R.I.P. Geoffrey 'Catweazle' Bayldon

Post by number 6 »

Sad to hear of the passing of Geoffrey Bayldon, aged 93. He was most famous for the 70's tv show Catweazle. He also played the Crowman in Worzel Gummidge, another 70's hit. He also appeared as Mr Gringle in the 1978 F5 episode 'Five go to Billycock hill'. R.I.P. :cry:

How sad, Number 6. He was brilliant as Catweazle and as the Crowman in Worzel Gummidge . RIP Geoffrey Bayldon.

Sad - a 'do you remember Catweazle?' video/post only popped up in one of my FB groups a few days ago.

Vale Mr. Eleck-trickery!

He also played three different characters in All Creatures Great and Small - not at the same time, I hasten to add!
