Catweazle's Back - Talking Pictures (C81)

[Baron99 775]

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?

Wasn't he a wrestler?

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.

There was a wrestler called Catweazle his real name was Gary Cooper and  just adopted the name from the TV show.

Looking forward to this, I did watch it first time round but can't remember much.   TPTV is a fantastic channel 🙂

There's some great programme on there, I don't recall from the first time round.  Possibly never shown in the Yorkshire TV area.  I like British detective series 'Gideon's Way',  starring Jonh Gregson. 

 

It was on last night & TPTV always put a warning / disclaimer out beforehand stating some of the language, attitudes & view reflect the views of the time, late 1950's / early 1960's - fair enough, times have changed but really makes me laugh is the warning about violence. 

 

Are we considered more sensitive now than back in 1950's / 60's?  I don't think so but I suppose there's always someone ready to complain.

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!!

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.
