Doctor Who fans are left in hysterics as villain Susan Triad recreates Theresa May’s iconic viral dance ahead of shocking twist
Doctor Who fans made a hilarious parallel between Susan ‘Sue’ Triad and Theresa May during Saturday’s episode of the sci-fi series.
In a scene in the latest episode, titled The Legend Of Ruby Sunday, Sue, played by Susan Twist, took to the stage and performed a crazy jig.
Fans were quick to notice the similarity to Theresa’s robot dancing in 2018, on stage for her keynote speech at the Conservative Party’s annual conference.
In the seventh episode of the fourteenth series, tech billionaire Sue planned to release free software to the world through her company Triad Technology, but in a shocking twist, the evil Sutekh was revealed to be the true mastermind.
Tickled fans rushed to X, formerly Twitter, writing: ‘#DoctorWho #DoctorWhoSpoilers I know a reference when I see it!’;
