Adesoji Kukoyi said: "Whatever I'm doing - maybe cleaning or doing homework - I mimicked the iconic doctoral theme song when I heard 'ooooh -ooh -oooooh', "I dropped everything and ran straight to the TV. ”

As a child growing up in Nigeria in the 1980s, Mr. Kukoyi made a sci-fi sensation about Who. British shows like Allo Allo and Fawlty Towers are regularly aired as a cultural hangover of the colonial era, but no one captures Mr. Kukoyi’s imagination like the Time-Time-the Time-travelling Doctor.

“He always talks to me,” Mr. Cukoy, 44, told the BBC that he currently has an old-fashioned PhD theme on his phone as ringtones.

“It’s like someone is guarding us…yes, we made mistakes, but we’ll do our best, especially if we have a teacher that will lead us on the right path.”

Mr. Kukoyi has been watching Who Doctor Who for decades, so he was happy to hear that Saturday’s episode will be in Nigeria for the first time.

"My wife and I watched the episode last week, and the preview (in the following week) said: 'Welcome to Lagos, Nigeria.'. I scream like a little girl!" Mr. Kukoy said.

For those of Kukoyi, the largest and most active city in Nigeria, this environment is not only important, but also for the performance. Saturday's adventure will be the first one set primarily in Africa.

It is appropriate for producers to choose this milestone - in 2013, fans around the world were very happy when nine Lost Doctor Who episodes of the 1960s were unearthed in a Nigerian TV facility.

Ariyon Bakare, who plays the mysterious barber in the upcoming plot, said fans can expect "a curved cultural ancestor collision" and "hair, lots of hair."

The preview also teases a vibrant barber shop, a vibrant Lagos market and a towering, terrifying spider.

Fans speculate that the creature is Anansi, a legendary figure in West African and Caribbean folk tales, but screenwriter Inua Ellams keeps the details secret.

As for why the show enjoys such a popularity in Nigeria, he said: "Nigerians are about doctors. Nigerians are a little loud, gregy people... Doctors are mysterious, lively, overconfident, but manage to save the day in some way."

Ellams moved to the UK from Nigeria as a child, and also considered why within 62 years the role of a well-known universe had hardly been spent in Africa.

He said that there may not be enough confidence in producing a true African story to be produced, or it may depend on the need for the doctor to “integrate into his environment and become inconspicuous.”

“Ncuti Gatwa, who plays the Doctor, is an actor of African descent, which means we can tell new stories with the Doctor and negotiate in different spaces because of their appearance.

"That's the talent of the show - every doctor creates new opportunities to tell new stories in different ways," Elams told the BBC.

However, these fresh Who stories have a smaller range than the old ones, as the show no longer airs on public television in Nigeria. If you are in the country and want to catch up with a doctor's vulnerability, you must subscribe to the streaming service Disney Plus.

In any case, Mr. Kukoyi insisted that the specialized unit of Nigerian doctors will be on the sofa on Saturday night, witnessing Tardis in Lagos.

He said, "I breathe in a tempting wait." "Even though, he came!"

Mr. Kukoyi - His first experience with a doctor was played by Tom Baker wearing a striped scarf, who said his young daughter was not his beloved performance.

He said he was "trying to get them on board."

Maybe see a doctor wearing traditional Nigerian costumes, squeezing his way in a typical Lagos market and falling into local folklore Will help them fall in love with the performance the way their father once did.
