Hi everyone,

I feel as if I should know this, but I would like to put a map up at the 50th anniversary to display the countries that aired Catweazle. Obviously, we have the UK, Germany, The Netherlands, Australia, Norway and I think even China (as Robin said he got loads of fan mail from there) but if you happen to have found a list (Kip told me once, but at the time I was just listening rather than taking notes!!) It would help to make a display of the wide spread appeal of Catweazle. It would also be nice to recognise our friends and members from these areas.
If not I will go to the archives and see if they have the information.
Cheers every body.

Carol & Alan

China is new to me too and really doesn't sound quite right to me. Off the top of my head, you've missed out on Japan. Could it have been Japan that Robin was speaking of Carol? I'd be so surprised if it were China as I'm not so sure they would have been importing too many western shows. I have an interesting newspaper article about ITV's sales abroad which shows Japan for Catweazle. How on earth do I upload an image here? When I try, I am only given an option to do so via url and not directly from my computer.

I know he said he got sack loads, but yes indeed Japan is more likely to be correct.
