When Ncuti Gatwa was asked about the future of his take on Doctor Who he gave the talk show host a brief breakdown of the plans for the show. His full statement was, “We did the second series this year, the Christmas special is coming up, and we are filming a third series next year.” It was his final claim about filming Season 3 that caused the controversy. 

But when the episode reached the airwaves, Ncuti Gatwa’s Doctor Who comment had been edited. His final comment about the third season was removed from the interview and replaced by brief clips from other parts of the interview. That removed snippet sent fans into panic mode, with conspiracy theories about the edit immediately popping up.
