Catweazle was a television comedy series produced by London Weekend Television in the early 1970's. Catweazle was conceived and written by Richard Carpenter and ran for two seasons starring Geoffrey Bayldon as the irrepressible protagonist.

Catweazle was a magician who lived in the eleventh century, but however hard he tried, his spells hardly ever worked. One day was different. When Norman soldiers tried to capture him, in desperation he used some magic to escape, and it worked! The only trouble was that instead of flying through space to flee his pursuers, he flew though time.

Catweazle finds himself nine centuries into the future. Being a magician, everything he experiences in the twentieth century such as motor cars, telephones ("telling bones"), and electric light ("electrickery"), he believes is the result of magic.

This basic premise, and Catweazle's quest to return to his own time, drives much of the comedy in the series as Catweazle finds himself in situations that often become, well, hilarious.

In the first series Catweazle is befriended by a farmer's son, Carrot, and the two share a succession of chaotic misadventures before the wizard succeeds in returning to his own time. The second series (also known as Catweazle and the Magic Zodiac) repeated the same formula, but this time Catweazle's young friend is Cedric, the son of Lord and Lady Collingforth.
