An eccentric old man who lived in the Welsh countryside, where he kept bees and made honey. He got caught up in an alien incursion when the brutal Bannermen, led by Gavrok, arrived in the area in search of Delta, last but one of the Chimeron race. Goronwy gave shelter to the Doctor and his friends, and allowed him to set a trap for the Bannermen. This involved luring them into a storeroom where they were covered in honey, before being attacked by the bees. The Doctor had earlier noted that the Chimeron life-cycle was similar to that of terrestrial bees. Goronwy seemed to take all of the strange happenings in his stride.
Played by: Hugh Lloyd. Appearances: Delta and the Bannermen (1987).
- There is a popular fan theory that the enigmatic Goronwy might have been another Time Lord in self-imposed exile on Earth, like K'anpo in Planet of the Spiders, or Prof. Chronotis in Shada.
- One of Lloyd's last roles was as a Time Lord in the fan-made film "Devious", which concerns an intermediate Doctor between his Second and Third incarnations.
