Doctor Who’s Anita Dobson teases Mrs Flood’s mindset ahead of season 15
“She really needs to have her wits about her now.”
Doctor Who star Anita Dobson has teased Mrs Flood’s “focused” mindset ahead of her return in season 15.
The actor made her debut as the mysterious character, the neighbour of Ruby Sunday (Millie Gibson), in the 2023 Christmas special, and raised was suspicious from the off.
She returned in season 14, revealing a few more clues about her backstory – but her identity remains unclear.
Speaking exclusively to RadioTimes.com at the Radio Times Covers Party, Dobson teased what fans can expect from the character in the upcoming season, explaining: “I think she realises that things are coming to a head and she really needs to have her wits about her now. And so she’s beetling around doing what she does, but now with purpose because she knows that the future is holding some kind of finale if you like.”
She continued: “So yeah, I think she’s really focused even though she’s ditzy, she’s focused. She knows what’s going on.”
