Did anybody watch this?

I certainly did! I saw the tv series when I was a child on german television, and I have always loved it.

The mysterious 'magician' who didn't talk, could fly with his unbrella, and with turning his black bowler hat he could make himself small and normal sized again.

Here's a picture of Otto Simanek as Pau Tau:

"When there is no more room in the Oven,
the Bread will walk the Earth."

Yes I did watch it as a child, too. (Germany)

Great show.

richard-III said it all.

In Quebec, Canada, it played on french television as "Monsieur Rosée".

I loved the simple mystery and elegance conveyed by the main character. I so wished I had those magical talents. :)
