toto. Hell, under Davies we know the show will air globally on Disney+! Now, as part of the UK’s annual Children in Need telethon, we know who Gatwa’s first companion will be. Say hello to actor Millie Gibson, who will join the series as companion Ruby Sunday.
BBC
Ruby Sunday is perhaps the most RTD name in history. Has a very “Rose Tyler” ring to it. Gibson is only 18, which makes me feel about a million years old. However, this roughly puts her the age of Rose when she joined the TARDIS in 2005. But now I’m just 17 years older, is the problem. Anyway.
According to the official announcement, Gibson will join some time next year once Gatwa officially takes over. Speaking of her new role, Gibson said:
“Whilst still being in total disbelief, I am beyond honoured to be cast as the Doctor’s companion. It is a gift of a role, and a dream come true, and I will do everything to try and fill the boots the fellow companions have travelled in before me. And what better way to do that than being by the fabulous Ncuti Gatwa’s side, I just can’t wait to get started.”
Here is how Millie Gibson was revealed to play the next companion Ruby Sunday
“Millie just is the companion. She is full of talent, strength, she has a cheeky sparkle in her eye and is sharp as a razor. From the moment she walked into the room she captured all of our attention with her effervescence and then solidified that attention with the sheer torque of her talent. This adventure is going to be so wild and so fun, I cannot WAIT to sail the universe with Millie!”
And Davies, his typical tease-happy self, had this to say:
“It’s the great honour of my job to find the next generation of talent, and Millie shines like a star already. She’s brilliant, dynamic, clever and a wonderful actor. As a Coronation Street fan, I’ve seen Millie survive chases, guns and sieges, but that’s nothing compared to what lies ahead for Ruby Sunday.”
The report also confirmed that David Tennant’s new Fourteenth Doctor would star in three specials to coincide with Doctor Who‘s 60th anniversary after which time Gatwa’s Fifteenth would take over. 2023 is close, but we don’t know exactly when the specials will air. I guess time—get it?—will tell.

If you’ve already enjoyed Enola Holmes 2 on Netflix and crave more fourth wall-breaking content from Enola herself, this behind-the-scenes video is for you. Millie Bobby Brown and co-stars feature, and boy are they delightful. Highlights include Henry Cavill ad-libbing lines in the scene where Sherlock Holmes is drunk. It is just as charming as you could hope for, but sadly didn’t make the final cut. And Brown’s on-set antics with Louis Partridge, who plays the Viscount Tewkesbury, shows off the actors’ real-life chemistry.
Brown’s brother Charlie was on hand to film these fun behind the scenes looks. Yes, his name is Charlie Brown. The video above covers many important scenes throughout the movie. There’s explosions, fights, and even a kissing scene. Brown insists that she prefers hitting Partridge to kissing him, but the two look like they’re constantly goofing around with each other between takes. They even sing Hamilton songs together.
The whole on-set diary is a nice peek behind the curtain and shows what seems like a happy set, which makes the movie even that much more fun to watch. Perhaps the most important information we learn is that Brown brings her pets with her to movie sets. And they have literary character names! Her dog is Winnie-the-Pooh and a cute white rabbit is confusingly named Eeyore.
Still Watching Netflix
There’s even more behind the scenes looks from Enola Holmes 2 on the Still Watching Netflix YouTube channel, including silly interviews with Brown and Cavill. There’s also content for their other shows and movies like The Crown, the Knives Out sequel Glass Onion, and the Lindsay Lohan holiday movie Falling for Christmas. Here’s hoping for even more bloopers and deleted scenes (maybe that proposal Partrdige alluded to?) from Enola Holmes 2 in a future video. Until then, maybe we’ll just watch the movie again.

Good evening, everyone! Today I want to discuss which picks I got correct and which ones I got wrong! So, let’s get started! I predicted that the Patriots would beat the Colts 22-14, but the final score was 26-3 Patriots over the Colts. The Colts did not score a single touchdown. I predicted that the Jets would beat the Bills 21-18, but the final score was 20-17 Jets over the Bills. I predicted that the Vikings would beat the Commanders 34-24, but the final score was 20-17 Vikings over the Commanders. I predicted that the Seahawks would beat the Cardinals 33-21, but the final score was 31-21 Seahawks over the Cardinals. The Cardinals once again make mistakes just like last week and the offense struggled again. However, the Cardinals have finally managed to score a touchdown on their first drive of their possession. The Cardinals offense just need to not make too many mistakes every time like high snaps, turnovers, and drop balls. I predicted that the Ravens would beat the Saints 24-16, but the final score was 27-13 Ravens over the Saints.
I predicted that the Packers would beat the Lions 17-14, but the final score was 15-9 Lions over the Packers. The Packers are not the team that they were last season because their offense did not do anything at the trade deadline especially trading for a wide receiver and Aaron Rodgers is not happy in Green Bay right now. They miss Devante Adams. I predicted that the Rams would beat the Buccaneers 23-20, but the final score was 16-13 Bucs over the Rams. I predicted that the Titans would beat the Chiefs 30-27, but the final score was 20-17 Chiefs over the Titans.
So overall, I have gotten 5 out of 8 picks correct!! Now, let’s get to the NFL week 10 picks, shall we?! The first game I will predict is the Seahawks @Buccaneers game. I think the Seahawks will beat the Bucs 31-23. The next game I will predict is the Vikings @Bills game. I think that this will be a very good game. I think the Bills will beat the Vikings 31-26 in a close game. The next game I will predict is the Jags @Chiefs game. I think the Chiefs will beat the Jags 34-20. The next game I will predict is the Browns @Dolphins game. I think the Dolphins will beat the Browns 24-17. The next game I will predict is the Texans @Giants game. I think the Giants will beat the Texans 35-16. The next game I will predict is the Broncos @Titans game. I think the Titans will beat the Broncos 27-19. The next game I will predict is the Colts @Raiders game. I think the Raiders will beat the Colts 29-16. The next game I will predict is the Cowboys @Packers game. I think the Cowboys will beat the Packers 24-16.
The next game I will predict is the Cardinals @Rams game, the divisional rivalries. Both of these teams are coming off with brutal losses last week. Both offenses are really struggling especially the Cardinals offense. The Cardinals might be without their starting safety Budda Baker and that would be a big loss, but he could play actually. If he does play, then that would be good news for the Cardinals defense because they need to shut down the Rams best wide receiver Cooper Kupp. He was held pretty good the last time these two teams played. The Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford is questionable to play and so is Kyler Murray. If Kyler cannot play, then Colt McCoy will be starting for the Cardinals who has been pretty good moving the offense down the field. The big issue that the Cardinals are really facing right now is their offensive linemen because they are missing their starters including Rodney Hudson, and Will Hernandez. They have to find a way to block Aaron Donald because he is going to try and wreck your gameplan. You are not going to have Aaron blocked every time you snap the ball, but you got to slow him down by running the football under center more, try not to throw too many wide receiver screens, no high snaps, no turning the ball over, and taking too many penalties that put you in bad situations. This game is a must win for the Cardinals and they know it. If they don’t win this game, their season is likely over. So, who will win? Well, I’m going to carefully pick the Cardinals to beat the Rams 20-17. But if they can limit mistakes and get big stops on defense and forcing turnovers, then I think the Cardinals will win and they must. So, fingers crossed! The next game I will predict is the Chargers @49ers on Sunday Night Football. I think the 49ers will beat the Chargers 24-20. The last game I will predict is the Commanders @Eagles game, the divisional rivalries on Monday Night Football. I think the Eagles will beat the Commanders 35-17.
So, what do you guys think about the NFL week 10 picks?!
