A Wizard from England's early Norman era accidentally falls through Time into the twentieth century and is trapped there. Local farmer's lad Carrot helps him adapt to the wonders of the technological age. Catweazle is returned to his own era at the end of the first series. The start of the second sees the same accident; this time he is befriended by Cedric, son of the local gentry. Catweazle was much helped by Bayldon's fine, quirky performance in the title role.
