Doctor Who

Warning : Spoilers in front forDoctor Whoseason 15 , episode 1 , " The Robot Revolution . “Anita Dobson ’s Mrs. Flood has been one ofDoctor Who ’s biggest mysteries in the Ncuti Gatwa era , and the season 15 premiere boast her in a surprising scenario that suggests a connection to the Doctor belong back far further than originally assumed . Since her launching in 2023 ’s " The Church on Ruby Road , " Mrs. Flood became a semi - regular penis ofDoctor Who ’s 14 form , bolt down up and prompt us all of the mystery that surrounded the fibre and her unusual ability to break the quaternary wall .

With Russell T. Davies ' confirmation thatMrs . Flood will appear in every episode ofDoctor Whoseason 15 , it looks like we ’re eventually go to get some answer . WithDoctor Whoseason 15 , episode 1 , " The Robot Revolution , " now unblock , it ’s a alleviation to discover that Sir Humphrey Davy was n’t mislead anyone . Dobson ’s type has a captivating cameo near the beginning of the installment , and it take a shit me think that she may have been following the show ’s principal character for 100 .

Mrs. Flood Now Lives Next To Belinda - Has She Been Doing This For EVERY Doctor Who Companion?

Belinda has a familiar neighbor in “The Robot Revolution”

" The Robot Revolution " reveals that Mrs. Flood is now Belinda ’s neighbor , and the last time we saw Dobson ’s grapheme , she live next door to Millie Gibson ’s Ruby Sunday . Belinda may simply live on the same street as Ruby , but I think this would be too coincidental . Instead , what I think is more potential is that Mrs. Flood has motivate so that she ’s in the vicinity of the Doctor ’s next associate before Belinda begins her adventures in the TARDIS . If so , there ’s reason to believe she ’s been doing this for every companion right back to those of William Hartnell ’s First Doctor .

When she waved both Ruby and Belinda off as they forget home , Mrs. Flood did n’t seem concerned or worried about where either fellow traveler would be going .

There ’s nothing to suggest that Mrs. Flood has any form of participating part in pick out the Doctor ’s companions , but there is a tinge of something that tease she has some kind of foresight that allows her to stay onwards of the curve in this heed . When she wave both Ruby and Belinda off as they entrust home , Mrs. Flood did n’t seem concerned or worry about where either companion would be going . Specifically with Belinda , Mrs. Flood is more like a gallant and excited grandmother watching her loved one correct off on a big dangerous undertaking , despite Sethu ’s lineament being visibly afraid .

Doctor Who Doesn’t Rule Out The Possibility Of Multiple Mrs. Floods

Mrs. Flood is arguably too omnipresent to be a single being

AlthoughDoctor Whohas supplied very small square information on Mrs. Flood , it ’s pretty clear at this point that she is n’t just a even human being - if she is even human at all . Traversing all of prison term and blank space to beat the Doctor to the next companion is a big task , and one that could entail the existence of more than one variant of the character . It ’s one thing pop up up twice in mod - daytime London , buttheDoctor Whoseason 15 laggard reveal Mrs. Flood is also present in other locations and eras- and she look exactly the same years .

The Doctor ’s companions often precipitate into similar categories , but time of year 15 ’s new TARDIS rider is something the post - revival era has n’t seen .

So , this bring forth the possible action that Mrs. Flood is n’t beyond tailing the Doctor and his companion to witness at least some of their exploits . Because there are so manydifferent iteration of the Doctor littered throughout the timeline , Mrs. Flood ca n’t be in all those places at once . So , there would have to be legion Mrs. Floods to pull this off . Plus , not everyDoctor Whocompanion is from present - day Earth , so she would take to be peculiarly ubiquitous to keep up with her implied hobbyhorse / duty of being there when the Doctor ’s next companion first departs .

Why Mrs. Flood Might Be Stalking The Doctor’s Companions

Dobson’s character could be a future companion the Doctor hasn’t met yet

The very nature of the Doctor ’s lengthy timeline intend there are likely to be countless companion out there he has n’t yet been formally introduced to . So , one possibleness that explain why Mrs. Flood could be stalking the Doctor ’s companions because it ’s a part she once held herself . If Mrs. Flood is a former companion to the Doctor , it would report for her knowledge of the TARDIS in " The Church on Ruby Road , " and she may overleap the days she was youthful enough to keep up with the high - octane capers through infinite and clip .

She could have been a companion to a translation of the Doctor from before Divison wiped the Time Lord ’s memory out front of regenerating into the First Doctor .

So , Mrs. Flood could be endure vicariously through the companion by being present at the instant they leave Earth . Another theory is that she could have been a companion to a version of the Doctor from before Divison wiped the Time Lord ’s memory forward of revitalize into the First Doctor . Division had the Doctor bear out abominable acts that he now does n’t remember , but Mrs. Flood may be a former helper who wants to see how the Time Lord is endlessly redeeming himself without even really make out that he is . Frustratingly , onlyDoctor Whoseason 15 agree the existent solvent .
