Worzel Gummidge - Episode Guide

Two young strangers arrive in the village of Scatterbrook. It's not long before Susan and John encounter Worzel Gummidge, the Scarecrow of Ten Acre Field. Their world is sent spinning into confusion when they realise Gummidge comes to life. The only person more shocked is Worzel, when he discovers that the children are not in fact fellow scarecrows but humans.

Their worlds should never commune but fate has conspired to create an extraordinary union. The seasons have stopped and the harvest hasn't arrived. The rhythm of the natural world is out of kilter and this unlikely trio must try to put it right. Magic, mystery and mayhem unfurl.

We're back in Scatterbrook as John and Susan prepare for afternoon tea with the village free spirit, Lady Bloomsbury Barton, who is busy organising a charity fundraiser that includes a prize for the best-looking scarecrow. Worzel sees a chance to put his 'good looks' to use. But trouble is afoot once again in Scatterbrook, this time in the form of Worzel's childhood foe Soggy Bogart and his biker gang of scarecrows, aka the 'Trubblemakers'. What's more, unbeknownst to Worzel, his watchful creator Jack Woodwose, aka the Green Man, has been lurking in the wings and doesn't like what he sees. Can Worzel come to terms with his purpose in life?

Susan and John visit a scrapyard, where they meet Worzel's old friend Saucy Nancy. She is a carved ship's figurehead, and she wants their help to get back to the sea.

It's the build-up to Bonfire Night, and a new face has arrived in Scatterbrook. Worzel's cousin, Guy Forks, has taken his rightful place at the top of the bonfire, but an argument between the old friends leads to a competition to prove who can do the other's job better. With the Bonfire Night Committee distracted, Guy convinces Worzel to swap places, but it soon becomes clear that Worzel has bitten off more than he can chew. With Worzel stuck on top of the bonfire, John and Susan turn to Aunt Sally for help, but can they find a way to rescue Worzel before time runs out?

A flock of rare birds arrive on Scatterbook Farm, giving Worzel an opportunity to challenge his scaring skills, but those plans are quickly ruined when a group of birdwatchers move in. To make matters worse, the twitchers' arrival forces Mr B to come to face to face with his old birdwatching rival, Lee Dangerman. With the twitchers refusing to leave, can the children come up with a plan to help scare the choughs and save Worzel and Mr B from embarrassment?

FR Peregrine's travelling fair arrive in Scatterbrook, which Worzel desperately wants to attend but can't risk being seen by the humans of the village. So, he seeks out a magical organ which legend says has the power to send humans to sleep, allowing scarecrows to enjoy everything the funfair has to offer. At the museum, Aunt Sally finds herself agreeing to go on an adventure with another ex-fairground attraction, Calliope Jane, and it turns out Worzel isn't the only scarecrow who wants to attend the fair. As the scarecrows descend, the risk of being seen intensifies, but will the legend of the enchanted organ turn out to be true?
