    Great fan of Catweazle, only watching it last week on DVD. Shall remember him next time I'm on the "telling-bone".

    IMDB have him credited with playing the part of The Crowman in the tv series Worzel Gummidge, Worzel was played by Jon Pertwee

    He was *in* Worzel Gummidge, but played the character Crow Man. The title character was played by John Pertwee.

    RIP to both of them.

    Always a favourite. Like Afternoon Delight, still refer to the "telling-bone" from time to time. RIP Geoffrey and thanks for the memories!

    memory lapse .. IMDB MUST be right .. Pertwee and Bayldon made a good partnership .. both good at playing eccentric old countrymen/Englishmen

    Wasn't there a Catweazel wrestler in the Mick McManus days?

    Definitely but it wasn't Geoffrey Bayldon as he would have snapped he was so skinny.

    RIP Geoffrey. Catweazle was great, and even better as the Crow Man in Worzel. My kids grew up on that and loved it.
