Catweazle Series 1 Episode 2 - Castle Saburac (Part 2)

[@thebadloser]

This is an acting masterclass from the late Geoffrey Baylden - if he'd played this character in a serious period movie he'd have been nominated for an Oscar.

[@JoeRivermanSongwriter]

Agreed.

[@illuminatedgalaxies7777.]

wonderful series ,no swearing no rudeness ,no violence just a great happy jolly series that I loved then and love now ,..!💜

[@thematrix9303]

THE BEST BRITISH PROGRAM EVER, I'm only 15, but when i was 6 i used to watch these on my grans dvd's all the time, the good old days 😭

[@KEVIN-tx6bt]

It's a programme.

[@dinglebay100]

Absolutely delightful, enjoyed this as a child and still enjoy it now!

[@robharding5345]

Loved this show ! catweasel was so believable, whenever I was near a wooded area, I always looked out for him,

[@davidwarner8353]

Great to see catweazle again.. Me and my brother laughed our heads off at this great show.

[@jayashreegopalakrishnan8107]

as a child I watched the catweazle series on TV and it was yesterday once more for me..

[@arqeing3574]

It's a fantastic series. How great to have found it, thank you internet. Please more chapters on KZbin.

[@Karloffrules]

this is beyond fantastic. We did not have this in the US (that I know of - certainly not in South Texas). It seems British television programming has always been extraordinary. Thank you so much for posting.

[@lewisner]

You should search for the old black and white 1960s "Robinson Crusoe" - equally brilliant TV.

[@JoeRivermanSongwriter]

It used to be but not anymore sadly.

[@glenclark777]

Another one that's on youtube is Blake's 7. Its another great British TV classic.

[@TheDeclancox]

Growing up in Ireland I loved this series and it stands the test of time beautifully, brings back many happy memories, thank you!

[@harpothehealer]

This brings back memories, use to watch this as a kid. You know all these shows Catweazle, Folly foot, The Champions, Mission Impossible (Series) unwittingly had a profound effect on all of us growing up at this time. Everything about these shows including a good music score did so much. For me just like watching these and shows like Robinson Crusoe in holidays was developing that individualistic thing that I feel isn't around so much with the youth these days. I guess its just the way the worlds gone with so much to occupy the mind in immediacy through internet IPhone etc. Great that that is sometimes it completely stifles a good imagination

[@MikeWhiskyTango]

Brilliant series, absolutely loved this as a kid in Adelaide. It was on about 430 pm Followed by John Pertwee's Dr Who and then My Favourite Martian.

[@ACDZ123]

Ha ha same in Perth basically as well 😄

[@kathleenpfeiffer3087]

Brings back such fond memories of my childhood in Brussels...I love it!!

[@snorten7455]

As this was a London Weekend Television programme I was never sure how much of the UK ever saw this series,but as a child I found it magical

[@flyinspirals]

+S Norten I would have loved it -- imagining being that boy, and finding such a treasure... and the adults not getting it... My sister and I would have made up a Catweazle game, and confounded the adults almost as much as the 'real' one did : ) The only UK children's show we ever got to see was The Double Deckers, which was on public television one season. We were enchanted -- still reference the theme song as adults, haha. And this show is better. Oh, we also got to see the Black Beauty series, which was breathtakingly beautiful compared to anything on US children's television. But that was later.

[@Nina5144]

What do you mean. We all had iTV on our TVs all my friends watched this.

[@warwickharty172]

What a fabulous series. Nothing takes me back more to my childhood than Catweazle!

[@09conrado]

Did anyone see that bath water?! Great detail

[@TheAkelei]

I saw this years ago and never realized he was SO thin, nearly emaciated. Perfect for the role, though. He is wonderful in this role.

[@JimmyJinky67]

I was born in early 70's,this is the first time iv'e heard of this due to Geoffrey Bayldon passing away,it's brilliant,R.I.P Geoffrey.

[@arqeing3574]

Es una serie fantástica. Que genial haberla encontrado, gracias internet. Por favor más capitulos en KZbin también en español.

[@tamararoutledge4273]

Love Catweasle & allways will.

[@SamuraiJim]

I wish this was repeated, I would enjoy seeing it again.

[@sovaine]

Ace memories.....both series where so well written...timeless viewing:-)...Salmay! Dalmay!! Adonay!!!.

[@radagaz]

Back in early 70 most of my favorite TV series were british: UFO, Dr Who, The avengers, The saint and the best of all, the one i awaited for all week, Catweazel... transmited by the state tv chanel in Mexico

[@NSResponder]

it really was amazing how good a job the BBC did on this with next to no budget.

[@nickcoverdale6126]

Was on ITV

[@Nina5144]

As you can see from the add breaks, it is NOT BBC! Another brilliant ITV series. The BBC were knocking out crappy Dr Who with poor special effects 😃

[@tubetrf]

Worth the posts.. grew up with this n fascinated again yeah must mean something even the first words of the show..1 cheers

[@54katalin]

woooot my house hold is called 'castle saburac' and i still use electrickery and tellingbone :). thank you ever so much for these episodes :) my 7yrold loves them :)

[@JoeRivermanSongwriter]

Best kid's TV show ever.

[@TheDavecroft]

Did he say 'unhand me acorn'? Hahaha

[@rhiannonkg1]

wow that's a very young Bud Tingwell!

[@quintonsmith4923]

This sort of thing can look really bad at the wrong end of 40 years but it has lasted brilliantly...can't go wrong with a good cast and script! Long overdue for a remake, I can't imagine why some exec didn't pick this up during the Potter/Rings fever...

[@sonofcy]

+Quinton Smith The late great "Kip Carpenter" was the writer, also did "Robin of Sherwood"

[@sir243_simr]

You could never remake this, the whole era it was filmed in and magic of it could never be recaptured.. It would only ruin the whole program, leave it as it is and keep the memories of this

[@glenclark777]

@@sir243_simr Its the same with Fawlty Towers. You could never redo it, it just wouldn't be the same.

[@Bamboule05]

Well, guess what: the Germans did a full movie with Otto Waalkes playing Catweazle recently.

[@JOHNSMITH-vx5yz]

This was a great show n the 60. 70s. Time. Wish they would bring CATWEASEL back.

[@lefroy1]

Poor Sam! No credence given to the half-wit, depite his being the only genuine purveyor of sorcerer Catweazle.

[@buffalo738]

great stuff, many thanks for posting

[@robertbawden1702]

can anyone tell me if he makes it back home? im 57 now and enjoyed him in my younger days. can you buy the box set?

[@RubberyCat]

Considering how season 2 starts, he seems to have gotten back to his own time in the end of season 1, so I recon he gets back in the end of season 2 as well, but I really don't know.

[@Darren79]

RubberyCat - not spoiling the series 2 ending for anyone who hasn't watched it but had they made a third series it was intended that Catweazle would crash back at this farm except it has new owners and he would have been supported by a young girl.

[@RubberyCat]

***** The problem with that mentality, is that a lot of things are good enough to watch, but not good enough to buy. This series ends up in that area.

[@flyinspirals]

+RubberyCat exactly. But the money grubbers only care how many they can sell, not how many people will never see it again because they're not gonna shell out for it. Capitalism is only really fun if you care more about making money than about any other pleasure.

[@jonsmith20766]

Marjie Lawrence was Sarah Greene's Mum, met her and husband Harry a few times, were a sweet old couple.

[@Bamboule05]

Catweazle is so popular even in other countries that they shot a catweazle movie with Otto Waalkes, a german comedian, in Germany. Would you believe it!

[@brianartillery]

SATOR AREPO TENET OPERA ROTAS I always believed it to mean: 'The Farmer Arepo Has Worked Wheels' . It is certainly ancient, and can be found at sites such as Pompeii. It is thought to have been used as a good luck charm. I suppose that if you thought of 'Farmer Arepo' as a deity, then it might mean something along the lines of 'The Gods Turn The Wheels Of The Universe'. But nobody's sure. I think that it's simply very cool.

[@09conrado]

Well it can be read in any direction and still spell the same

[@JoeRivermanSongwriter]

It's a palindrome.

[@ThePersian61]

Weird watching this in colour, we only had black & white TV when this was first aired in the early 70's.

[@Bamboule05]

True!

[@dagestanchechnya7942]

Catwilzle is onse meester die heeft dat vertelt

[@Rover109able]

Better than the junk they try and pass off as entertainment to day

[@haileysvomit]

you said it , damn cool, better than stupid modern rubbish and harry bollox potter !!!!

[@SamuraiJim]

Why don't they repeat this on, U.K gold.

[@Martyn0001]

Just what I was thinking!

[@peteduffy472]

knocked is house down paddy style

[@Jeansieguy]

3:11 Does Catweazle say, "Sator Arepo Tenet Opera Rotas"?

[@SdeCiduus]

Yes. He says that quite frequently.

[@Jeansieguy]

Is he telling people he's a Christian?

[@SdeCiduus]

***** You'll have to find the tellingbone and ask him

[@Jeansieguy]

SdeCiduus So that's where telling bone comes from. The Sator latin thingy is from a "Sator square" which was inside or outside of houses of early Christians, the letters make the anagram pater noster or Our father. Odd thing for a wizard to be saying.

[@RubberyCat]

***** Not really that odd, religiosity and magical beliefs used to be far more entwined once, from what I have read, I think it is more odd that he called his magic "the dark arts", as I see it.

[@tnimbus]

why are all the later episodes blocked?

[@emilioacosta1716]
