What can be said about Love & Monsters that hasn't been said already?

This Doctor-lite story is notorious for so many reasons, and now here's another one to add to the list.

When we first meet Victor Kennedy - aka the fearsome Abzorbaloff - he breaks up a meeting of the London Investigation 'N'Detective Agency (LINDA for short) and says that he can help them find the Doctor.

It's in this scene where we discover a secret member of the group, hanging around in the back of the shot.

During Kennedy's introduction, to the far left of the screen, a woman can be seen standing in direct view of the camera. Just... chilling. Without even trying to hide. Pretty unusual!

Clearly this person got a little too complacent with their positioning, and nobody else on-set noticed.

Still, at least we can have some fun with an in-universe explanation for this. Is it a future incarnation of the Doctor who's gone back in time for a laugh? A random civilian who would later get sucked into the Abzorbaloff's armpit? Oh, the possibilities.
