We’re incredibly proud to celebrate OG Miles Taylor (Nowell ’18) as he steps into the TARDIS! 🚀💙

Miles’s journey from the Richard Whiteley Theatre stage to becoming the new voice of the Eleventh Doctor is a fantastic example of where passion, creativity and determination can lead.

Huge congratulations to Miles on this incredible achievement — we can’t wait to see (and hear!) what comes next. Do give the trailer a watch and show your support! 👏🎭

✨OG Miles Taylor (Nowell ’18) is Doctor Who!

Miles has just finished work on an exciting project with Big Finish Productions, stepping up as the voice of the Doctor in a brand-new run of audiobook adventures. He was invited to portray the Eleventh Doctor after his self-made Doctor Who content on YouTube caught industry attention – a brilliant reminder that following your passions can open extraordinary doors.

Louise Jamieson (fellow actress and former Doctor Who assistant during the Tom Baker era) was so impressed with Miles’s work that she needed only a single coaching session with him, a testament to both his talent and the excellent training he received from Giggleswick’s Drama Department based in the The Richard Whiteley Theatre.

Mrs Lacey, Director of Drama, said: “We are so proud of Miles as he begins his dream role as the voice of Doctor Who. He embraced every opportunity the Drama Department offered, and this achievement reflects his hard work, passion and commitment. We cannot wait to welcome him back for our Performing Arts Careers Day in February.

Visit the Big Finish Productions website to hear Miles in action. Geronimo!
