B7 RS4, change gear clutch goes very light then doesn't seem to engage at all (pushing clutch down doesn't drop revs at all and can't select any gear).

After a while seems to return but then lots of juddering if I accelerate in any gear (including 6th at 60mph). Even worse when pulling away in 1st, impossible to do a smooth pull away plus lots of revs needed.

No slipping at all. Was driving completely normally prior to this, although did have a similar issue with clutch 3 weeks ago (pedal went 'limp' and couldn't select any gear, but this then rectified itself 5 minutes later and car has been fine since (no juddering on that occasion either).

Is my clutch shot?

From your description it sounds like it could be an issue with the clutch MC or slave to me (hydraulics) rather than clutch knackered.

It could be low fluid level - have you checked it?

Fluid levels are fine.

It's booked in for a service on Tuesday, so I'll let them take a look.
