Doctor Who showrunner addresses Mrs Flood fan theory – and promises answers soon

by

As a long-time Doctor Who fan with decades of memories etched into my mind like TARDIS walls, I must say that the enigma surrounding Mrs Flood has been a delightful and intriguing twist in the latest season. The hints dropped by Russell T Davies about her possible connection to Romana have me on the edge of my seat, much like a Dalek about to exterminate its prey!

The identity of Anita Dobson’s Mrs Flood is a mystery that’s been plaguing Doctor Who viewers since the 2023 Christmas special, with showrunner Russell T Davies now addressing one of the fan theories about her.

In the recently concluded season of the BBC sci-fi series featuring Ncuti Gatwa and Millie Gibson, Mrs. Flood concluded the story from a snowy rooftop, wrapped in a fluffy white cloak. Notably, she breached the conventional boundaries of the narrative, a technique that has become characteristic of her role.

In an interview with SFX magazine, as reported by GamesRadar, Davies hinted at the popular fan theory suggesting Mrs. Flood could be a reincarnation of his former companion Romana. He didn’t completely dismiss this idea because she wore a similar costume.

In a recent interview, I shared my thoughts about an outstanding moment: “She left us all in stitches during that scene, her talent is simply extraordinary. Next year, get ready for even more brilliant responses and innovative solutions.” I added, “Given her white fur coat, don’t you think people might mistake her for Romana?”

Davies remarked: “I assure you, I’ll provide answers to that question. Regrettably, it will have to wait until next year. Let me tell you, we had an absolute blast working on this story. Anita Dobson – I can hardly contain myself! – The best is yet to come from Anita Dobson.” (or) “Davies stated: “I guarantee answers for that query, but it will be revealed next year. Trust me, the fun and excitement we had with this tale are nothing compared to what’s coming up for Anita Dobson. Magnificent!”

She told us: “You will find out more about her as we go along.”

She mentioned: “To be precise, during the filming of this specific series, season 2, you’ll discover quite a bit about her character. It’ll be intriguing to see the reactions once it’s released.”
