Worzel Gummidge

I remember the original from years ago and it bought back memories. The casting was good and although a simple story it's very enjoyable and entertaining. Mackenzie Crook makes a good worzel and it would be nice for the BBC to explore making a series of it as it's different from some of the things on telly today.

I used to love the classic series with Jon Pertwee, so I had my reservations about a reboot, in reality I totally enjoyed it, as did the whole family. It was fun, entertaining and just lovely. Mackenzie Crook was excellent as Worzel Gummidge, I thought he looked incredible, and gave a very good, sincere performance. I wonder what the future holds for this show, it was pure escapism. Steve Pemberton gave a fine performance, the youngsters were very good also.

Instantly made me feel nostalgic, and dig the original series out.

A charming series. 8/10

When i heard it was being remade i had my doubts but this is very well done. The story the scenery the music and the acting are all good. Its an English folk tale in essence. Well done Mackenzie i look forward hopefully to more episodes.

A very good hours of TV. Beautifully acted and filmed. Would love to know whereabouts it was filmed (recognised Luton Museum in Wardown Park) but scenery was stunning. British TV at its best

I have just watched the first episode of this two part series and found it wonderfully imaginative even for a near 70 year-old like me. Mackenzie Crook played Worzel to perfection with his words of wisdom and the robin chicks in his pocket was a nice touch. The two children, having experienced a little bit of magic in their lives, reacted with a sense of wonder that I would have felt at that age. I hope that a longer series is planned for 2020/21. I will be watching!
