Personal Quote:

If it had turned out that Jon had an aversion to scarecrows, or if he had complained in a huff that he couldn't see how his distinguished head could be mistaken for a turnip, we probably would have dropped the project there and then. Worzel Gummidge was Jon Pertwee and Jon Pertwee was Worzel Gummidge. See more »
