- for its (in my opinion) appalling omission.

I vote to send Mr. Gaughan to Mogdred's Playpen.

Upon reading this post, I was compelled enough to e-mail The Independent themselves regarding the relevant omittance:

To whom it may concern,

A friend of mine recently showed me the obituary for actor John Woodnutt, which was published on January 31st, 2006:

http://news.independent.co.uk/people/ob ... 342104.ece

We were both displeased to notice that in the obituary, no mention was made of his roles as Merlin and Mogdred in the children's TV programme Knightmare, which he appeared in from 1987 to 1990.

Although one understands that the obituary was published over 18 months ago, it would be much appreciated if the online obituary could be amended to included Mr Woodnutt's role in this programme.

Many thanks for your time in reading this e-mail.

Yours sincerely,
James Aukett

If the online obituary is a copy of one published in the newspaper, it's unlikely that it will be altered. Having said that, a reply to your email may shed light on why Mr. Gaughan made that omission, either by choice or by accident.

Crud...O_O

He will be missed but will always be remembered.
