    On a brewery trip to Courage Worton Grange,Reading, after a perfunctory tour we adjourned to the lavish hospitality suite and were treated to every John Smiths advert plus all the ChasNDave Rabbit Rabbit ones on a loop. At least the beer was free.

    20-odd years later, Geoffrey Bayldon went on to do the voice interventions on Paul Hardcastle's The Wizard. Later still, he was the nutty professor character on bonkers game show, Fort Boyard.
    Mrs Ale here, Catweazel was a favourite of mine, but the absolute best was Worzel Gummidge with the brilliant Jon Pertwee, ah what a programme. And of course Geoffrey Bayldon played the Crowman in that too.

    ...and 'Q' in the original Casino Royale. Worzel Gummidge Down Under (filmed in New Zealand) was to kick start the career of the man behind the special effects, Peter Jackson.

    Mrs Ale here - absolutely hated the remake of Worzel, switched off after about 15 mins...

    I can just about remember going to the theatre on a coach from junior school to see Worzel Gummidge with Jon Pertwee. Not sure which theatre to be honest

    Perhaps he hypnotised you with his glowing blue crystal?

    Indeed. These were good too:
