The rumour mill has it that RTD is trying to get a UNIT spinoff into production and that Bonnie Langford will also be in that, if it happens, along with Gemma Redgrave and possibly others who have been seen associated with UNIT since the 2005 revival.
I think if the character of Mel is well written and Langford is well-directed, she could do well. She was sorely let down by lazy production last time round. Early on (in the Terror of the Vervoids segment of the Trial of a Time Lord) she showed a willingness to dive in, investigate, and generally show agency. But as soon as it hit the fan they reverted to having her just scream at the top of her lungs. I’m pretty sure they won’t go in for that now.
