We have obtained ultraviolet and optical spectrophotometry for two PN in the SMC (N87, L302) and for six in the LMC (N28, N66, N97, N141, N201, N203). The data were obtained with the IUE (eight nebulae), the 3.9 m AAT (six nebulae) and the 1.9 m SAAO reflector (two nebulae). Nebular temperatures, densities and abundances are presented. The nebular continua were calculated and subtracted from the observed continua, allowing the central star energy distributions and hydrogen and helium Zanstra temperatures to be derived. Our results for the effective temperatures and absolute magnitudes and luminosities of the central stars are presented, including data on two Wolf-Rayet central stars (WC5 and WC8) and one Of central star.
