Worzel Gummidge Down Under, adapted from the books written by Barbara Euphan Todd and the children's television programme produced and broadcast in the United Kingdom named Worzel Gummidge, starring Jon Pertwee. The story continued in New Zealand when Aunt Sally was sold to a Museum owner.
1987
When Aunt Sally is sold to a 'Museum of Folk History' in New Zealand, Worzel manages to stow away with her for the long journey Down Under. Reaching the town of Piwakawaka from Wellington airport, however, proves far more problematic.
After befriending a local pair of schoolchildren, Worzel sets out to rescue Aunt Sally from the museum. Finding it first closed for renovation, then multiple Aunt Sallys when he eventually gets inside, proves a fine source of mischief.
The Crowman seeks to put Worzel to work in another position after finding his post deserted yet again: as a clothes peg. But then he spots Aunt Sally's dress on the line...
Worzel causes havoc when he and Aunt Sally find themselves on a private golf course with a very snooty male captain.
Whilst the Crowman is being hounded by a travelling scarecrowmaker who wishes to take his powers, Worzel is mistaken for a scarecrow king by the Crowman's latest creation and uses the opportunity for all its worth!
Worzel sends for his heads to be sent from back home in England, but trouble at the museum sees Aunt Sally being captured by the Travelling Scarecrowmaker.
Worzel is hot on the heels of the Travelling Scarecrowmaker but struggling to contend with his dark magic. Their encounter begins when Worzel is distracted by a funfair: can he reach Aunt Sally in time, and rescue her without his brave head?
The Travelling Scarecrowmaker returns. Still intent on making Worzel one of his un-living scarecrow slaves, he kidnaps him in the middle of the night.
Stricken without his crystal ball, the Crowman sends Aunt Sally to free Worzel but she is given short shrift and repeatedly returns without him. Is all lost, or will the Travelling Scarecrowmaker yet be beaten?
It's one of Worzel's many birthdays - his third this month, in fact - and he intends to hold a tea dance to celebrate.
