Doctor Who

Warning : pillager onward for Doctor Who season 15 , episode 1 , " The Robot Revolution . "

Mrs. Flood may be responsible for select everyDoctor Whocompanion since Ian and Barbera during the First Doctor ’s era , as this challenging theory explain . Doctor Whoseason 15 is double down on theMrs . Flood mysteryin a big way . Anita Dobson ’s fiber initially appear as Ruby Sunday ’s singular neighbor , but knowledge of the TARDIS and an ability to break in the quaternary wall soon marked Mrs. Flood out as a far more crucial figure . Doctor Whoseason 14 endedby rally a bigger future for the Floodster , and she will be present in every single episode of season 15 .

As such , Mrs. Flood returns inDoctor Whoseason 15 , episode 1 , " The Robot Revolution . " Strangely , the enigmatic pensioner has settled down in the house directly next toDoctor Who ’s new companion , Belinda Chandra , mirror Ruby Sunday from season 14 . Mrs. Flood ’s interest in Belinda only raises further questions about her true nature , but after " The Robot Revolution , " I theorize that this unknown entity is n’t just stalk the Fifteenth Doctor ’s companions - she has been on the Q.T. picking who the Doctor travels with for a very farsighted time .

Living Next To Belinda Proves Mrs. Flood Is Connected To Doctor Who Companions In General, Not Just Ruby Sunday

But How Does She Have The Money To Buy So Many Properties In Urban Areas?

Doctor Whoseason 15 ’s Apocalypse that Mrs. Flood now lives next to Belinda Chandra actuate a vital question : " Are Ruby and Belindathe first companions Mrs. Flood has lived near ? " While impossible to say for certain , certain clues drop throughout herDoctor Whoappearances suggest not . first of all , Mrs. Flood has been spotted break costumes identical to those made famous by former companions , such as Romana ’s bloodless coat and Clara ’s grizzly perspirer . Mrs. Flood ’s cosplays confirm that , at the very least , she is interested in fellow from before the Fifteenth ’s era .

It would hardly be a difficult retcon to claim that every individual fellow inDoctor Whohistory had a Mrs. Flood know nearby .

second , Doctor Whoseason 15 ’s house trailer seemed to show Mrs. Flood attending the Intergalactic Song Context , which powerfully implies the character is capable of traveling through time - no great surprisal , given the aura of power she ooze out .

Doctor Who ’s Mrs. Flood tease at the end of time of year 14 could on the Q.T. be the modern take on a powerful force from the classic episodes of the show .

After all , Doctor Whonever bothered to break who Sarah Jane Smith lived next to , or Tegan Jovanka , or Yaz Khan . It would hardly be a unmanageable retcon to take that every singlecompanion inDoctor Whohistory had a Mrs. Flood living nearby , even the characters who did n’t meet the Doctor on Earth . I can picture Mr. Flood occupying the hovel next to Leela as part of the Sevateem kin .

Theory: Mrs. Flood Isn’t Just Watching The Doctor’s Companions, She’s Choosing Them

Mrs. Flood Has Impeccable Taste In Companions

Before " The Robot Revolution , " one might have argued that Mrs. Flood posed as Ruby Sunday ’s neighbour just to get a front - row seat to the Fifteenth Doctor ’s conflict against Sutekh . By place herself next to Ruby , she was placing herself now in the midsection of the Doctor ’s shenanigans . The same can not be say for Belinda Chandra . Whereas Ruby ’s house was a focal point of action mechanism throughoutDoctor Whoseason 14 , Belinda is unable to even get back home . Aside from the initial abduction , Mrs. Flood is n’t getting a good view of the action by hold up next to Miss Chandra .

Perhaps as Rose ’s neighbor , Mrs. Flood encouraged her to give for a job at the department store where she would later touch the Ninth Doctor .

Additionally , Mrs. Flood sheepishly sidestep out of the Doctor ’s eyeline after Belinda departs , presumptively because she fear being recognized as Ruby ’s neighbor . If not to enjoy the spectacle , there must be another reasonableness Mrs. Flood is inserting herself into these fellow traveller ' lives , especially since she risks catching the Doctor ’s attending by doing so .

The latest Doctor Who series introduces the Fifteenth Doctor, joined by new companion Ruby Sunday.

Curiously , Mrs. Flood wishes Belinda destiny as the young nurse gets dragged off by the Missbelindachandrabots , ship Fifteen ’s newfangled companion off with a grinning . Flood did incisively the same with Ruby in " The Church on Ruby Road , " using more or less the same parole . The law of similarity suggestsMrs . Flood has some degree of personal investment in these companions . She select them , plant up their meetings with the Dr. , then undulate them off as they begin their respective journeys through time and space - not always openly , but perchance some companions get a whispered " unspoiled fate " from the shadows .

Doctor Whoseason 15 has already project a winding-sheet of mystery around Belinda ’s front . In the concluding mo of " The Robot Revolution , " the Doctor reminds himself , and the hearing , that he still has n’t figured out who fall in the robots Belinda ’s star certificate in the future tense - the all - important detail that led them to her in the first place . If Mrs. Flood was behind this , she was directly responsible for for putting the Doctor and Belinda together , and might ’ve done on the dot the same for Ruby Sunday .

The Doctor and Ruby were brought into each other ’s life by hob , butDoctor Whonever to the full explain how these goblins - creatures of chance , thaumaturgy , and coincidence - came to target Rubyin the first spot . If Mrs. Flood is an unceasing or one ofDoctor Who ’s Pantheon members , it would devolve within her sphere of influence to summon goblins . They were the Toymaker ’s " legions " after all .

This design can be retroactively lend oneself to past companion too . Perhaps as Rose ’s neighbour , Mrs. Flood encouraged her to apply for a business at the section store where she would later play the Ninth Doctor . perhaps Mrs. Flood convinced Vicki ’s family to get on the poorly - doom UK-201 , the wreckage of which would be notice by the First Doctor , etc .

Why Mrs. Flood Might Be Choosing The Doctor’s Companions In Doctor Who

Is Mrs. Flood A Friend Or A Foe?

Speculatively , there are two independent reasons why Mrs. Flood might wish to control who gets the laurels of becoming a passenger in the TARDIS . The first is living vicariously through the companions she chooses . During her few scene so far , Mrs. Flood has been picture as a buff of floor , which could also explicate how she breaks the 4th paries . Sending companions off to travel with the doc might be as close as Mrs. Flood gets to being a fellow herself , experiencing the thrill and wonder of the TARDIS through the eyes of a humble ground - indweller .

The second , and more sinister , ground Mrs. Flood might be picking the Doctor ’s companions is as some form of trial . Despite remaining in the background , Mrs. Flood has impinge on a presentiment figure thus far , and was specially unpleasant to Cherry Sunday in season 14 , imply some trace of malevolency to her design . Each companion might be a way for Mrs. Flood to try out the Doctor ’s ethics , or even to toy with his emotions .

Doctor Who season 15 is gear up to be a huge import in the story of the show , and hint may already let out what is coming in the time of year .

AsDoctor Who ’s Toymakerso humorously establish with his creature video display , the Doctor does not have a beneficial record of observe associate safe , and that take rears its horrifying chief again after Sasha 55 die in " The Robot Revolution . " Every time a fellow traveler gets killed , or is otherwise mistreated by their Time Lord friend , Mrs. Flood could be jotting down a big violent X in her notebook computer . Doctor Whoseason 15 may be when Mrs. Flood ’s psychometric test finally comes to an end , and the results are ready to be given .
