Baron99   775 #1 Posted October 22, 2019 Channel 81, Talking Pictures, is repeating Catweazle this weekend. Must get some of the grandkids to watch.  Wonder if it's stood the test of time? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Norbert   145 #3 Posted October 23, 2019 Just looked at C81, Talking Pictures from now until next Wednesday, no sign of Catweasel, but at least there was a new documentary about Lindsey Anderson (O lucky Man, If) and some Robin's Nest for old times sake.

SkyeEdge   10 #5 Posted October 23, 2019 Looking forward to this, I did watch it first time round but can't remember much.  TPTV is a fantastic channel 🙂 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

SkyeEdge   10 #7 Posted October 24, 2019 Sadly TPTV got hauled before OFCOM because of a single complaint so to cover themselves they have to put out these warnings, better safe than sorry but what a sad state of affairs!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
charliewag   19 #8 Posted October 24, 2019 As a youngster I enjoyed watching Catweazle. Robin's Nest wasn't a great comedy but the Irish waiter/pot washer delivered some good one liners. It also had the lovely Tessa Wyatt who was married to Tony Blackburn. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
