The Doctor and Melanie ride Melanie's motorcycle
Summary Doctor Who season 14 rehabilitated a 1980s companion who was not well-received when she first appeared. The classic era of Doctor Who had several companions that audiences didn't warm to, especially during its final decade. Most companions during the show's first 50 years were female, and some did little more than scream and act scared, though the series improved its depiction of women by the end of its original run.

Mel originally traveled with both the Sixth and Seventh Doctors and was the classic series' next-to-last companion.
What Went Wrong With Bonnie Langford's Mel In Doctor Who's Classic Series The Character's Lack of Depth Was Characteristic of The Colin Baker Era The problems with Melanie's original character went deeper than her tendency toward screaming and her need to offer the Doctor annoying advice. These were symptoms of a larger issue: her character was underdeveloped for plot purposes during "Trial of a Time Lord" and was never fully fleshed out afterward.
