Re: Catweazle

I used to watch it..odd program, called the phone a "telling Bone"
I was probably too young to really enjoy it,and I've never seen it since..might try and get a DVD or two

That used to be my favourite programme as a child. Didn't he live in a disused water tower and call electricity, electrickery? I have a Catweazle book somewhere, shall have to dig it out.

Re: Catweazle

More than likely, everyone a bit scruffy back then was either called Steptoe or Catweazle .
My Dad had a workmate we all called Catweazle due to his scruffy beard

Folly foot and Black Beauty, they were two of my favourites. Follyfoot had Desmond Llewellynn in who was Q in James bond, he was the colonel. Wonder if they'll ever bring them back on DVD....................
