While at drama school, he was spotted by
Graham Chapman of
Monty Python, which eventually landed Nedwell the role of Doctor Duncan Waring in the hugely popular British television comedy series
Doctor in the House (1969–70), which Chapman was a co-writer on. Although most of his roles were designed for television, apart from the "Doctor" series, his appearances included
Vault of Horror (1973) – along with his "Doctor" co-star
Geoffrey Davies –
Stand Up, Virgin Soldiers (1977),
The Shillingbury Blowers (1980),
The Zany Adventures of Robin Hood (1984) and
Cluedo (1990). In 1982, Nedwell was in a
BFI health and safety film, produced at
Abbey National Building Society in
Lewisham, called
Get Well Soon. Nedwell's last television role was in
Doctor at the Top, which was also the last of the Doctor series'; he became known later in his career for his performances on stage. He appeared in the
West End in
Brigadoon in 1989, and in 1992, played Max Detweiler in a British tour of
The Sound of Music, a production that was also staged at
Sadler's Wells. == Personal life ==
