| '''Bonita Melody Lysette "Bonnie" Langford''' (born [[22nd July]], [[1964]]) appeared as the Doctor's companion [[Melanie Bush|Mel]], debuting in "[[Terror of the Vervoids]]," one of the stories in "[[The Trial of a Time Lord]]," and departing at the conclusion of "[[Dragonfire (TV story)|Dragonfire]].". She first achieved fame as a child actor, starring in the [[television]] series ''Just William'' and the film ''Bugsy Malone''.

| |
|
| Langford was born at [[Hampton Court]], [[Surrey]]. She married fellow actor Paul Grunert in [[1995]] and has one daughter (born [[2000]]).
| | PWNED!!!! |
|

|
| Her stage work includes ''Annie'', ''Peter Pan: The Musical'', ''Cats'' and ''The Pirates of Penzance''. Bonnie was a regular guest ([[2003]]-[[2005]]) on Sandi Toksvig's weekday lunchtime show on LBC radio and occasionally deputised when Sandi was ill or on holiday. Langford had just completed a run in ''Peter Pan'' at the time she was announced as [[the Doctor]]'s newest companion, and a publicity photo was passed round of Langford in costume as Peter and [[Colin Baker]] in costume as the Doctor, "flying" together on wires.
| | HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! |
|
| |
|
| She has received a fair amount of abuse over her career, as she has been widely perceived as an overly perky youth. (Some ''[[Doctor Who]]'' fans have voiced similar complaints about the character of Mel.) [[Noel Coward]] reportedly made the comment, after seeing a play with the young Bonnie Langford in it in which a horse also defecated on the stage, "If they had shoved the child's head up the horse's arse they would have solved two problems at once."
