What's wrong with Paradise Towers you say? ;-)  Mel? ;-)
Personally while Battlefield was a bit "weird" in that it didn't seem to make
much sense when I first saw it I liked it.  In fact I pretty much liked most
of the episodes with Ace as the Doctor's companion, for example Remembrance
of the Daleks, and the one where they went to the circus and fought the Gods
of
Ragnarok(sp?).
I think Mel with her screaming big gob ruined a lot of the episodes simply
because of her big screaming gob. :-(  The writers can't be bothered writing
good ending?  No problem, let's get Mel to scream her stupid little head off:
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHH!!!!!!!!

I'm surprised that the Doctor didn't put his fist down her throat. ;-)  I
wonder if the actors playing the Doctor with her felt the same way? ;->

The site's "address" is:
http://www.iceworld.org/~mrogers/index.html
I've just been playing some of the versions of the Dr.Who theme used over the
years which I obtained from the above web site and I find it pretty amazing
that they're still popular after all these years!  No doubt I'll wear out my
sound card and my ears playing the Dr.Who theme from the "Trial of a Time
Lord"
season. ;-)
I also did a search for any UFO (the series) web sites, and was I surprised
o
find that there were quite a few!  The first one that I found and that led to
all the rest was:
http://www.cnw.com/~mmartin/ufo/
I tell you listening to the theme music of UFO brings back a lot of memories
for me of my youth growing up in England. :-)  There are other sound clips
(such as SID announcing its name, etc) not to mention text files, etc, etc,
also on this site.  BTW did you know (I assume this is true btw) that there
was
an attempt made to resurrect UFO and shoot new episodes in 1996?  The people
who wanted to make the new episodes asked Ed Bishop (he would have been
General
Straker) and he said yes.  They also asked Gerry Anderson and he gave his
blessings.  The only problem was that the financing didn't come through. :-(
Oh man, that would have been great to see new UFO episodes made!!
Bummer!!! :-/
Also, I found a Space:1999 web page at:
http://www.space1999.net/
Again, lots of good stuff such as sound clips (such as the theme to season
),
text files, other links, etc, etc.
I even found a Blake's 7 web page or two which was so-so I guess. :-)
