Doctor Who: 10 Mrs Flood Theories You NEED To Know
8. Her Front Door Leads To The Time Hotel
One of the biggest missed opportunities of Joy to the World was not having Mrs Flood cameo as a Time Hotel guest. She was literally carrying a suitcase the last time we saw her!
But maybe that didn't happen because there's a reveal here that's yet to come.
The theory that Mrs Flood is actually the Sandringham Hotel manager and Fifteenth Doctor's bestie Anita Benn gained traction pretty quickly in late 2024, and it's not hard to see why.
For one thing, Anita shares a name with Anita Dobson, and she looks pretty similar too. And Mrs Flood’s comment about having seen a TARDIS before could easily refer to all the Doctor’s police box trinkets! There's also the fact that Mrs Flood's front door – which was once teased as "significant" by Russell T Davies – is TARDIS blue, and could possibly be a portal to the Time Hotel itself.
Not to mention that aforementioned suitcase, which had all sorts of travel stickers all over it, which Mrs Flood could've easily acquired if she was involved with the Time Hotel.
It’s a nice bit of headcanon but is perhaps one of the more outlandish Mrs Flood theories out there!
We also have a video breaking down this theory in even greater detail, so go and check that out if you want to hear more.
