The Twin Dilemma!
canndyman21 November 2023
In this third episode, Catweazle is settling into his new home at Duck Halt, while mindful of the need to locate the next sign of the zodiac he requires - the Heavenly Twins of Gemini.

Over at King's Farthing, preparations are under way for a big outdoor party to celebrate Cedric's birthday, with lots of local children invited - with Cedric not 100% as enthusiastic about it as he maybe should be!

Just by chance, Catweazle bumps into the children's magician (Vandanti) who has been invited to be the entertainment at Cedric's party - and it's not long before they both rock up at King's Farthing, with the magic show maybe not going entirely as planned...

This is another memorable and fun episode, and great to see Paul Eddington on good form as Vandanti.

You do wonder early on how Catweazle will actually find the sign he's looking for this time - but once again, fate works in his favour.

The actual magic show itself is funny and silly - I remember my young son really giggling loudly along with it when I first showed him this episode.

Catweazle also comes up with a little song near the start of the episode - the magic riddle set to the tune of his own theme music, which is another nice touch.

The Heavenly Twins
Prismark1019 February 2020
Paul Eddington guest stars as Vandanti the magician. He has been hired to perform at Cedric's birthday party.

Before that Vandanti goes for a spot of fishing and bumps into Catweazle who tells Vandanti that he too can do a bit of magic.

Vandanti and Catweazle end up performing together to entertain the children, only for Catweazle to ruin the tricks. However Catweazle finds a clue to another sign of the zodiac.

Again it is noticeable that the story and quest element is slight. There is almost a randomness to finding the signs of the zodiac.

Great interplay between Vandanti and Catweazle. Vandanti gets increasingly exasperated with Catweazle's antics.
