Bonnie Langford has confirmed plans to release a book featuring her Doctor Who character Mel Bush.
The actress first appeared in the beloved sci-fi show in 1986, serving as a companion to the Sixth and Seven Doctors, returning to the role in 2022, with Mel having now joined the team at UNIT.
In what will mark her debut novel, Langford has penned a murder-mystery adventure called Doctor Who: Death in the Stars.
A synopsis for the book reads: "When young Mel's business partner Sabalom Glitz embarks on yet another 'get rich quick' scheme, it marks the start of an epic, death-defying murder-mystery in space.
"After barely escaping the snares of a murderous galactic cult, Mel searches for fellow survivors in a nearby spaceship graveyard – while Glitz looks to fill his pockets. But the discovery of a spaceship with its crew in suspended animation and incredible secrets on board leaves the duo stranded with no way off.
"Mel revives the crew – and then the murders start. Murders that cannot possibly have been committed by any of the crewmembers. In fact, there are only two realistic suspects – Glitz and Mel themselves..."
Doctor Who: Death in the Stars is released on August 22.
