Flood Breaks a Long-Time ‘Doctor Who’ Tradition With Infinite Possible Explanations
At first, Mrs.
Flood comes off as a regular citizen.
The show follows the adventures of a Time Lord, “The Doctor,” who is able to regenerate, and the Doctor’s human friends. The Doctor and his companions journey through time and space in the TARDIS – a time-traveling ship shaped like a police box – saving the universe with a combination of wit, bravery, and kindness.

Perhaps we will never know how or why Mrs.
Flood knows what a T.A.R.D.I.S.
There is every chance it was merely a meta wink at the audience signaling a new era ofDoctor Whobeginning.
Hopefully, we willlearn more about Mrs.
