John Woodnutt who played Merlin and Mogdred will be on Doctor Who On UK Gold now and again at 7pm on UK Gold +1

He may possibly be on again at the same time tomorrow.

i can confirm that the 2nd part of the doctor who episode featuring John Woodnutt will be tomorrow at the same time 6pm on UK GOLD and 7pm on UK GOLD +1

Which story is that?  I know I saw him in Terror of the Zygons (Tom Baker era) as a Scottish laird.

OK, I saw it last night and it was quite good (always a treat to have a story featuring the Master!)

Who did John Woodnutt play?

he was in 2 stories of Doctor Who in the Tom Baker ERA. Terror of the Zygons and the Keeper of Traken he played a Character called Seron i Have the Keeper of Traken on video.

The Keeper of Traken is a great story. Last time I watched it I liked it a lot, although I didn't look out for JW. I read a review somewhere that said he was very believable in at least that story, however. No spellcasting painfully slowly to hog screen time, or anything like that.

just been told he was in a doctor who story called Frontier in Space in the Jon Pertwee era but cant remember who he played and he was the  guy with the glasses  in the story Spearhead From Space (Jon Pertwee's 1st Dr Who Story).

Jon Woodnutt has appeared in 4  Dr Who stories:

Spearhead from Space as 'Hibbert' in 1970
Frontier in Space as Draconian leader 1973
Terror of the Zygons as Broton and Duke, 1975
Keeper of Traken as Serron (sp?) in 1981


Hope that helped.

Just to add to the Dr Who/Knightmare topic, it may be of interest to people that Jon Woodnutt is not the only KM star to have something to do with the renogade Time Lord.

Clifford Norgate lends his voice to:

The Horns of Nimon (1979) as the voice of the Nimon
The Leisure Hive (1980) as the Generators Voice

Also, Reynar Burton (Skarkill and Julius Sacramonger), as well as co-creating the Rocky Horror Picture Show, was wed to Katy Manning, who was Third Doctor Jon Pertwees helper from 71-73.

So there :-)

cheers for giving me all that info, i didnt kno that Cliff Norgate was in the leisure hive but i knew he was in the horns of nimon.
as 4 rayner Bourton i never seriously new he was married 2 katy manning

Must go with the name Skarkill because I always had a crush on Jo Gant (Katty Manning).

There is at least one other crossover couple: Erin Geraghty, a.k.a. Mistress Goody in Series 4, is married to Paul Lavers, who played Farrah in Fourth Doctor adventure The Androids Of Tara (1978). To further the coincidence, the serial featured location filming at Leeds Castle - as did Knightmare Series 4.

just found an old copy of bread series 5 episode 1 at the start of the episode when billy boswell is seeing his solicitor and he is played by no other than john woodnutt. and i heard he was in episode 1 series 3 of bread as the priest near the end of the episode
