Make way for Morris!

Having just won a BAFTA at the age of fourteen, Lenny Rush’s stardom is once again about to go out of this world as he takes on the role of Morris in the new series of Doctor Who, starring alongside Ncuti Gatwa.

Lenny has starred in numerous shows including ‘Dodger’ and ‘A Christmas Carol’ but it was his starring role in Daisy May Coopers ‘Am I Being Unreasonable’ that won him the BAFTA for Best Male Performance in a Comedy Programme this year.

Now Lenny is about to join the team travelling time and space as he takes on his new role as Morris.

Speaking about joining Doctor Who, Lenny said: “It’s an absolute honour to be part of Doctor Who, one of the most iconic shows on television and wow what a dream come true!”
