YouTube: Regeneration, Omega and THAT RETURN | Behind the Scenes of The Reality War
Ncuti: "It was always the plan to do this amount of seasons. Plus, it's a role that demands a lot of you, physically and emotionally and mentally."
I really hope that's true. I would have loved to see Ncuti continue in the role, but like with Jodie Whitaker, it takes some of the sting out to know they got what they wanted from the role and moved on rather than staying on longer than intended or else felt they were being forced out.
I hope so, too - right now, I don't see any reason not to take him at his word.
He mentions being tired and the role being demanding a couple of times in "Unleashed", too.
"Don't you think he looks tired?"
Words that sunk both Harriet Jones' and Christopher Eccleston's careers.
