Bonnie Langford, the child star turned iconic actress, has been teasing fans with the possibility of her character returning to Doctor Who once again in the future. After making her debut as companion Mel Bush in 1986, she went on to star alongside various incarnations of the beloved Time Lord, including the Sixth Doctor played by Colin Baker, the most recent Fifteenth Doctor played by Ncuti Gatwa. In a recent interview with The Agency, Bonnie reflected on her almost 40-year journey playing Mel and the potential for her character to make another comeback.
Bonnie's most recent appearance in the series was in the special episode "Empire of Death" last month, where she reprised her role as Mel who had been working with the military organization UNIT as a computer programmer. When asked about the possibility of Mel returning once again, Bonnie remained cryptic but hopeful, saying "there's ends, there's beginnings. Who knows?" She also emphasized how unique it is to work on a show where multiple actors portray the same character, yet each version is so different and fresh.
Reflecting on her time on the show, Bonnie shared that one of her favorite memories was being present for the historic bi-generation of the Doctor, when David Tennant's Doctor regenerated and revealed Ncuti as his successor. She described the moment as a "great feeling of joy and love" and felt honored to be a part of it.
As for whether she would like to see Mel return in the future, Bonnie playfully left it up to the fans, saying "Would you like to see Mel return to Doctor Who again in the future? Comment now!" With her most recent appearance being such a positive experience, Bonnie expressed her gratitude for having been a part of the show. She also noted that if it weren't for her time on the original series, she wouldn't have had the opportunity to be a part of the current one.
Doctor Who fans can catch Bonnie's appearances on the show on BBC iPlayer.
