Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaCatweazle's pet toad/familiar was called Touchwood.
- GoofsThe English language at the time of the Norman invasion was almost completely different from the version Catweazle speaks. His style of spoken English is from at least 300 years later, when English was moving towards a style that is starting to become familiar and a construction more in line with the Germanic languages even though some of the words have evolved from the French language the invading Normans spoke. So in essence, unless Catweazle has learned to speak the English of the middle ages overnight, he should not be able to understand or make himself understood without a huge amount of difficulty. Plus his ability to read the English of the 20th century should also be more or less non-existent. However as this is a childrens programme, you can understand the writers decision to overlook this issue.

Childhood memories that were real
I watched Catweazle when it was originally broadcast and I loved it. I was only seven and nearly 50 years on Talking Pictures channel have started showing it again and it's even better than I remember, possibly because I originally watched it in good old black and white and now I'm watching it on a colour TV.
Thank you Talking Pictures, another terrific series from the 60s, 70s and 80s. Happy memories.
