Since Christmas Day, every Doctor Who<\/a> fan has been wondering who on Earth Anita Dobson\u2019s Mrs Flood<\/a> could be \u2013 and that includes the Doctor himself, Ncuti Gatwa<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Church on Ruby Road<\/a>, the epic Christmas Day special, introduced Gatwa\u2019s Fifteenth Doctor and Millie Gibson\u2019s<\/a> Ruby Sunday, and also blessed us with Dobson\u2019s mysterious Mrs Flood, with the final scene proving there\u2019s more to the character than meets the eye.<\/p>\n

With a wink to camera, she asked: \u201cNever seen a TARDIS before?\u201d proving she knows a lot more about Time Lords \u2013 and potentially about the Doctor \u2013 than we ever could have imagined.<\/p>\n

However, recently speaking to Doctor Who Magazine<\/a>, Gatwa revealed he has no idea who Mrs Flood actually is \u2013 but he does have a theory.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe must\u2019ve been a companion, right?\u201d he asked, with Gibson also making it clear that she doesn\u2019t have a clue either.<\/p>\n

Showrunner Russell T Davies has suggested that we won\u2019t find out the true identity of Mrs Flood for a long time, describing the mystery as a \u201cslow-burn<\/a>\u201c.<\/p>

Speaking on\u00a0Doctor Who: Unleashed<\/a>, showrunner Davies said: \u201cMrs Flood is a mysterious character. You will eventually find out more about her. She\u2019s a slow burn, Mrs Flood. Who is Mrs Flood? Come back and find out!\u201d<\/p>\n

Dobson, meanwhile, wasn\u2019t giving anything away, saying: \u201cToday what you see is a friendly neighbour. What the future may be, no one knows. Russell is writing it as we speak.\u201d<\/p>\n
