"McCoy, Aldred and Langford make an engaging TARDIS team with Bonnie particularly coming in for praise – she has completely thrown off the shackles of her TV persona and made Mel a real person with real motivations" Planet Mondas

"A well thought out villain from Eddie Robson with depth and detailed extraterrestrial feel" Host Productions

"‘The Blood Furnace’ does a great job of building relationships between our regular and rotating cast. For example, Mel knowing one of the guest character’s helps us invest in the story and understand that there’s a chance that Mel may leave, again.
