Overview

  • The latest episode of Doctor Who revealed Mrs Flood as The Rani, a classic villain from 1985, marking her first return since the series revival in 2005.
  • The Rani has bi-generated into two incarnations, portrayed by Anita Dobson and Archie Panjabi, representing one part of the 'Unholy Trinity' of villains.
  • Showrunner Russell T Davies confirmed that the third member of the Trinity is a new villain, described as 'lying in wait, exactly 160 years away.'
  • Fans initially speculated Jonah Hauer-King's Conrad would complete the Trinity, but Davies clarified that the two Ranis count as a single entity.
  • The two-part finale, starting May 24, will feature the Rani's 'most terrifying experiment yet,' as the Doctor faces enemies old and new.
