Anita Dobson teases explosive Doctor Who twist as iconic villain returns to BBC show


Secrets are on the bring of exposure in the two-part Doctor Who finale and Anita Dobson has confirmed suspicions that her character, Mrs Flood, isn't as innocent as she seems.

In the latest series, Anita portrays the seemingly gentle Mrs Flood, but beneath her kind façade lurks the Rani, a formidable and unscrupulous Time Lady. Kate, who sadly passed away from ovarian cancer in 2014, has managed to leave a lasting legacy within the Doctor Who community, touching hearts including that of Russell T. Davies. And she won't be doing it alone; Anita will be accompanied by'Bend It Like Beckham' star Archie Panjabi, in what's shaping up to be a scene for the ages with both actors portraying the Rani in a mesmerising cross-generational sequence.
