I loved seeing this episode for the first time back in 1971, on the LWT re-run in the mid-80s - & now on DVD with my wife!
In this second story of season 2, Catweazle is determined to continue his quest for the signs of the zodiac, and hopes the reluctant Cedric will help with the next sign, the bull.
There's lots of memorable scenes in this, & a couple that definitely have stayed lodged in my mind since 1971!
We get yet another future member of the Last of the Summer Wine actors in the shape of Bill Owen as a rag & bone man.
Catweazle also needs a new den to call his home and, after casting the runes earlier for enlightenment, it all comes to a very memorable ending.
I loved the jaunty incidental music too (reused from an episode in season 1), which evokes the summer fun of the story.
Def one of my favourite episodes!
