    Review The Brittas Empire

    This episode features Sebastian Coe, playing himself, and he puts in a good performance as an actor, as he comes face to face with Brittas and the usual mayhem.

    Review DISCUSSION -CATWEAZLE: THE MAGIC RIDDLE - Episode 14

    Glad, like me you feel a new setting will give the show a whole new set of circumstances to explore. Pity we lost the Series 1 cast, but Peter Butterworth is excellent throughout series 2, Gary Warren gradually steps into Robin Davies shoes, but Davies sadly was deeply upset at not doing series...

    Review DISCUSSION- CATWEAZLE: THE TRICKERY LANTERN - Episode 13

    A number of people called Bennett by his name George, including Colonel Upshaw and Miss Bonnington in episodes 9and 4 respectively. So on to series 2 , and yes this last episode of series 1 was outstanding, a very moving end, very difficult to follow this up, so I'm glad they didn't try, and...

    Review Blake's 7 "Zukalis" vids

    This thread is for the fun videos that youtube contributor Zukalis has created. Thought it'll be good to have them together. There's some very clever and amusing stuff here.

    Review The Saint

    The Saint - recommend episodes Two episodes of The Saint have a science fictiony/ fantasy edge, sort of. Worth a view, a pleasant way to spend 50 minutes. First episode The House on Dragons Rock- a crazy scientist is creating a non human monstrosity. Second- The Inescapable Word-...

    Review The Associates

    The next album was Perhaps, the first without Rankine, a sweeping majestic affair that yielded three hits. This wasn't one of them but I like it.

    Review The Associates

    After two small label releases, the third album, Sulk, gave them some hits. Sadly the writing duo of McKenzie and Alan Rankine split up. Here is a non album track released between albums 3 and 4. One of the last to feature Rankine. The girl in this is Martha Ladly, who many reviews mistakenly...

    Review DISCUSSION-CATWEAZLE: THE BLACK WHEELS - Episode 18

    Starting with the last scene, this is where in the opinion of both Richard Carpenter and Geoffrey Bayldon, Garry Warren's Cedric clicked with Catweazle. The charming dance scene, when Cedric and Catweazle jig around to one of the vinyl records that Cat has salvaged from the dump. Catweazle I...

    Review DISCUSSION- CATWEAZLE: THE SIGN OF THE CRAB - Episode 17

    Ronald Lacy as Tearful Ted and Derek Francis as the Police Inspector, two good character actors of the era raise this story. It's a lot of fun, firstly as Ted turns up at Duck Halt and starts blubbing, something that Catweazle can't understand, a man crying and isn't sympathetic. " thou...

    Review DISCUSSION- CATWEAZLE: THE HEAVENLY TWINS - Episode 16

    Series 2 is much more humorous as this episode demonstrates. Paul Eddington as the magician Verdanti was very good. His initial banter with Catweazle was funny. " it's my transistor (radio)" " thou have entranced thy sister?" You can see what's going to happen a mile off when Verdanti turns up...

    Review DISCUSSION- CATWEAZLE: DUCK HALT - Episode 15

    So Catweazle finds his new home, a deserted railway station on a disused line, which is quite clever. The original idea was for Catweazle to be in an old signal box high above the tracks, but that fell through. There's going to be a measure of coincidence in series 2 as Catweazle looks for each...
