    No country on earth did chaotic children’s television like the British did back in the day 😊 Simply magnificent.

    The original 1970s series of Worzel Gummidge was repeated on Channel 4 in the mid-1980s and was so popular a sequel was made where the character ended up in New Zealand in a circus.

    This is the Wide Awake Club (WAC) not WACADAY. WACADAY was the holiday version that was shown 5 days a week during holidays, this was the regular Saturday (and later also Sunday) version.

    Showing my age, used to be terrified of Worzel when I was little, but LOVED Wacaday! Jon Pertwee was a legend (fun fact, my uncle once met him whilst on holiday in Mallorca!) Love his cheeky humour here. This is brilliant, thanks for sharing!

    I remember diving for a VHS and recording this on broadcast…. This recording misses the bit where Worzel says in response to Tommy Boyd’s French accent “Hello Mr Sellers, I thought we’d lost you” (in reference to Inspector Clouseau)... the programme ended with Pertwee wearing the female presenters spotty trousers as a scarf 😂

    Tommy Boyd always hosted children's TV as though he were being held at gunpoint and forced to act like everything was just fine and dandy. Wherever he could, he'd attempt to subtly communicate his predicament to the viewer in the hope that they'd take the hint and send for help to go and rescue him. Don't get me wrong, I think he was great. But he was looking for an unlocked exit the whole time.
