I have it on good authority that Talking Pictures TV are to repeat the two series of Catweazle.
Wonderous!
Hopefully a lot of kids that have never seen it before will tune in to see it.. So much better than some of the rubbish they spew out on children's TV.
Of course, Talking Pictures TV wouldn't be the first choice that kids would tune in to, if ever.. So we need the parents and grandparents to make this known to the little ones. I will be advertising the fact that it's on every week on me social media platforms and would encourage you to also.. Let's see if we can get a higher viewer rating than before..
The exact dates and times are to be announced and when they are I'll post it here..

Yes it was mentioned to me earlier they have put it back on early mornings. I went to check tomorrows TV listings just now on Channel 81 but couldn't see it advertised. Then logged in and saw a reply it's only being shown Monday to Thursday. I've seen all of Series 2 from last years broadcasts and a number of the 1st series from 1969 or '70 so think now when I'm able to watch again will only be watching episodes I've already seen. I think the 10am broadcast time is unsuitable for some and not everyone will be able to tune in but will endeavour to catch up again and see once more some enduring tales of this bygone classic.

To be honest, it's good that they are showing the series in different timeslots each time they repeat the run - might well catch audiences who tune in at different times and new Weazlers will come into being!

I caught "Duck Halt" this morning and it was wonderful to see it on TV. The prints are pretty ropey but the sound quality is far better than the Network DVDs for series two. OH how I wish they'd go ahead with a Blu-Ray for both series and clear them up. It really needs to be done x

I'm quite surprised that TPTV, whilst showing Catweazle again, haven't shown the Brothers In Magic interview with both Geoffrey and Robin. Would they need special rights seperate from the episodes, me thinks? Those that don't have the videos but have enjoyed watching these re-runs would definitely have a nice surprise and may delve into Catweazle and finally take the plunge and join us here. I may see if I can contact Noel, Sarah and Neill of TPTV and enquire as I'm on their registered list. Will keep you updated if anything positive comes along.

The Brothers in Magic feature is owned by Network, who released the series on DVD. TPTV have licensed Catweazle from ITV Global (who in turn license the series to Network). I suspect that Network would want to keep their exclusives like Brothers in Magic exclusive, so that there is additional material on the DVDs that you can't see on TV.

I see you what you mean. It's a shame as it may have introduced a wider audience, young and old, to this particular series and who don't bother accessing Youtube and the like.

The YouTube copy is unofficial as I understand it, not licensed, though I'm sure that it's brought people to the series. It's a lovely feature and - very sadly - not something that Talking Pictures could make themselves today as the cast are no longer with us, as you know.
TPTV do a very good job in terms of creating their own interviews with the stars of yesteryear and also staging events (I've been to a couple myself), but unless they manage to interview someone like Joy Whitby, who is still around, Catweazle's a bit of an interview dead-end to them.

Seen a few interviews with British stars on TPTV and awaiting for them to hopefully have Wendy Craig whose done a massive amount of TV work. Mother Makes Three and Five should undoubtedly get a mention of Robin in there.

I reckon Carol would be able tell us what Gary's up to. I understand he's still around but I haven't a clue as to whether he works in the same industry.

He attended one of the Club's Catweazle gatherings and was reunited with Geoffrey in later years, but sadly his Club appearance was prior to my joining the club, so I've not met him.
