I know Toby jones guest stars in the new episode as multiple characters, but just after worzel meets up with Susan and John and bites into a raw onion , in the field behind them lance and Andy and looking in a field with lances yellow TR7 parked up , thought that was a nice touch
Right here I've updated my guide to Marvel UK's 'Worzel Gummidge' weekly - loads of art by John 'Battle' Cooper
Today is somewhat of a slower day in terms of entirely new items with just 6 in total. However, that doesn’t quite do the overall amount of new content justice. Case in point, we have the complete All Creatures Great and Small. Putting aside the 3 Christmas specials that were made available in November, 87 episodes across 7 series are now at our disposal. The official description is as follows:
> Peter Davison stars in this much-loved drama from the bestselling books of James Herriot. Follow the ups and downs of life as a rural vet in Yorkshire during the 30s, 40s & 50s. In a rapidly changing era, how will the vets and their clients cope?
The only 2 surprises today are both tied to Worzel Gummidge. The most prominent is the arrival of the initial 2 episodes of Worzel Gummidge (2019). Written by, directed by and even starring Mackenzie Crook in the titular role, this modern reimagining also aired a third special this past Christmas Eve but that won’t be eligible for BritBox UK until at least Christmas Eve 2021. Once again, here is the synopsis:
> Mackenzie Crook writes, directs & stars in this modern take on a children's classic. There's a secret blowing in the wind at Scatterbrook farm... Can city kids Susan and John help magical scarecrow Worzel?
But don’t worry, if you refuse to give this remake a chance, BritBox UK have still done you a solid. Earlier this month, the classic Worzel Gummidge series arrived alongside a large batch of kids TV. However, it was only the first 3 series. Until today. Now the 4th and final series has been made available, meaning that it can now be officially promoted as a complete box set.
And finally, here is everything else added today:
-
Decline and Fall (2017, BBC, 3 episodes) > Jack Whitehall & Eva Longoria star in this richly comic tale of a young man's misadventures in the 1920s. Based on Evelyn Waugh's hit novel, it follows Paul who gets chucked out of Oxford & ends up teaching at a third-rate boarding school.
-
Exodus: Our Journey to Europe (2016, BBC, 6 episodes across 2 series) > Confronting docu-series exploring the treacherous journeys made by migrants in a bid to reach Europe. Filmed in part by the refugees, it captures the terror & desperation faced by many as they travel across land & sea to escape war & poverty.
-
Gok Wan: Made in China (Channel 4, 2012) > Gok Wan explores what 'Made in China' really means by meeting the people who make bras
