However, it could just as well have been another example ofDoctor Whobreaking the fourth wall.

Furthermore, Gatwas first season contains two Doctor-lite episodes in which he hardly appears.

Thus,if Gatwa leaves prematurely, he would have far less screen time than most modern Doctors.

This is especially true if the series continues its trend of shorter seasons.
