Worzel Gummidge to 1979 to 1981
Southern Television's production for ITV was written by Keith Waterhouse and Willis Hall, and starred Jon Pertwee as Worzel, with Una Stubbs as Aunt Sally, a life-size fairground doll and Worzel's femme fatale.[3] This was a significant change from the original books, where Aunt Sally is, in fact, Worzel's aunt. The Crowman, who made Worzel and some of his other scarecrow friends, was played by Geoffrey Bayldon, better known for his starring role as the title character of Catweazle. Bill Maynard also appeared as a scarecrow called Sergeant Beetroot.

Worzel Gummidge Down Under
Television New Zealand and Channel 4 co-follow-up series that ran for two series in 1987 and 1989, with Worzel Gummidge and Aunt Sally, still played by Pertwee and Stubbs, relocated to New Zealand.

In 2018, British media reported Mackenzie Crook could be starring in a contemporary adaptation of the Worzel Gummidge books in a new TV series for the BBC.[4] The first image of Mackenzie Crook as Worzel Gummidge was revealed on 7 June 2019
