Anita Dobson: EastEnders controversy over Angie Watts role, why she refused to return to soap, marriage to Brian May, and mysterious Doctor Who character


TV darling Anita Dobson is currently playing the mysterious Mrs Flood in BBC One's Doctor Who, but she made her name in EastEnders...

In the conclusion of the two-part finale (Saturday, June 22, 2024), The Doctor has lost, his ageless enemy reigns supreme, and a shadow is falling over creation… Nothing can stop the devastation – except, perhaps, one woman. Other notable roles include Margaret in The Rebel, Mirabelle Hubble in The Worst Witch, Grace Stephenson in The Long Call, and Bella in Murder, They Hope. When Robin Windsor was unable to dance for a week due to an injury, Anita rehearsed and performed the Cha-cha-cha and the Swing-a-Thon with Brendan Cole.
