Catweazle and Worzel Gummidge actor Geoffrey Bayldon leaves £1million in his will
Actor Geoffrey Bayldon, who played time-travelling television wizard Catweazle, left £1 million in his will.
Bayldon, who died in May aged 93, shot to fame in 1970 playing Catweazle, a medieval magician uprooted from his own time and forced to cope with life in the modern age.
His constant references to ‘electrickery’ instead of electricity and the ‘telling bone’ instead of telephone were copied by children across the country.
Bayldon also starred in Worzel Gummidge, as the menacing Crowman. He left sums of money and items such as his Crowman costume to family and friends.
