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 (1979) was Jon Pertwee and Jon Pertwee was Worzel Gummidge (1979).
