Cup of tea and a slice of cake?....Mackenzie Crook and the team behind the Detectorists are bringing back Worzel.
Time to go back to the ten acre field....

Looking forward to seeing who is playing Aunt Sally....

My wife loved Worzel Gummidge as a child. So much so that she bought the box set. Not sure how this will pan out. Maybe things should be left alone. I wonder what the crow man would make of it?

Fantastic.
But in my opinion I don't think it will better the original.
Kelly Brook to play Aunt Sally, in let's say a more modern dress.

Know what you mean but I’m optimistic if Crook is behind it. The Detectorists was one of the best series I’ve watched.

....and Kelly Brook in a hayloft, well.........

I instantly thought that Mackenzie Crook was a sublime fit for the part as he wouldn't need much makeup.

Yes. I’ve seen some other pics of him as Worzel and he looks more like the traditional one. If I remember correctly Worzel could change heads? I definitely had a WG toy that had interchangeable heads.

Detectorists was sublime. Just a joyful program. Instantly became a favourite of mine.

Yes, remember the different heads, there was certainly a " Thinking Head " for when he had a problem.

Changing of the heads was the best part, watch a clip of when he puts his brave head on.
As it's an up to date version I wonder if he will have a Brexit head.
Blimey I may have opened up a can of worms there.

I hope so, but Pertwee was just brilliant.
Ricky Gervais would make a great Crowman.

Wasn’t Crowman played by the same actor that was Catweazle? I believe he passed away recently. Amazing face.
