Ncuti Gatwa looked sensational as he stepped back into the swinging sixties while filming for the upcoming episodes of Doctor Who.
The actor, 31, who plays the Time Lord, cut a stylish figure in a blue and white pinstripe suit as he looked to be dancing in the scene sneak peek set on Abbey Road.
Ncuti was joined by his co-star Millie Gibson who was dressed in a sixties black and white mini dress with a white belt.
The actress, 19, who plays his sidekick Ruby Sunday, completed the look with some trendy white lace up boots and pinned her blonde locks up in a perfectly hairsprayed bun.
The new series is set to air on BBC One next month and will feature the Doctor playing a guitar in a studio that bears an uncanny resemblance to Abbey Road.

However the BBC have frustrated fans after they announced the two first episodes, Space Babies and The Devil’s Chord, will both debut on the BBC and Disney + from midnight on Friday 10 May – rather than the usual peak-time Saturday slot.
Devotees of the sci-fi series say the decision to launch the show in the graveyard slot is a snub to its younger fans, who will be fast asleep at the time.
They also say it undermines the show’s reputation for being ‘event television’. The unusual scheduling decision is the result of a new, multi-million-pound deal between the BBC – which has exclusive rights to the series in the UK – and Disney+, which has broadcast rights for the rest of the world.
For the first time, it has been agreed the show will be broadcast around the globe simultaneously.
This decision benefits American viewers, who will be able to watch episodes as they air each week on Disney+ at the family-friendly time of 7pm in the eastern US.
British viewers who want to watch the show when it is released will have to tune in to the episodes on the BBC’s iPlayer at midnight.
The BBC will then broadcast the new episodes again in the show’s traditional Saturday evening slot.
It comes after the show confirmed Varada Sethu as Ncuti‘s new companion for his second instalment as the Time Lord.

Ncuti will be starring in the new series as the 15th doctor and Millie will be his travelling companion, Ruby Sunday
Doctor Who has officially confirmed Varada Sethu (R) as Ncuti Gatwa’s new companion for his second instalment as the Time Lord
It was previously reported Varada would be replacing Millie as Ncuti’s companion, although details about her character are still under wraps.
Doctor Who showrunner Russell T Davies told BBC: ‘Right now in the studio, shooting for 2025, we’ve got Ncuti, Millie and Varada fighting side by side – we need all three, because the stakes are higher than ever!’
Millie starred as the 15th Doctor’s companion Ruby and was first seen on screen for the 2023 Christmas special returning for an eight episode run in May.
However, it has then been suggested Millie’s character Ruby will be replaced by Varada for Ncuti’s second series.
It has been claimed that the former Coronation Street actress will be finishing up on the show in the coming weeks to ‘tie up loose ends’ and will not appear in the 2024 Christmas special.
Varda started filming at the show’s Cardiff studios in January where she was seen on set with Ncuti.
