Poor old Mary Whitehouse. I wouldn't class her as a villain, she did enjoy the show after watching it for the first time!

Thats True.

But she was silly to give an oppinion on something she had never seen. She should have just said to the reporter.

Too true, Skarky. MW's problem in my experience (that's an in-joke, folks. Y'know as in "Mary Whitehouse Experi-..." >sigh!< Never mind) was that she was reactionary as well as self-righteous. Still let's be fair to her, she did apologise once she'd actually tried WATCHING the programme. I just wish more of the so-called moral guardians of the media would realise that an informed opinion is worth a lot more than "sanitised" programme content.

I'd pick Mogdred. To be honest, I think any of those early season villains could have got really tiresome if overused, and since Mogdred was most-used, he naturally comes off badly in the cliche respect. I do think John Woodnutt played Mogga so much better than he played Merlin, although on the occasions where he does get to spellcast, he still does it incredibly slowly. I always associate him with that "Mogdred's Little Playpens" scene, which I still find just a bit scary, and was definitely frightened by when I first watched it. Yes, the pledging stuff was tepid, although I always rather enjoyed at least the scenes on the collapsing bridge.

I think I would have tired of Morghanna very quickly. Her dialogue was pretty bad too, especially the bit about "My delight lies on the dark side". Very dire, in my opinion. And I always associate Malice with that strange scene when she's disguised and looking for that "leather bound book", which is all a bit silly. Her disguise was almost as bad as some of Hordriss' efforts.

I am going to agree with you GG, Mogdred is my favourite early series Villain and I think with all his kills and scary moments then it's not surprising we all remember him as such a spook.

Actually, how many did Mogdred kill directly? I can only think of two off the top of my head.

And I still say it was Woodnutt who made the role so scary, not Mogdred himself.

Well good character, good actor. I meant Woodnutt seeing as he played Mogdred, same person if you see what I mean.  :)
