Yep, that's right - and he must have been bald then - that's why Andy wears a hat. Hasn't changed at all!

Classic episode of Magic Roundabout. All my favourite characters in it. Only missing Zebedee...
Great political comment - about trains being Nationalized and ends with Dougal saying the countries going to the dogs!

Richard Carpenter, creator of Catweazle, dies aged 78

Richard 'Kip' Carpenter, the creator of cult children's TV series Catweazle, has died at the age of 78.

Carpenter wrote all 26 episodes of the 1970s show - about an "eccentric, dishevelled" time-travelling wizard - winning him international recognition and a Writers Guild award.

He later wrote the 1980s hit ITV show Robin of Sherwood, first starring Michael Praed and then Jason Connery.

Author Anthony Horowitz, who worked with Carpenter, called him a "mentor".

How sad - didn't know this when I started the thread!

Strange coincidence...
