- QuizCatweazle's pet toad/familiar was called Touchwood.
- BlooperThe 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.

Recensione in evidenza
This is nostalgia at its finest!
For all people who just desire to watch a simple series about friendship and how fast one can be overrun by nowadays' inventions, this is the perfect entertainment. Short episodes, no boring lenghts and especially enough but not too much humor.
The main character, Catweazle, is a wizard from about 1066 who by accident teleported himself and his toad into the 1970s. There, he is confronted with all kinds of modern technology (electricity, cars etc.). Together with a teenage friend, he finds at the beginning of each season, he explores this unknown time and tries to get back in his own time.
Interestingly enough, Catweazle is not as dumb as any other cliched time traveler who still can't figure out the technology of the future on the third try.
I also liked the actors really well: Geoffrey Bayldon just perfectly melts into the role of Catweazle. Harold, Cedric (Catweazle's friends in season one and two) and Catweazle are portrayed in a perfect manny, a bit over the top but not too much. Thus, each character grows on you within the first episode.
Although it's a kids show, also adults can have fun with it. It is one of the best British TV shows to just relax for approx. 25 minutes per episode. I loved watching it again!
