Professor Branestawm
Professor Branestawm is a character in a series of books by Norman Hunter.
Professor Branestawm is the archetypal absent-minded professor. He is always at work in his "Inventory" creating bizarre inventions, all of which malfunction and which lead him into incredible adventures, often accompanied by his friend Colonel Dedshott of the Catapult Cavaliers, and his housekeeper Mrs Flittersnoop.
The first book featuring Professor Branestawm was The Incredible Adventures of Professor Branestawm, first published in 1933. The sequel was Professor Branestawm's Treasure Hunt, published 1937. The books were illustrated by Heath Robinson.
Thames Television adapted the books into episodes of a television sitcom, The Incredible Adventures of Professor Branestawm.
