Worzel Gummidge
Worzel Gummidge is a walking, talking scarecrow character in British children's fiction who originally appeared in a series of books by the novelist Barbara Euphan Todd.〔("Worzel Gummidge (1979-81)" ) ''ScreenOnline.org.uk''〕
The books were adapted for radio and television a number of times, most successfully with former ''Doctor Who'' actor Jon Pertwee taking the lead role from 1979 to 1981 in the ITV series ''Worzel Gummidge'', originally produced in the UK and later in New Zealand (1987 - 1989). For the TV series Gummidge had a set of interchangeable turnip, mangelwurzel and swede heads, each of which suited a particular occasion or endowed him with a specific skill.
==Outline==
Worzel Gummidge was a scarecrow that could come to life on Scatterbrook Farm. Worzel stood in ten acre field. He befriended John and Susan who came to stay during the School holidays on the Braithwaites Farm. Worzel would normally land John and Susan into trouble when he was being mischievous, as he would go into a sulk and become a normal lifeless scarecrow. This would lead others to blame the two children for the trouble Worzel caused.
The Worzel Gummidge books differ from the Television adaption. One difference being that in the books Worzel was married to Earthy Mangold. In the first book Aunt Sally (his Femme fatale in the TV series) is only mentioned in one chapter and the character is an antagonistic bully to Worzel. For the Television adaption, Worzel had a collection of interchangeable heads. In the books, the maker of Worzel Gummidge and other scarecrows is not named as the Crowman, but is described as mysterious creator like figure.
