    A good innings, and a goodly part of my childhood. RIP Catweazle/Crowman.

        There are two ways to be fooled, one is to believe what isn't true, the other is to refuse to believe that which is true.

          I watched the first series of Catweazel a few years ago on DVD and I have to say, being set mostly on a farm it hasn't aged at all. Still very funny even though I am a leetle bit more grown up than the first time round. At least with a DVD I didn't have to wait for a load of boring sports and Dickie Davis to finish blathering before I could watch it.

                I feel sure that Catweazle (at least the first series) was shown on Sundays.

                  I shouldn't be surprised, Rob. World of Sport seemed to drag on forever.

                      Catweazle

                      I just watched a few Catweazle snippets on YouTube. It brought back memories. Sad when bits of your childhood end.
