    The Rani — and a Rani to boot.

    Okay, but what’s the fandom going to latch onto when they catch speculation fever, now that “X is the Rani” is off the table?

    Real talk: I only know the Rani by reputation/from internet research, and would appreciate any Classic Who recommendations.

      Recommendations for the Rani are easy if we stick with the TV show: any serial with her name in it. That’s “Mark of the Rani” (1985) or “Time and the Rani” (1987).

      Who’s going to be the new butt of fandom guessery jokes is harder, but my guess is going to be the Meddling Monk/Nun.

        I’m actually halfway through “Mark of the Rani” right now. It’s a fairly breezy 1½ hour historical since it’s one of the sixth Doctor two-parters. It has Luddites, the Master, and a no nonsense introduction to the Rani.
