It's Catweazle that l would love to see make a comeback. Briiliantly acted by the wonderfully versatile Geoffrey Bayldon. There is a short video clip online Catweazle says goodbye, take the time to watch it, quite emotional really. Took me straight back to my childhood.

Just been taking a trip down memory lane watching a few clips of Worzel and Catweazle. Have to say I loved Worzel Gummidge. Great casts in there.
Did a little research too, Geoffrey Bayldon only died in 2017 in his 90s. The young girl in WG, Christine (?) Coleman was also in a few movies including Four Wedding and a Funeral and tragically died at 33 having had an asthma attack.

Bloody hell, that must be his Freddy Kruger 'ead. He'll be giving kids nightmares.
Looks very much like Freddy Kruger, yes I think young kids will be very frightened.
I always thought Worzel Gummidge looked like a friendly old tramp rather than a scarecrow, definitely wasn't scary.

I could, but I have a lot of programmes/movies/reading to catch up on and while I'm catching up on that I can see other people's reviews/comments, etc. and see if it's worth keeping in my 'to watch' pile or if I could bin it off and save the time for catching up on other things.

I thought it was very good. Both of my daughters (aged 10 & 8) thought it was excellent and I enjoyed watching it with them.
My daughters are desperate for the program to be made into a series.

We all sat down as a family and watched this, kids 6 and 9 yrs old. (Not something we do often these days) I thought it was very good and laughed a lot. Remember the old ones a bit, loved Pertwee from the Navy lark. Apparently these are more true to the books according to an interview I listened to with Crook.

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Solid 8/10 from us.
Mr Crook does pastoral subject matter very well.

Hope they get around to showing this in the States on BBC America
Yes I did and thought it was very good, Worzel didn't actually come across as scary at all.
( as I mentioned in this thread, the first photo I saw of Worzel I thought he looked scary)
