A KILMACOLM school has congratulated actor Ncuti Gatwa for becoming the new Doctor Who.

The Rwandan-Scottish actor, taking over from actress Jodie Whittaker next year, visited St Columba's during his time at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland to perform a play.

The school said: “Congratulations to Ncuti - feel free to bring the Tardis to St Columba’s any time you like!”
