I used to watch this as a child. It brings back memories. Time flys by.

Really sad that most of the cast have now passed away. The memories of Worzel and Aunt Sally and the crow man are still wonderful. This was a magical TV series, in the day, and was so original too. Classics aren't made like this anymore.👍🙏

With Geoffrey Bayldon passing in 2017, just about all of the cast from Catweazle have gone, apart from one young lad in the second series, who also played Peter in The Railway Children. Even Robin Davies who played young Carrot in S1 died quite early. At least some of the Worzel series are still with us anyway....... We were lucky it was made in an innocent way at a time when the world wasn't so great around us, but we could escape to this beautiful idyllic setting for 30mins and pretend our school homework wasn't in the bag, but the smell of a Sunday Roast was wafting through the house 😉

Bring back those days anytime, best era by far, as we were so lucky to have grown up in such a fabulous time. Great memories, wished we could go back in a time warp. 👍😎

I had actually forgotten how many amazing British character actors performed in this wonderful show . They were some of our best that we actually , in a way grew up with them . I was lucky enough to get Una Stubbs autograph when WG played in the west end , she was delightful , now sadly , passed away .

Jon Pertwee at his very best, and with a talented cast starring alongside him. Very sad to see so many have now passed away, I have happy memories of the original television series.

So many great British actors and actresses in the series ! Kids don't get television as good as this today. ☺️👍

Sadly now also gone are Saucy Nancy/Barbara Windsor, and today Aunt Sally/Una Stubbs 1937 - 2021

I met Jon Pertwee at the opening of a night club in Southampton. I was manager of a local band that was supporting his act. He was so funny our sax player could not play a note. During the interval we all trooped off to a room upstairs with Jon. We asked him of all the things he had done what was the most fun. He said without hesitation Worzel Gummidge.

Sadly a few more of them have passed away since this. A massive shock to find out about Charlotte Coleman 33 not an age to pass. However, I watched the show as a child, but did not realise there were so many characters. However, this show had a who's who of the British acting World. I doubt very much that you would get a TV show that has such massive names as this ever again.

Wish there were time machines.. watching this was like remembering things in a past life and I'm 50...

So many fine actors appeared in Worzel Gummidge, a testament to what a quality show it was.
