Heartstopper star Kit Connor reveals favourite Doctor Who era

As a fervent admirer of the artistry and growth displayed by the talented Kit Connor, I find myself utterly captivated by his latest revelation – his ardor for Doctor Who. The man who effortlessly portrays a character as nuanced as Charlie Spring on Heartstopper, grew up on the very same sci-fi series that has captivated millions worldwide. It’s a delightful reminder of how our favorite stars share common ground with us mere mortals, and that beneath the glitz and glamour, they too are fans of the beloved Doctor and his timeless adventures through space and time.


Ahead of the expected third season of Netflix’s Heartstopper, lead actor Kit Connor has disclosed his enthusiasm for Doctor Who as a long-time fan.

In their latest TopMob Podcast episode featuring co-star Joe Locke, Connor shared some personal insights: “There are a few shows I’ve watched extensively. You might not be aware of this, but Doctor Who is one of the series I grew up with.

Connor mentioned his preference for a specific time period in the sci-fi series: “I frequently rewatch the David Tennant seasons,” he said. “Matt Smith is also good, so I might watch those too. However, my favorite would be the David Tennant era.

There’s been quite a buzz surrounding the third season of Heartstopper, with many discussions revolving around the mature content that will be explored, as the storyline delves into sexual topics.

In an interview for a podcast, Heartstopper’s creator, Alice Oseman, discussed the portrayal of sexual themes in the third season by saying, “It seems like people are talking quite a bit about the presence of sex in Heartstopper these days.

People seem quite surprised, but I agree with your point – it’s refreshing indeed for young individuals to witness a pairing that doesn’t jump straight into sexual intimacy. Instead, they can observe a relationship built on mutual respect and understanding first.

It seems like there’s a significant amount of pressure on today’s teens to engage in sexual activities at an early age. It can feel as if everyone around them – friends and the online world – are encouraging it, and the media targeted towards teens often promotes this idea.

Earlier this month, I caught a glimpse of the upcoming installment’s trailer, offering me, and fellow enthusiasts, a tantalizing sneak peek into what awaits us in the forthcoming episodes.

For Season 3, the official summary goes like this: “Charlie wishes to express his love for Nick, while Nick holds a significant message for Charlie. As summer fades and time swiftly moves forward, the friends become aware that the new school year will bring a mix of happiness and difficulties.

As they grow closer, share experiences, organize gatherings, and ponder over college decisions, it’s essential for everyone to rely on the people they care about when life takes unexpected turns.

Besides the original main characters returning for season 3, it’s also been announced that Hayley Atwell from Avengers: Endgame will portray Nick’s aunt Diane, Jonathan Bailey of Bridgerton will take on the role of Instagram-popular classicist Jack Maddox, and Eddie Marsan, known for Back to Black, has been chosen to play Charlie’s therapist named Geoff.
