    That's our Michael Billington as "Woodland Man No. 2" in episode 10**
    "A Change of Mind" (1967) of "The Prisoner"?

    I didn't recognize him (shaven) but I see the end credits.

    small role as thug who attempts to bully No. 6 for being unmutual

    "The butcher with the sharpest knife has the warmest heart" — Number
    6, claiming to be quoting Number 2

    "Who is Number 1?" "You are,* Number 6"

    *OK, I interpolate the comma

    ** the series makes MORE sense with the episodes re-ordered as in the
    DVD set

    look again, that was Thomas Heathcote as Lobo(tomy) Man, also in at
    least 2 TOL (eg the sailor who led Onedin to the island of Santorin to
    collect pumice, just before the volcano erupted — he presumably got
    killed by rock avalanche)

    casting notes remind me, Diana Rigg era "The Avengers", one episode
    featured TWO actors playing the same character PAIR they did in TOL
    about the Jonah they wanted to throw overboard

    If you'd like to see a shaven Michael Billington in a larger role, then 'UFO' is a good series. He played Colonel Paul Foster. The series is available on Netflix, but sadly not for streaming; you have to select the DVDs.

    The UFO series is being uploaded to Rareshare.me.

    Michael Billington appeared in these before he was in Onedin line I think.

    Anyway nice to see him in another role, he is introduced in ep 04.

    I've looked at these. Very good quality and small files so easy to download.
    I use the free VLC player for these (
    http://www.videolan.org/vlc/index.html )

    Paul Foster played by Michael Billington is on disc 2 episode 4, and is in
    many of the other episodes as one of the main characters.

    Quite enjoying a bit of 'vintage' sci-fi not seen these for years.

    Bill.
