Throwing Wurzel Gummidge In The River Tyne..

But do you think 'YouTube' should allow that sort of content?

From the new report it seems as if the BBC/reporters are blaming YouTube for that video where as the fact is, YouTube merely host it.

I personally do not see a problem with it as YouTube content can be flagged and give warnings if the media contains scenes of an adult nature. But would you think that footage deserved flagging?
 
who is worzel gummidge?! dear me kiddies are you all really that young! he's a scarecrow with interchangeable heads. from back in the days when blatant drug influenced television programming was suitable for the whole family. :D

does this ring a bell?

and personally i dont see the problem with chucking someone in the tyne as long as they can swim and they havent got their best shoes on, its a northern tradition.
 
I wondered why its called 'Throwing Worzel Gummidge in the Tyne' expected to see someone throwing a scarecrow off the bridge

:confused:
 
Cant remember em all! I seem to remember a thinking head, i just cant get over how he used to change em!:D Dunno about a kiddies programme it,d be classed as adult supervision nowadays with all these do gooders about(n)

I've had so many good 'heads' it's hard to name just one as they were all deeply pleasureable :devil:

Seriously, I remember Worzel Gummige. Think it was the late 70's/ early 80's, always on late Sunday afternoon? Quite a disturbing programme really, what with scarecrows running around and changing their heads at will! I also thought that Aunt Sally was a righ bitch, wasn't she always horrible to Worzel? Oh and she was played by Una Stubbs (famous for 'Give us a clue'), and John Pertwee played Worzel. Seemed such a contrast to his previous big role as Dr. Who.
 
Wasnt there also the scarecrow man who used to re-stuff(Sounds dodgy!) Worzel? and im sure there were some other weird characters, anybody out there know:confused:
As for the late great John Pertwee, imo him and Tom Baker were the best Dr,s ever, having said that, i must admit that the two latest ones have been rather good and it seems that the Dr might be back for some time.(y)
 
That rings a bell. I seem to remember Worzel getting attacked by birds or dogs and losing all his straw stuffing, which effectively imobilised him. Then the 'scarecrow man' (wasn't he the farmer?) would have to re-stuff him so he could move again? And didn't he used to catch fire when attacked by arsonists?!!!

Wasn't there a girl and a boy who he was friends with too?

And I seem to remember a few episodes where he got drunk on cider. Can't imagine that would be allowed on kiddies TV these days!

Jeez it was a long time ago...
