There's a link there somewhere...

I don't remember it, but according to this site (http://www.propaganda.com.au/catweazle), Geoffrey Bayldon is going to be playing Doctor Who in an audio CD release due out in May.

(I presume that's the TV show we're talking about...?)

I have never heard of it!

Very surprising im sure!

Mr Helicopter tut! tut! John played Worzel Gummage. I think you are trying to pretend to be too young for catweazle. I remember it, a fab programme. :D

I loved Catweazel. If I'm right, there was two series with two different lads.

It wsa the same guy who played the Crowman in Worsel Gummage that played Catweazel - I think that's what Mr H is thinking of ;)

You are quite right, of course. Jon Pertwee played Worzel Gummidge. Someone else played Catweazle - Geoffrey Bayldon?

I used to have an English teacher we used to call Catweazle - the resemblance was remarkable

You can buy Catweazle videos on ebay but they go for a lot of money - must be hard to get hold of.

And of course Geoffrey Bayldon now plays the Professor on 'Fort Boyard'.

my oh my this is a old thread lol anyway the catweasle box set was meant to come out ages ago come on whoevers bringing it out bring joy to us tv box set bores:clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:

He was a wizard from the middle ages who transports himself through time to 1970's England. He takes up refuge in a water tank in some woods and is befriended by a boy, he has a pet toad that he talks to.
Yes I'm old enough to remember this one and watched it quite a bit.

I vaguely remember it but never watched it - I think I saw a couple of episodes and then couldn't be arsed.

It was Geoffrey Bayldon who played the eponymous wizard.

And the toad was called "Touchwood".
I used to watch it as a kid, brilliant program. Word of warning though, never watch programs you loved as a kid. All the magic will have gone and you'll regret spoiling the memories.

I used to watch the show with mi kids.
the bloke who played cat was in Heartbeat a week or so back.
