Sabalom and Mel... Did they have a thing going on?

Guy Gardener

One second she's the Doctor's loyal companion, but the next she's running off with a greasy Delboy who 5 minutes earlier sold his entire crew into slavery for a bit of folding. That doesn't sound safe at all unless she had a little leverage like Glitz wanted to spend hours and hours kissing her?

(Ditto for Nyssa and the 8 foot tall Goat-man.)

There must have been some reason Sabalom didn't slit her open and sell the little red-heads pretty pink organs on the blackmarket if she planned on being a good girl, keeping her legs shut?

Maybe he cut her hair off and sold it for a fortune to a wig-making company?
 
Definitely one of the worst companion exits ever...even Leela made a trifle more sense!
 
I'd like to think that Mel had more class than that. :eek:

Sorry, but I think she was the exact opposite of "class" ... shrill, annoying, moronic, yes .. but Mel having class? I don't think so.

Compared to Glitz? :cardie: In any event we know next to nothing about her since she wasn't properly introduced on theshow as a companion. All we know about her is that she's a
computer programmer from Pease Pottage.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melanie_Bush

Mel is a computer programmer from the 20th century who comes from the village of Pease Pottage in West Sussex, England. She has an eidetic memory, and a cheery, almost perky personality. She greets most situations with a warm smile and good humour, and was an optimist whose views extend to believing the best of people's natures, but can also scream with the best of them. She is a health enthusiast and a vegetarian, often encouraging the slightly portly Sixth Doctor to exercise more. She is present (albeit unconscious at the time) when the Sixth Doctor regenerates into his seventh incarnation, and continues to travel with him.

Yeah she can scream but I wouldn't say she's not without some class especially next to Glitz who's like the Doctor Who version of Harry Mudd.
