Worzel Gummidge

Worzel's Wager (3x5)


Air date: Nov 29, 1980

Worzel has a dead cert racing tip courtesy of his Robin so, as he is desperate for five pounds, he decides to place a bet. Unfortunately though before he has a chance he’s thrown out of the betting shop when it emerges he has no money. Meanwhile the rest of the village, including Harry, are gearing up for the annual dog race. Worzel however is still no nearer to fathoming out a way to make his five pounds so he decides to take a nap in a field and, as if things weren’t bad enough, he gets caught up in a combined harvester. As usual thought the Crowman is on hand to put him back together. Once repaired the Crowman gives Worzel a task, to look after his dog, Ratter, for him whilst he goes to fix another Scarecrow, ‘Scratty Swedehead’. As soon as the Crowman leaves Worzel has an idea. To enter Ratter in the local Dog Race.
