Maddy was one of the elderly Rezzies - residents - of the Paradise Towers housing complex. She liked to know all the local gossip which she shared with neighbours Tabby and Tilda - unaware that they had turned to cannibalism to make ends meet. When they had been killed - dragged into their kitchen waste disposal system - the Chief Caretaker decided to stop Maddy from making a fuss by offering her their now empty apartment, which was bigger than hers.
When the Cleaning Machine began to massacre everyone they encountered, under the control of the Towers' architect Kroagnon, Maddy helped organise the surviving Rezzies and led them to the swimming pool area on an upper floor, where the Doctor was planning a fightback. She apologised to the Kangs for the behaviour of her fellow Rezzies towards them. She also suggested that her friends could use tablecloths and crocheted shawls to blind or trap the Cleaners.
Once Kroagnon had been destroyed, Maddy attended the memorial service for Pex - which united all the disparate groups living or working in the complex.
Played by: Judy Cornwell. Appearances: Paradise Towers (1987).
- Cornwell is probably best known for her role as Hyacinth Bucket's sister Daisy in BBC sitcom Keeping Up Appearances. Earlier in her career she had starred alongside Jon Pertwee in his long-running radio show The Navy Lark.
