Losing your head

edit

My whole family loves Worzel (the TV series) very much. The stories are simple and the character's are fun. The "head thing" has been explained to and understood by all of our children and has actually helped them understand many of life's other real and unreal conundrums too. Compare this with what our elite and hubristic society accepts as normal for our children to watch today. Worzel wins heads & hands down.

Story line section

edit

The last paragraph of this section seems quite disjointed. Reads like its been copy and pasted from somewhere. pomegranate 18:10, 28 February 2007 (UTC)Reply

Starting date

edit

The year given, 1947, might be for the first television show soon after TV returned from its wartime closure. Worzel Gummidge ran on radio Children's Hour during the war, probably before it too.--SilasW 20:17, 27 July 2007 (UTC)Reply


Worzel Gummidge Turns Detective

edit

According to IMDb there was a 1953 TV series called Worzel Gummidge Turns Detective. Does anyone have information on this?--The Shadow Treasurer (talk) 05:15, 27 December 2008 (UTC)Reply

Identity crisis?

edit

This page doesn't quite seem to know whether it's subject is the 1970–80s TV series starring Jon Pertwee, or Worzel Gummidge the character as featured in the series. The vast majority of the data relates to the TV series, but there is some info on the earlier books, radio series, TV series, Jackanory, etc.

I think the existing page needs to become 'Worzel Gummidge (TV series)' with 'Worzel Gummidge' continuing to exist for the other/earlier incarnations of the character. Any thoughts? I'll leave things as they are for the time being, but unless anyone can put up a good case for not doing so, I intend to proceed with 'the split' after a suitable period. Thanks. 86.2.48.247 (talk) 07:37, 18 June 2009 (UTC)Reply
