Bookmakers are now offering odds on which of the iconic Doctor Who monsters that Ncuti Gatwa will face first
Ncuti Gatwa is due to start his tenure as the next Doctor Who towards the end of the year and bookies are offering odds on which monster he will face first.
David Tennant has returned as the Doctor but in a shock twist he is officially the Fourteenth Doctor after regenerating into the form of Tennant's original Tenth Doctor once again.
Tennant has returned for the show's 60th anniversary specials with Gatwa expected to take over in December with his first full show likely to air on Christmas Day.
| Gatwa's first monster faced | Odds | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| The Master | 11/10 | 47.6% |
| Cyberman | 100/30 | 23.1% |
| Daleks | 9/2 | 18.2% |
| Sontarans | 6/1 | 14.3% |
| Weeping Angels | 7/1 | 12.5% |
Bookmakers make The Master the clear favourite to be the first monster that the Doctor faces under this new regeneration.
The Master is a recurring character in Doctor Who and the archenemy of the Doctor despite them previously being childhood friends.
The last appearance for The Master was back in March 2020 so it's we're well due the character coming back to the show and they may kick off Gatwa's reign with a big face-off.

7/2 odds given that Ncuti Gatwa is the shortest serving Doctor
There's now a 22% chance that Ncuti Gatwa is the shortest serving Doctor according to the latest odds that make it 7/2 he'll stay far shorter than anyone else.
That'll all depend on the viewing figures that Gatwa gets though and it's unlikely it will be poor with his fans from Sex Education likely to get into the show.
Further odds given include odds of 5/2 that any of Gatwa's episodes are the least watched in the show's history and as big as 20/1 that any of them are the most watched.

Specials also given around Ryan Gosling's reported appearance on Doctor Who
Reports from The Sun back in September said that Ryan Gosling will star in the new series of Doctor Who after meeting Ncuti Gatwa while filming the blockbuster film Barbie.
This led to show bosses looking to sign-up Gosling for the show and it's expected that he will star in the new series with Disney+ airing new episodes worldwide and also co-producing the show now.
The latest odds have Gosling as favourite to play an Auton in the series with the betting market suggesting there's a 33% chance that he does so.
| Who will Ryan Gosling play on Doctor Who? | Odds | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Auton | 2/1 | 33.3% |
| The Master | 4/1 | 20.0% |
| Davros | 5/1 | 16.7% |
| Future Incarnation of The Doctor | 7/1 | 12.5% |
| Previous Incarnation of The Doctor | 8/1 | 11.1%
