A recurring thing in Doctor Who this year

[vivdunstan]

Going slightly scatty with this, cos my husband isn't noticing this. I want to talk about it! I will put more details in spoiler space. This is just for up to the episodes that have aired 2023 onwards through to today, but if you've missed this recurring thing it may be new info. Which you either want to know or don't. So open the spoiler cut with care. Actress Susan Twist has recurred in 7 episodes so far. Starting with Wild Blue Yonder, where she was Isaac Newton's maid. Then the Christmas special (a heckler at Ruby's band's performance), Space Babies (a crew member in the video recap), Devil's Chord (tea lady), Boom (the ambulance AI), 73 Yards (the hiker near the start who tries to help Ruby with the mysterious lady), and Dot and Bubble (Lindy's mum). Martin is partially face blind, as he says it doesn't pay much attention to dialogue, and doesn't often recognise voices. So he hasn't registered this at all. I'm wondering how many of the general viewers are spotting or missing this. And of course how it will play out. I'll probably have to go onto the relevant bit of Gallifrey Base to chat about it there!

It's definitely a talking point of fandom. Next week Susan Twist plays 'The Portrait'...

Yup, and I'm expecting he won't recognise her there either :)
