This isn't series 4 cos Davenport and Mumford were only in series 1! More likely Series 1 Episode 4...

[Hitchmeister]

@feline1973 Incorrect. Michael Darbyshire who played Davenport died in 1979, Thats when Anthony Jackson delined to be in the next series, series 5. This is as it states, Series 4 Episode 1.

[feline1973]

@Hitchmeister yes sorry, I see now I was misled by wikipedia. My apologies

[Hitchmeister]

@feline1973 No worries bro, just enjoy the show :) BTW, interesting Drum n Cakes!

This episode is when the rot set in.

Even though this is still the original cast, it has already become all about magic, and biologically grotesque too, instead of clever twists on spirituality as in the beginning. At the time, seeing a witch introduced was a bad sign: it was R turning into a predictable kids' show, and it was humiliating after you felt sensible watching the first 3 series exactly because there was no stooping to the depths of having a witch.

The golden age ended right here.

[RebelVoDKa]

You've been red-thumbed a few times, but for what it's worth I agree. That bloody panto horse and the McWitch killed the show even before messrs Mumford and Davenport departed.

Any episodes with Catastrophe Kate?

[julielee73]
