Also, just yesterday I was at the fabric store & saw the exact blue-polka fabric that Mel's outfit in 'Paradise Towers' was made of... and now part of me is actually contemplating cosplaying that heinous 80s monstrosity.
:lol: It would be a pretty tempting thing to do - very bright and recognisable!
I like Mel, too, despite everything. I think particularly in Delta & the Bannerman & Terror of the Vervoids, and then she's been nicely used in some of the audios. People just hated her because Bonnie Langford was such a known personality that some people couldn't see past that, and there was no real depth written for her to defy expectations with, but Mel is quite fun, really. (I adore how weird 80s Who can be, though, I really do! Even though some of it doesn't work out, I love some of the ideas and the strangeness they were going for, even as people were accusing it of being some tired old has-been of a show.)
