The original 1970s series of Worzel Gummidge was repeated on Channel 4 in the mid-1980s and was so popular a sequel was made where the character ended up in New Zealand in a circus.
Showing my age, used to be terrified of Worzel when I was little, but LOVED Wacaday! Jon Pertwee was a legend (fun fact, my uncle once met him whilst on holiday in Mallorca!) Love his cheeky humour here. This is brilliant, thanks for sharing!
@@vanessalouise8988 that is the scene that would always frighten me the rows of heads , and for some reason it disturbed when he always fell of his perch at the end of the credits
@@Dinvadbhatmarathi98 My mum school 🏫 friend eldest daughter Helen once asked when she came down to our house in the 1980s how did worzel Gummidge take he head 🗣️ off.
This is the Wide Awake Club (WAC) not WACADAY. WACADAY was the holiday version that was shown 5 days a week during holidays, this was the regular Saturday (and later also Sunday) version.
I remember diving for a VHS and recording this on broadcast…. This recording misses the bit where Worzel says in response to Tommy Boyd’s French accent “Hello Mr Sellers, I thought we’d lost you” (in reference to Inspector Clouseau)... the programme ended with Pertwee wearing the female presenters spotty trousers as a scarf 😂
Clever ol Worzel, did all that and didn't have his reading head, well he said he did, but it looked like his regular head. Did he ever meet Tatty, from Wisadora and did he get those trousers?
Tommy Boyd always hosted children's TV as though he were being held at gunpoint and forced to act like everything was just fine and dandy. Wherever he could, he'd attempt to subtly communicate his predicament to the viewer in the hope that they'd take the hint and send for help to go and rescue him. Don't get me wrong, I think he was great. But he was looking for an unlocked exit the whole time.
No country on earth did chaotic children’s television like the British did back in the day 😊
Simply magnificent.
I think I the Japanese would have something to say about that.
Worzel. One of my best childhood memories. I've even bought the dvd boxset
As a Doctor Who fan, Jon Pertwee is an absolute legend! "reverse the polarity of the neutron flow".
Sylvester McCoy and Ace❤only remember John from Worzel absolutely loved that show . Rip 🪦 John , Una and Charlotte😢
Awwww Jon was a legend. Both as Worzel, The Doctor & as himself. Had a good,funny chat with him at a convention. True gent.
Aw, ol' Worzel. I met Jon as Worzel in 1989, In Norfolk.
Let's hope Keith sees this and leaves a comment.
I used to love Tommy on Talk Radio UK too. He was great!
Top class telly. What lucky children we were.

Hope this will appear as an extra on the eventual restored Worzel Gummidge Down Under Bluray
Thank you for sharing. This is great. I love both Jon Pertwee and Tommy Boyd so both in one programme is fantastic.
PO I don't know what that means. 🤣
