Doctor Who
Warning : Spoilers onward forDoctor Whoseason 15 , episode 1 , " The Robot Revolution . “Doctor Who ’s time of year 15 unfastener , " The Robot Revolution , " is mostly a self - contained story , but it chance time to break the 4th wall and reference previous episodes - and one of those meta nods happens right at the end and was very easy to miss . Thecomplex timeline in " The Robot Revolution"is an telling misdirection from the fact that Varada Sethu’sBelinda Chandra looks just like Mundy FlynnfromDoctor Whoseason 14 , episode 3 , " Boom . " Although Belinda ’s introduction does plow this phenomenon , it is n’t at the marrow of the tale .
Mundy Flynn is an Anglican Marine from the 51st century who is also portray by Varada Sethu . It ’s now been established that Sethu ’s presence as Belinda among theDoctor Whoseason 15 castisn’t just a matter of her play two unconnected grapheme . alternatively , Mundy is a verbatim genetic descendant of Belinda from 3,000 in the future . The thing of their shockingly identical faces tease something more than bare chance , but no more has yet been reveal about this imminent braid . disregarding , Fifteen breaks the 4th paries in " The Robot Revolution " to deepen the enigma .
Fifteen Points Right At Belinda & Says “Boom” At The End Of “The Robot Revolution”
The Doctor names out loud the episode in which he met Sethu’s OTHER Doctor Who character
Near theend ofDoctor Whoseason 15 , installment 1 , " The Robot Revolution,“the Fifteenth Doctor ( Ncuti Gatwa ) gleefully orient out there ’s no need to rush back to Earth by pointing out to Belinda that the TARDIS can journey in metre . WhenSethu ’s character confirms the reveal by ask , " This is a metre auto ? " , Fifteen points at her and replies with " Boom ! " The Doctor ’s response feel unobjectionable , as it could easily mean something like " Bingo ! " or " You know it ! " However , he ’s unknowingly demote the fourth wall by naming the episode in which he meet Sethu ’s otherDoctor Whocharacter .
The Doctor ’s connection to Belinda Chandra is fructify up to be one of season 15 ’s most central closed book , and Fifteen swing a big clew in the premiere .
I know this could seem like a stretch , but the factFifteen move on to recount the result of " Boom " to Belindaimmediately after name - dropping the sequence reasonably much confirms that the Doctor ’s gush is n’t a coincidence . Of of course , he does n’t recognize he ’s saying the name of aDoctor Whoepisode . To him , it ’s not an instalment at all , but a actual adventure he experienced with Millie Gibson ’s Ruby Sunday . Regardless , showrunner / writer Russell T. Davies allows Fifteen the semi - self - aware moment .
The Doctor’s Meta “Boom” Reference Continues Gatwa’s Era’s Habit Of Breaking The Fourth Wall
Davies has given incredible meta moments to characters other than the Doctor
Doctor of the Church Who ’s Disney era has founder the fourth wall several times , although this trend only really started to sound off in when Ncuti Gatwa remove over as the show ’s lead man in 2023 ’s " The Church on Ruby Road . " A pot of attention has been drawn to Mrs. Flood ( Anita Dobson ) instantly addressing the audience , butFifteen himself has also had other moments where he has apparently acknowledged he ’s in a TV show . So , his " Boom ! " second in " The Robot Revolution " is nothing novel . I ’d also be very surprised if it turned out to beDoctor Whoseason 15 ’s finale 4th - rampart respite .
