Doctor Who Magazine 607 talks to Anita Dobson in its concluding part of access-all-areas coverage of the 2024 Doctor Who series finale.
When we last saw Dobson’s character Mrs. Flood, she was standing on a rooftop with a suitcase in a lavish white fur coat, cheerfully teasing that Ncuti Gatwa’s Fifteenth Doctor’s story “ends in absolute terror.”
Previous interviews with Dobson have yielded scant information about the curious Mrs Flood, who can pivot from sweet to menacing on a dime. This week, readers will find out whether this interview is more of the same or gives a few more clues.
DWM also speaks to main actors Ncuti Gatwa and Millie Gibson plus showrunner Russell T Davies and director Jamie Donoughue as part of its series finale coverage.
