Great stuff. "How do you charm a snake? How do you twirl a baton? How does glue glue?." Broadcast on Wednesday May 3rd 1978, according to the TV Times (as show 10, as it says - episodes do get shifted around sometimes, of course). I had this down as series 14, but looking through a tape list of recatalogued/rediscovered tapes from 2010, I think the 1975 episodes were all counted as one series (How X), despite them being split into two runs, so it looks to be officially "How XIII". I'll get a proper grip on this one day!

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 😂

Have just watched this. A great interview, especially his memories of Stan Brehaut. Stan and his wife Marion were good friends of my parents and his daughter was a friend of my sister. He got us tickets to see Time for Blackburn. When he died Fred did a wonderful tribute to him on Meridian Tonight.

I've interviewed Fred for Radio Haslar in Gosport a few times over the years... what a genuine nice guy he is..what you see is what you get!
@Andydroid3367 ай бұрын
I was there on the night and this has bought it all back. What you don't see is he spent about an hour signing autographs and having photos taken with people. A genuinely nice guy and a complete professional who I've grown up with, and I'm 61 now! Thanks Fred and keep on going ✋✋✋

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.

why put a watermark over it, this rare footage could be preserved forever but now it's got your logo on it.

If they've paid for the content e.g. by buying a tape on ebay, then they deserve to put a watermark on it.

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.
