This is nostalgia at its finest!
For all people who just desire to watch a simple series about friendship and how fast one can be overrun by nowadays' inventions, this is the perfect entertainment. Short episodes, no boring lenghts and especially enough but not too much humor.
The main character, Catweazle, is a wizard from about 1066 who by accident teleported himself and his toad into the 1970s. There, he is confronted with all kinds of modern technology (electricity, cars etc.). Together with a teenage friend, he finds at the beginning of each season, he explores this unknown time and tries to get back in his own time.
Interestingly enough, Catweazle is not as dumb as any other cliched time traveler who still can't figure out the technology of the future on the third try.
I also liked the actors really well: Geoffrey Bayldon just perfectly melts into the role of Catweazle. Harold, Cedric (Catweazle's friends in season one and two) and Catweazle are portrayed in a perfect manny, a bit over the top but not too much. Thus, each character grows on you within the first episode.
Although it's a kids show, also adults can have fun with it. It is one of the best British TV shows to just relax for approx. 25 minutes per episode. I loved watching it again!
