I had suspected Anita Dobson’s Mrs Flood had a connection to the Rani in Doctor Who, only because I was trying to make a connection between the character’s last appearance in the 1993 charity special ‘Dimensions in Time’ (which, as far as I know, is canon) and Angie Watts, who, in EastEnders canon, was last seen in ghost form. You don’t focus that much energy on Albert Square and not wind up with some side-effects. But it was John C. Barstow, in reply to my theory on Mastodon, who predicted that she was the Rani in mid-April.
But I didn’t see this joke coming in the season 41 finalé, ‘The Reality War’, though Emsquared on Mastodon had hoped for it, and got their wish.
As to my other thoughts on the finalé and the brilliant Ncuti Gatwa, here’s a piece in Lucire.
