  • Just realised that Catweazle was missed!!??

    Because he's an 11th century wizard thrown forward in time, he thinks that modern inventions are magic. I still like the idea of calling electricity "elek-trickery" and the telephone the " telling-bone" Smile

  • I think he went on to become ‘The Crowman’ in Worzel Gummidge’. The young girl  in Worzel  was Charlotte Coleman who went on to be Marmalade Atkins and then in 4 Weddings.

    I loved Rentaghost, Madam Popov is still going strong in Corrie.
