Philip Madoc – 1934-2012<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n<\/div>\n

Welsh actor Philip Madoc has passed away. Madoc is best remembered as the lead in\u00a0the Welsh\u00a0TV series The Life & Times Of David Lloyd George<\/em>, and his appearances in British sci-fi series Doctor W<\/em>ho. Madoc appeared in two Patrick Troughton serials, The Krotons<\/em> (which I still have not seen) and The War Games<\/em> (my personal favorite Troughton-era story, as well as a cameo in the second Doctor Who<\/em> feature film (starring Peter Cushing). He later went on to appear in two Tom Baker era stories: The Brain of Morbius<\/em> and The Power Of Kroll<\/em>, as well as recording audio for commentaries on both Morbius<\/em> and War Games<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Among his other television work included parts in Dad’s Army, The Good Life, Porridge<\/em>, the pilot episode of Space: 1999<\/em>, and The Goodies<\/em>. His film work included roles in Operation Crossbow, The Quiller Memorandum<\/em>, and Operation Daybreak<\/em>.<\/p>\n
