BACKGROUND

Catweazle was a magician who lived in the eleventh century, but however hard he tried, his spells
hardly ever worked. One day was different. When Norman soldiers tried to capture him, in desperation
he used some magic to escape, and it worked! The only trouble was that instead of flying through
space to flee his pursuers, he flew though time and finds himself 9 centuries in the future. 
Those of us of a certain age will remember this superb series with great affection and it was a staple
diet of this, Doctor Who and The Tomorrow People.

With Kids shows lacking the quality of yesteryear, maybe they should look back into the archives
and see how it should be done...

TRIVIA FAX
Geoffrey Baldon was asked by Doctor Who producer John Nathan Turner to play the role of the First Doctor
in the 20th Anniversary story The Five Doctors...he declined and let Richard Hurndell embarrass himself instead! 

He did appear in Doctor Who back in the 1979 piece of turd, The Creature from the Pit. 

Baldon finally played the Doctor for Big Finish Doctor Who Audio Dramas in the Unbound series.

Richard Carpenter was also the brains behind the excellent Robin of Sherwood.
