Ncuti Gatwa regenerates - again - in Doctor Who parody ahead of SNL UK
----------------------------------------------------------------------
But for copyright reasons, it's "very, slightly different"...

Ncuti Gatwa already provided us with one surprise regeneration in
Doctor Who, and now he's brought us another, as part of a teaser
sketch ahead of his hosting job on this week's final episode of
Saturday Night Live UK season 1.

The teaser clip sees Hannah Waddingham, last week's host, regenerating
into Gatwa, before meeting SNL UK cast members Emma Sidi and Larry
Dean who explain the situation to him.

They say they regenerate the hosts every week, prompting Gatwa to ask:
"Like Doctor Who?" - which they are adamant it isn't. As Sidi says:
"For copyright reasons, it's very, slightly different."

Sidi then explains that there are actually only two cast members on
SNL UK, who both regenerate as well, as she transforms into Al Nash.

Dean proposes showing that he can do it too, at which point he
regenerates into something very different...

It's not the first time SNL UK has entered the world of Doctor Who,
with a previous sketch featuring Aimee Lou Wood as the Time Lord's
companion delighting fans.

Gatwa follows SNL UK 's previous hosts Tina Fey, Jamie Dornan, Riz
Ahmed, Jack Whitehall, Nicola Coughlan, Aimee Lou Wood and Waddingham.

The series was recently renewed for a second season of 12 episodes,
which will start airing in Sky One from September 2026.

Speaking about the renewal news, SNL creator and executive producer
Lorne Michaels said: "I'm incredibly proud of our team and the show.
It keeps getting better every week. I'm grateful to Dana Strong and Sky
for believing in and supporting SNL UK. I'm excited for the season
ahead."
