The classic that I am going to share with you this week was first broadcast in 1979. It is about a family who relocate to the countryside. Before they even reach their accommodation they meet a peculiar fellow who lives in a field. He is made of straw and he is famous for wanting ‘A cup o’ tea an a slice o’ cake.’ That’s right, it’s Worzel Gummidge.
I watched the first episode and it was much scarier than I remember. Maybe they decided to change the tone after the pilot episode. I also wanted to show an episode that had Aunt Sally in it so I chose episode 3 from the 1st series which is where she first appears and it is, appropriately, called Aunt Sally. Her cheeks aren’t as red as I remember them being in later episodes but she is still just as annoying. ;o) In this episode Worzel saves Aunt Sally from being sold by pretending he is her. Confusing but fun. ;o)

I don’t know why but I HATED Worzel Gummidge. He actually makes me feel quite nauseous. I don’t know why!
Sorry for making you feel sick! I will try and make up for it next week. :0)
Mm sorry I have to agree I hates this program too, it just unnerved me slightly! I loved John Pertwee as Dr Who though!
