A former Doctor Who companion from the 1980s is returning to the time-travelling BBC adventure show for a guest appearance planned for 2024, it has been reported. Bonnie Langford played Mel Bush alongside the sixth and seventh Doctors Colin Baker and Sylvester McCoy from 1986 to 1987.
The actress, who also starred in EastEnders, was last seen featured in a Children in Need Doctor Who/EastEnders special called Dimensions in Time in 1993. And the 58-year-old is due to star with incoming Doctor Ncuti Gatwa as showrunner Russell T Davies returns to the long-running programme, the Mirror reports.
Langford, who found fame in Just William, has appeared in several audio versions of Doctor Who for Big Finish. And Russell T Davies, who was the original reboot producer in 2005, is known to be a fan of Langford.
