Mrs Flood: Difference between revisions

Mrs '''Flood''' was a neighbour of [[Ruby Sunday|Ruby]], [[Carla Sunday|Carla]] and [[Cherry Sunday]]. While she got along with the [[Sunday family]], Mrs Flood had a somewhat antagonistic relationship with her neighbour [[Abdul (The Church on Ruby Road)|Abdul]], who she believed was watching her.  

During the [[1970s]], Mrs Flood saw [[police box]]es on the streets of [[London]] for the final time.

Mrs Flood woke up on [[24 December]] [[2023]] to find [[The Doctor's TARDIS|a police box]] on the pavement outside [[4 Minto Road|her home]], which she believed was Abdul's doing, despite him denying it. The two briefly greeted [[Ruby Sunday]] as she arrived home with groceries. Sometime later, while [[Cracked timeline (The Church on Ruby Road)|the timeline was cracked]], Mrs Flood witnessed the [[Fifteenth Doctor]] run out of the [[Sundays' home|Sunday family's flat]] and into the box, which disappeared before her eyes. The sight of it disappearing caused her to drop her groceries in shock, as she realised it was a [[TARDIS]].

When the Doctor returned to the Sundays' flat, Mrs Flood warmly [[waving|waved]] at him, watching him once again disappear into the TARDIS. When he returned again, she observed as he hesitantly approached the Sundays' front door. Grabbing his attention, she remarked he seemed to be a "busy man" with his "box of tricks", but noted his evident sadness. The Doctor remarked he was worried he was bad luck for the Sundays, and bid her a Merry Christmas. He declined to give his name, claiming he was just passing by, to which Mrs Flood told him to take care as he re-entered his TARDIS. Shortly afterwards, Ruby emerged and asked if Mrs Flood saw where the Doctor went, to which she encouraged her to enter the TARDIS and wished her luck as she set off with the Doctor. Abdul ran out into the street, marvelling at the TARDIS as it dematerialised, but Mrs Flood simply gave him a kiss on the cheek and bid him a Merry Christmas. [[Fourth wall|Looking ahead]], she wryly remarked, ''"Never seen a TARDIS before?"'', and winked at her audience. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Church on Ruby Road (TV story)}}) According to another account, however, she merely whispered it to herself.

In a [[Alternate timeline (73 Yards)|timeline]] caused by the Doctor stepping on a [[fairy circle]] in [[2024]] and vanishing, Mrs Flood talked to Ruby while she and Carla were conducting an experiment to try and speak to the [[The Woman (73 Yards)|mysterious woman]] who had been following Ruby around ever since. Mrs Flood noted that Ruby was standing in the middle of the street, talking to her mother on her [[mobile phone]] at strangely close quarters. When Ruby reacted, Flood stated it had nothing to do with her before descending the stairs into her basement. ([[TV]]: {{cs|73 Yards (TV story)}})
