Worzel Gummidge began life as a 1936 children's book called Worzel Gummidge or The Scarecrow of Scatterbrook by British author Barabara Euphan Todd. It tells the story of two kids who are staying at a farm in the country and meet Worzel Gummidge, the farm's scarecrow who can come to life. Nine other books were written by Todd; she later penned a radio show featuring the character and a 4-episode TV show for The BBC in 1953.The character's biggest success would come several years after Todd's death, in a live-action TV series starring former Doctor and childhood fan of the original books, Jon Pertwee. The show lasted four seasons in the UK and an additional two were made in New Zealand. The Pertwee series had many radical changes from Todd's original stories, such as eliminating his wife, a scarecrow named Earthy Mangold and making another supporting character, Aunt Sally, who was his real Aunt in books, his one-sided love interest, and adding the Crow Man, Worzel's creator. Worzel would become more identified with Pertwee than even the Doctor, to the point where when the Holy Spirit received his body at Putney Vale Cemetery following his death in 1996, a Worzel figurine went with him.A new series closer to the original books was made in 2019 with Mackenzie Crook starring in the lead role and two episodes were produced, followed by a third in 2020. A fourth episode was also set to air in 2020, but production was halted due to the COVID-19 Pandemic. The episode, along with two more, were broadcasted in 2021. | |

Comedic Work, Serious Scene | |
| Worzel Gummidge / int_1849f58e | comment |
Comedic Work, Serious Scene: The majority of "The Scarecrow Wedding" is just as comedic as most of the series, but when Aunt Sally changes her mind about marrying Worzel, he cries. He then has a philosophical discussion with the Crow Man about how he's able to be sad despite wearing his "happy head", even wanting a "miserable head". | |

Ambiguously Human: The Crow Man. He seems to have magical powers and Worzel claims he's hundreds of years old, but he could easily be a human with powers and Worzel can't count (unless he's wearing his arithmetic head) and often makes things up, so the Crow Man might not be hundreds of years old. | |

Clothes for Christmas Cringe: In "Muvver's Day", Sarah Pigswill (a walking scarecrow) gives an old boot to her "son" Worzel as a gift to celebrate their reunion. He doesn't like the gift (although that's somewhat justified since even though he doesn't mind wearing worn clothing, a single boot isn't much use) but pretends to be excited to be polite. | |

Better Partner Assertion | |
| Worzel Gummidge / int_7433754f | comment |
Better Partner Assertion: In one episode, Worzel can't decide if he wants to marry Aunt Sally or Dolly Clothespeg, since he's equally in love with both. Each woman tries to claim she's better because she can do something (bake a cake, stand like a mannequin, etc.) only for the other woman to claim the same. | |

Personalized Pledge: In episode "The Trial of Worzel Gummidge", Worzel accidentally throws a potato at the Crow Man (the guy who built him) and is put on trial to determine if he threw it on purpose. At one point, he swears on the life of his pet robin that he didn't do it on purpose. | |

Psychic Powers | |
| Worzel Gummidge / int_874176be | comment |
Psychic Powers: Apparently, Worzel always knows where the Crow Man is. When asked about it, he says that he "get[s] a sort of tickling in [his] head and this tickling tells [him] where the Crow Man is." In one episode, Worzel asks the Crow Man why he (Worzel) is not allowed to gamble when the Crow Man is. The Crow Man says that he was not gambling because he was betting on the fact that there will be snow on the Town Hall roof on Christmas and he actually knows that. Judging by that (white Christmases in England were far from certain in the 1970s), it's possible that he can predict the future. The Crow Man always knows where his scarecrows are, and which of them committed misdemeanours such as knocking his hat off. | |

Black Cap of Death: In the episode of "The Trial of Worzel Gummidge", after Worzel is found "very guilty" the Crow-Man, acting as a judge, solemnly places a black top hat on his head before sentencing Worzel to be thrown on the compost heap (the death penalty for a scarecrow). Somewhat undercutting the solemness of the scene is that the Crow-Man always wears a black top hat, he just changed his usual one for a different one explicitly for the sentence. | |

In one episode, John wonders where the man is that his dad went in to see about a dog. When Aunt Sally says that she "wouldn't be caught dead" at Worzel's birthday party, he tells her that she shouldn't show up to the party dead. Sue once points out that Worzel is a "scarecrow, not a scarestarling" when Mrs Bloomsbury-Barton wants him to scare starlings. John also once says that pigeons are not afraid of scarecrows, because otherwise they'd be "scarepigeons". | |

In one episode, Worzel (a sentient scarecrow) is in danger of being put on a bonfire. Worzel is so scared of fire that he disallows anyone to mention the terms "fire" and "bonfire", so the Crow Man uses the terms "conflagration" and "pyrotechnics". | |

Comedic Underwear Exposure: Sometimes, Aunt Sally ends up upside-down and you can see her bloomers. | |

Running Gag | |
| Worzel Gummidge / int_f9f2c33 | comment |
Running Gag: Mr Peters not knowing about agriculture and making mistakes. Worzel, Aunt Sally and others eating and throwing desserts. Aunt Sally sharing them unequally in her favor. Worzel being naive/uneducated. Mr Peters treating gambling like it's important and the kids asking for lemonade and crisps when he gambles. Aunt Sally boasting and having no idea what she's boasting about. She also seems to have a fascination with Egypt, Bulgaria and Romania for some reason and wants to marry their royalty, but is ignorant both of the actual titles that their royalty held and of the fact that all those countries had abolished their monarchies decades earlier. Worzel wanting to marry Aunt Sally. Worzel thinking other humanlike things are scarecrows (sometimes even humans). | |

Eyelash Fluttering | |
| Worzel Gummidge / int_fa8e599c | comment |
Eyelash Fluttering: Aunt Sally starts fluttering her eyelashes (which rattle when she does so) at a circus strongman named the Great Orlando, who she finds attractive. This makes Worzel, who has a one-sided crush on Sally, jealous. | |
