He had a tough old time Roald when he was younger, his father died and his sister died. And he asked his mother if he could go and visit Peter Rabbit, so she took him to Beatrix Potter s garden, and I m sure Beatrix was a grumpy old thing who had many children running into her garden, and I m sure she was fed up of it .
Worzel Gummidge: Saucing Nancy – BBC One, 5.55pm
Mackenzie Crook’s reinterpretation of scatterbrained scarecrow Worzel Gummidge is one of the great television moments of the past 12 months, so it is good to have a new adventure for Christmas.
This time, Worzel visits a scrapyard with Susan and John and overhears the grumbling of a foul-mouthed old friend – the carved ship’s figurehead, Saucy Nancy. Nancy would like nothing more than to return to the sea, and it falls to our heroic trio to get her there, which means a rare and rather challenging foray out of Scatterbrook for Worzel Gummidge.
