Press clippings

"Catweazle" (London Weekend) is a new series for children, so I commandeered a couple of critics. After a false start in which David Frost on a trailer was hailed as Catweazle, the new series seemed to have the necessary magic required to immobilise young children. To me, an old man, who says he's 900 years old but doesn't appear to speak Anglo Saxon, is both inanity and certifiable. But that is parental prejudice. Unsuitable companions suit children fine.

Nancy Banks-Smith, The Guardian, 16th February 1970
