Featured review
since when is New Zealand called Down Under. i'm sure Down Under refers to Australia, The Show Should have been retitled Worzel Gummidge in New Zealand Worzel Gummidge. It isn't the only UK series to do a series or 2 out of the UK shows such as Are you being Served, Doctor Down under' Correct title done in Sydney Jon & Una are the only reasons it worked OK outside of the UK. I don't recall seeing it on TV here in Australia not sure if it was on commercial channel or The ABC TV i got the complete set of Worzel series. ;) Its a great Boxset cheers. I like all the heads Jon used for Worzel during the run and una stubbs was good as Aunt Sally .
