Cuppa tea and slice o'cake - The Worzel Thread

[Nyder]

Worzel Gummidge. Perfect breakfast viewing. The first half must have been quite scary to watch as a kid, as Worzel comes to life in the pouring rain. I didn't recognise Mike Berry at first - but he was in glasses wearing a cloth cap.

It was a different era back then - kids being left alone in the caravan for most of the evening. Although he didn't have that many scenes, Jon Pertwee was fantastic of course. You can see why he loved the character so much.

I agree Si - it's very grainy film!

Old Worzel had his 'andsome 'ead on this morning:-


Downright scary head more like! But as The Crowman pointed out, you have to be handsome on the inside too! A lovely sympathetic performance from Geoffrey Bayldon in this ep.

Terry-Thomas on a bad day...?

And the guest stars keep turning up! Mr Rumbold is the Headmaster!

What with Mike Berry already in the series, this is a real AYBS? treat! I wonder if this led to Mike being cast as Mr Spooner?

I think it's fair to say that Jon and Una had a ball making the episode "Worzel Pays A Visit", as they lob cakes, eggs and water at each other at Bloomsbury-Barton Hall. And there were a LOT of cakes!!

Worzel & Aunt Sally exited Series 1 in style with their Scarecrow Hop (aided by old Worzel's dancing 'ead of course). I love Una's wooden movements as she walks. Bill Pertwee guest-starred in this one. Keep it in the family I suppose!

Poor Worzel- he got so close to getting Aunt Sally then too.
