Surprised the BBC are promoting it like that.
They tried to disassociate themselves from the previous seasons with the latest Doctor Who series numbered as season 1 and season 2.

Note how it’s all BBC season cast
What?
Most - if not all (only up to S8 of Dr Who) - of the cast in the 20 years poster are from the non Disney+ era
I don’t understand what you’re trying to say. All six doctors are in the poster from 2005 to 2025: Christopher Eccleston, David Tennant, Matt Smith, Peter Capaldi, Jodie Whittaker, Ncuti Gatwa.
Is Classic Who available to stream anywhere anymore? It’s no longer on BritBox and hasn’t been for quite some time
I think that was more an international distribution decision than a strictly BBC one.
It’s less intimidating for new viewers to jump on at “Season 1” than at “Series 14” / “Season 41”. Likely similar reasons why they reset the numbers when the show was revived back in 2005.
Note the first half of the interview is with Ncuti, and the second half is with Varada.

Graham Norton set for Doctor Who season two appearance
It’s douze points for Doctor Who!
Calling all Eurovision fans! This season of Doctor Who will follow the Doctor (Ncuti Gatwa) and Belinda Chandra (Varada Sethu) as they travel to the 803rd Interstellar Song Contest – where planets from across the universe compete for the top prize, and along for the ride is the King of Eurovision himself, Graham Norton.
Graham Norton joins the ensemble cast for the episode, which includes guest appearances from stars of stage and screen Freddie Fox, Rylan, Kadiff Kirwan, Charlie Condou and Miriam-Teak Lee.
Russell T Davies, Showrunner said: “There’s no song contest without the great man himself, and it was an honour to welcome Graham Norton to our studios in Cardiff. And it’s not just a cameo, he has a whole plot twist all to himself! This is the wildest episode of all, and we’re lucky to have Graham adding to the mayhem.”
The Interstellar Song Contest, which features an appearance from Graham Norton, is the sixth episode of the upcoming season and is set to air on Saturday 17 May.
Ncuti Gatwa returned for his second series with around 2.05 million viewers, unofficial overnight figures show.
This made it the 4th most-watched broadcast of the evening.
Making it the lowest opening rating for a new series* (does not include iPlayer viewers).
Once the 7/28 Day Data comes the number will significantly increase.

We're sad to report the passing of Jean Marsh, who played multiple roles in Doctor Who over the years including companion Sara Kingdom, Joan of England and the sorceress Morgaine ❤️❤️
