Geoffrey Bayldon stars as the eleventh century magician, Catweazle, who escaped from soldiers through time to find himself nine centuries into the future. His magic is very hit-and-miss and it is compounded by his inability to deal with the trappings of modern-day life, such as electricity (“electrickery”) and the telephone (“telling bone”), but he is befriended by a farmer’s son and they share a number of unpredictable adventures together. It is written and created by Richard Carpenter, who is also responsible for such shows as The Adventures Of Black Beauty, The Ghosts Of Motley Hall and Robin Of Sherwood.Episodes:
