Talk:Mel Bush

Changing 1986 to 1989
According to the Past Doctor Adventures book Business Unusual, the Sixth Doctor had been on Earth in 1989 and after defeating The Master he met Mel.


 * I've changed it to 20th century to reflect the uncertain canonicity of the source. --khaosworks (talk • contribs) 01:19, 10 December 2005 (UTC)

List of appearances
Do we want to include the season listing in non-television appearances or not? I suppose that since the Big Finish audio dramas are explicitly set in-between television stories, it could be OK, but the novels are a messier matter, and Head Games and Heritage are both set after Mel's travels with the Doctor are over anyway. I think that if we start down this road it would be pretty easy to head into original research territory. The placement of each story within the Doctor Who canon can be addressed at each novel or audio's page, anyway.

Also, if we're going to list comic stories and short stories, it would be good to include Doctor Who Magazine issue numbers and collection titles, respectively, so that readers are able to find the stories if they want to. —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 23:22, 24 July 2006 (UTC)


 * (I've taken care of the comic and short story sources, and removed the season tags from everything except the television stories and the audios.) —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 00:07, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

i was just looking at the list  of audio plays she appears in... can i ask what type of ordering system is been used in the list. i dont think it is alphabetical chronological or  by date? nor do they seem to be published acording to bigfinish season numbers. can anyone explain this? what would be the best to use.. does wikipedia have a standard for such matters--Dr noire (talk) 21:16, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

Meeting the Doctor
Where is it said in a TV story that the Doctor takes Mel back to his future after Trial of a Time Lord and then meets her again for the "first" time? I know that's the explanation used by the books, but is it ever explained canonically?


 * No it is only ever stated in the Target novel and Business Unusual. However, as this is the time it's discussed I think it's important to note. --Matt (talk) 21:25, 20 January 2009 (UTC)

Vegetarian
When is Mel revealed to be vegetarian canonically?Andral (talk) 12:43, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

Meeting the Doctor
In the documentaries released on the Trial of a Time Lord DVDs, there's a close-up of a document written by Eric Saward about how Mel met the Doctor. Should that go in the article? I know it's not canon, but I think it'd be interesting to at least know how Saward intended for them to meet up. Davhorn (talk) 22:29, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

Mel (Doctor Who character) → Mel Bush – Although I agree with using Mel rather than Melanie per WP:COMMONNAME, the surname Bush was used in promo for the show and so its official status is not disputed. Mel Bush is currently a disambig for two people, this Mel and another who doesn't have her own page. U-Mos (talk) 19:55, 18 August 2011 (UTC) Move and delete the disambig page. We don't create disambig for potential articles, and we don't create them when there are only two topics (a note at the top of each article works better) D O N D E groovily   Talk to me  05:15, 22 August 2011 (UTC)
