Worzel Gummidge Audience Reviews

KnotMissPriceless Why so much hype?
Wordiezett So much average
Actuakers One of my all time favorites.
Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
mervclan I am such a big fan of John Pertwee he was just amazing the Doctor who series after he left I thought he would not be in any other show or film that was until I saw this show Worzel Gummidge what I a great show that people that are really forgetting I mean its such a great show. Worzel Gummidge is a talking scarecrow who always seems to get into trouble for something but always finds away out of it this show is funny fresh and nice I mean what ever happen to old comedies like this show even Thoe its not the greatest show ever made its still great fun for kids and the family its seems to be a very underrated show I would say this 80s underrated gem I give this show a 9.5 out of 10 at its best.
wozzasfc If you're children haven't seen this, ensure that they do. And if you watched this as a child, secretly join them for a nostalgic journey which you will enjoy even more now.This children's favourite revolves around a scarecrow that comes to life on the fictional Scatterbrook Farm. Yes, you may sit back thinking this could only be scary, but Jon Pertwee's delivery of the character makes him lovable, and someone you can only pity. The adults never see the grumpy frustrated scarecrow come to life, but the kids are there to join his ever-lasting quest to attract the girl of his dreams, Aunt Sally. Aunt Sally (Una Stubbs) is a classy doll who could never be with a revolting scarecrow, though inside, she really does want to be with him but can never admit it to herself.The surrounding cast are somewhat less memorable, but do help keep the momentum going. Jon and Una are faultless in their acting, and will make you laugh, sad and angry throughout each episode. Harmless children's fun to be enjoyed by all the family. Excellent.
Big Movie Fan As a child, I found scarecrows a little bit too creepy but by the time I was an adult and watched this show, I soon forgot about the creepy scarecrows you see in fields and enjoyed this show.The late Jon Pertwee played scarecrow Worzel Gummidge who lived on Scatterbrook Farm (I think that was the name of the farm). Joining him were the likes of Una Stubbs as his girlfriend and Carry On... favourite Barbara Windsor.The show itself was fun as Worzel got up to all sorts of adventures, scrapes and the like. Jon Pertwee did a great job with Worzel who is probably one of the funniest characters ever.This is the perfect show for kids today. You can put on a video of this show for your kids and let them watch safe in the knowledge there will be no sex, bad language or violence. Worzel Gummidge didn't need to do it's best to be entertaining-it was just entertaining, period.
Gmarkjames This is a fantastic children's TV programme. It's about the title character; a walking, talking, messy, clumsy scarecrow called Worzel who comes to life in Scatterbrook Farm. This programme includes a fine cast including Geoffrey Bayldon, Charlotte Coleman, Mike Berry and Una Stubbs as the ONE AND ONLY Aunt Sally (Worzel's INTENDED!) Fantastic show and a 10/10 job no question!!
