Angela Wynter and Anita Dobson joined the cast of the sci-fi drama for season 14, playing Ruby Sunday\u2019s feisty grandmother Cherry and mysterious neighbour Mrs Flood<\/a>, respectively.<\/p>\n Questions have been floating around the latter particularly, following an eyebrow-raising line at the end of last year\u2019s Christmas special (The Church on Ruby Road<\/a>), in which she appeared to break the fourth wall.<\/p>\n At the end of that adventure, as The Doctor and Ruby disappeared in the former\u2019s legendary ship, she asked viewers: \u201cNever seen a TARDIS before?\u201d<\/p>\n That naturally invites all kinds of theories about how exactly Mrs Flood is such a TARDIS expert \u2013 and is she a friend or foe to our intrepid heroes?<\/p> Davies suggested the latter in an image (see above) from The Legend of Ruby Sunday posted to his personal Instagram<\/a>, teasing that viewers will soon know more about the nosey neighbour\u2019s intentions.<\/p>\n He wrote: \u201cMrs Flood? In Cherry Sunday\u2019s bedroom? But\u2026 what, why, how?! LEAVE HER ALONE!!
