British actor Geoffrey Bayldon has died at the age of 93, his agency has confirmed.
He was best known for playing the lead role in TV series Catweazle, and the Crowman in Worzel Gummidge.
The actor's film credits include To Sir With Love and The Pink Panther Strikes Again, as well as big-screen versions of Porridge and Steptoe and Son.
He famously turned down the lead role in Doctor Who twice, but did eventually make an appearance on the show in 1979.
RIP Catweazle

Re: RIP Catweazle
Got to admit, I was amazed he was still around when I read about it. I used to Love Catweazel on a Sunday afternoon. RIP old chap.
