(WARNING! THIS MIGHT BE SPOILERS. MAYBE. I’M NOT ENTIRELY SURE. WELL YOU CAN’T REALLY DO THIS POLL IF YOU HAVEN’T WATCHED SEASON ONE/ SERIES FOURTEEN/ SEASON FORTY. SO. YEAH.)
A pretty simple question, just pick your favourite role played by Susan Twist in the second reign of HRH RTD.
Mrs Merridew (Wild Blue Yonder)
Welly Woman (The Church on Ruby Road)
Gina Scalzi (Space Babies)
Canteen Lady (The Devil’s Chord)
Ambulance (Boom)
Hiker (73 Yards)
Penny Pepper-Bean (Dot and Bubble)
The Duchess’s Mother (?) (I can’t remember) (Oh, and the ep is Rogue)
That weird alien (The Legend of Ruby Sunday)
That other weird alien (The Legend of Ruby Sunday)
Susan Triad (The Legend of Ruby Sunday/ Empire of Death)

(If you clicked on this thinking it would be best plot twists, then ha ha!)
I nearly voted for the the Hiker but ultimately it has to be Susan Triad, doesn’t it? She’s so good in the role of a woman who is actually just a really nice person.
I would vote Triad if I had a second vote, and if we get any more of her she absolutely will be, but the Hiker is just really fun. It’s a nice character, and a fun interaction with her and Ruby realizing she recognises her, but that doesn’t take away from that story at all and she does a great job at such a pivotal part of that story
This is honestly what I thought, so you fooled me!
Anyway, my two favourites are the Ambulance and Triad, so I went with the latter because it’s a bigger role and a proper one. The Hiker is also a fun one.
Susan Triad. She just seems like a lovely woman (and IMO, a far more interesting character than the bland Kate Stewart).
Once RTD2 finishes, I hope we get a Susan Twist Big Finish box set about various Susans/Sutekh messengers dotted across times and places, because I’d preorder that straight away.
