In television, Badland appeared in the 2005 version of Doctor Who as Margaret Blaine, a politician who is in fact a flatulent alien Slitheen, and whose arc is followed across three episodes. Other television credits include guest parts on the Agatha Christie series Poirot and Miss Marple, Judge John Deed, Coronation Street (as Thelma Clegg), and The Worst Witch (recurring as the tastefully named Mrs. Tapioca). In 2005, she joined the cast of the long-running radio soap opera The Archers as Hazel Wooley, the errant, conniving daughter of increasingly demented old millionaire Jack Wooley.
