Fire Drill
Prismark1027 April 2024
Mrs Bloomsbury-Barton wants to hold a fundraising event and decides to hold a bonfire. Outside of the usual November date. They have already held a garden fete and a flower show.

Mr Braithwaite offers his old scarecrow to be burned in the bonfire. Worzel Gummidge runs for the hills when he hears about his pending fate.

Once Worzel puts his thinking head on. The children decide that another scarecrow should be built. A decoy for the bonfire.

Only the scarecrow that Worzel makes with the hands the Crowman constructed. Makes the new scarecrow come to life. Something that cannot be thrown into a bonfire.

It is left to the Crowman to come to Worzel's rescue. Or else things will get very heated for Worzel.

It very much is carry on save your head for Worzel. The folk mysticism was very much downplayed in this version of Worzel Gummidge. It is clear this episode riffs on it with the scarecrow coming back to life.
