Varada's character's full name is Mundy Flynn, you hear it when James dies

Before playing Adeola Freema Agyeman had auditioned for a part in The Christmas Invasion, was considered, but they went with somebody else. I also didn't register that the actor play8ing Mundy was the one who had been announced as a future companion.

i hope varada s new character (belinda)is an ancestor of mundy or maybe is an alien with the same face as mundy for some reason,i hope russell has an original idea for varada sethu reappearing as a different character

The actress playing the second Romana played a character that the first Romana met (Princess Astra - The Armageddon Factor) and then decided to regenerate into (I mean decided to regenerate into a form identical to Astra - somehow Romana could control her regenerations). I’ve slightly been wondering if this is what might happen. I think I read somewhere that Mundy’s story is finished. But this is probably a half-baked theory!

Mundy is Mundy Flynn in "Boom", but maybe, if she's somehow the same character that turns up in S2, she takes on Mundy as a surname, if that's what you mean? I'm leaning towards the S2 character being a different character entirely. Maybe they'll make her look different enough, they won't need an explanation for the likeness, I dunno.

I think she’s going to be a different character in season 2, but with a throwaway line to explain it

I don't know why no one is talking about the fact that the first companion is Ruby Sunday, and the next companion has a character called Mundy. What comes after Sunday? Mundy. But not even WhoCulture noticed.

Classic Who had returning actors playing different characters. Peter Purves, played an American tourist in part 1 of "The Chase". Then he was cast as Stephen. Jacqueline Hill even returned in Meglos.

Caecilius is pronounced like "Kai-silly-iss"

I genuinely am deciding to trust RTD this one time when he said she will not be coming back as Mundy.. I don't know if that's me being stupid but I just thought he was being honest in the commentary for the boom episode🤣

Go the Freeman/Gillan route.

They do this a lot in Casualty too 😄

Never heard of this woman, so I had no hope of "recognising" her😂😂😂 She looked a lot older in Boom. Her character arc was the weakest part of the episode, so I hope it's not the same character.

I hope it’s just the same character returning, because the clunky and unnecessary explanations for repeat castings in NuWho annoy me. Especially as they don’t apply it to the numerous background artists you see in multiple episodes. The irony is the one time it really needed explaining (14th Doctor),it was fumbled and confused. The classic series never felt the need to ‘explain’ why Peter Miles, Philip Madoc and Michael Wisher for example appeared multiple times across time and space.
