I'm glad I'm not the only one. I fking hate Worzel Gummidge.

I hate his accent.

I hate his dirty face.

Worst of all, and it still gives me nightmares at the age of 41, is the shed with heads in. Who the fk thought it was a good idea to have a kids tv show where the character has a shed with heads in. It's like he's some sort of sick serial killer and scattered all over the countryside are decapitated scarecrows. I also used to worry about what would happen if he headed into the shed to swap a head but then having removed one head managed to fk something up so he fell out of the shed with no head on and couldn't find his way back. There would then be another headless scarecrow wandering the countryside like a straw filled zombie.

Aunt Sally used to freak me out as well - she had wheels instead of feet. She was like a dalek in drag.

Awful, awful show.

Why mollycoddle children? This is a fine primer for life.

If you live in Norfolk, anyway.

Here one of them suggests she better watch it or else get hacked up with axes. Disturbing stuff.

Cheers for that, I'd forgotten just how utterly creepy this show was. It'll probably take another 25years to get that out of my head.

I'm glad it's not just me that thought this was a head-fk show.

My dad had a mate who owned a pub who, for reasons I never understood, had a lifesize Worzel and Aunt Sally. I'm surprised the place had any customers!

Nowt wrong with a bit of Worzel, unless of course you were a fully paid up member of the bed wetting fraternity! hehe

On a serious note just realised the young girl in the clip was Charlotte Coleman from Marmalade Atkins and Four Weddings fame who died from an asthma attack at such a young age.

Theres a old woman called Gill that lives in a caravan on Broadoak Road in Canterbury,she's the woman in the orange jacket that pushes a pushchair around Canterbury full of bread if you see her, she draws red circles on the sides of her face like aunt Sally.

Now there was a show!

Always had a bit of a 'thing' for Charlotte. Died far too young. RIP.

I used to love that show when I was a kid. Never had any weird episodes due to being exposed to 'severed' papermache heads or women with wheels either.

It probably helped it was filmed just down the road from where I lived though......so it all was 'normal' wink
