Mrs. Flood: “Never seen a TARDIS before?”
Doctor Who, The Church on Ruby Road
Okay, so first we have Mrs. Flood, Ruby's TARDIS-aware next door neighbour, breaking the fourth wall in the 2023 Doctor Who Christmas Special. Then there's actor Susan Twist, who has done one-off cameos in every episode of the new Doctor to date (plus one of the 60th Anniversary David Tennant episodes)*. And, AND, if that wasn't enough of a slap in the face, there's that musical number at the end of The Devil's Chord featuring the lyric, "There's always a Twist at the end."
Damn it, one of these women had better be the new Master.

*In case you somehow haven't picked up on this (for example, my wife suffers from face blindness, so it's not impossible), Ms. Twist appeared as Mrs. Merridew with Isaac Newton in Wild Blue Yonder, the third 60th anniversary special; shows up in the flashback audience in The Church on Ruby Road; was Comms Officer Gina Scalzi on the Space Babies space station; a canteen employee who dishes out spendy tea to the Doctor and Ruby at EMI/Abbey Road Studios in The Devil's Chord; the helpful Welsh hiker in 73 Yards; and, hard to miss, the face of the Ambulances in Boom.
