Neither of them are bad, but they could be so much better. For me Paradise Towers was the episode that killed Mel - I accidentally saw Delta and the Bannermen first, and thought she was good. And in Paradise Towers she joins the UnHoly trinity of Companions: Peri, Dodo and Mel - poor beginnings, poor ends, poor characterisation and poor development. plus a very shrill voice. All the time she was with the Rezzies, trying to get us to feel worried for Mel and the fact she's about to be put in a cassarole, all I could think was "Don't Run off" "Stranger Danger". How long has she been travelling with the Doctor? Long enough, surely to realise that not everybody in the universe wants to ply you with scones all day long, surely. surely.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
