...needs to be strangled with his own moustache. If indeed it is his own moustache, which I HIGHLY doubt.
On a more positive note, I used to love those 'Charlie says...' adverts (from the early eighties) in which a lad politely declines a sexual predator's dubious invitation to go and see some puppies and is then rewarded for his good sense with an apple. I always used to think, "Poor sod. That must at least be worth a Mars Bar."
Charlie, for forriners and the youthful, was the boy's pet cat and the one whose wise counsel averts his owner's premature deflowering. I believe he got a fish.
Can anyone remember what the alleged paedo looked like? Memory doesn't serve. Was he wearing a mac, thick NHS glasses etc.?

I think you'll find that there was no mac or nhs glasses involved!!

Errr...
Isn't one of England's creepiest paedophile murderers called Catweasle?

'Catweazle' (correct spelling)
was a children's book and later a TV show, about a medieval time travelling magician of the same name. The actor who played him was also a wrestler if I recall correctly.

Ah, I see.
That must be where Leslie "Catweasel" Bailey got his moniker. He was sentence to life in October 1992 for raping and killing kids - a genuinely nasty piece of work. The real Catweazle can't have been too thrilled with that bit of PR.

Oh, he's dead!
Nil desperandum; 'Bad' Catweazle was killed by fellow inmates after only a year in prison. Hurrah!

There wasn't a 'real Catweazle', you know.
The Medieval time-travelling magician was a made up character.

A dark overcoat
and had a moustache I think.

Oh, that brings back memories...
...of the advert, I mean. Yeah, he just looks like an 'everyman' sort - which is the point, I suppose. Still there might have been a bit more narrative tension if he'd had a bit of stubble and mad, staring eyes etc.

Did you know, that Charlie was voiced by Kenny Everett?
Neither did I until last week.

Charly, by any chance?

that'll teach me not to remember or google things for myself

Seriously?
It doesn't sound like Kenny Everett at all! Sounds pre-pubescent at a time when Kenny would definitely have been all grown up (early seventies?) Or am I missing a prank? *Confused*

Mr Joy is correct,
Twas the late Mr Everrett that was responsible for that voice.

BBC link 'cos Wiki can't be trusted on this (probably got Bob Holness playing the sax on it somewhere).

Ohhhh...
I'm getting Charlie (the cat) and the boy mixed up. So Kenny was the cat!

Me too!
That cat has a razor-sharp set of gnashers and makes short work of its fishy reward. At one point the poor lad looks really fucked, standing between some insane, babbling tiger and a paedo.
