We\u2019re all about the mysterious mature women in Doctor Who<\/a> this season.<\/p>\n

No, we aren\u2019t just talking about the iconic Cherry Sunday<\/a> (Angela Wynter) waiting for her tea, but the likes of Susan Twist in her many, many roles<\/a> and, of course, the fourth-wall-breaking Mrs Flood, played by EastEnders<\/a> icon Anita Dobson<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Mrs Flood is the next-door neighbour of Ruby Sunday and her family, and seems like a sweet and innocuous lady \u2013 until the credits scene of the Christmas special The Church on Ruby Road<\/a>, when she turns to the camera and says: \u201cNever seen a TARDIS before?\u201d<\/p>\n

We then got a smile and a wink from the mysterious Mrs Flood to roll into the rest of the credits.<\/p>\n

Speaking on\u00a0 Doctor Who: Unleashed<\/a> at Christmas, 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, added: \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

So, just who is Mrs Flood? RadioTimes.com<\/a> has round-up all the theories about the mystery character.<\/p>\n
