Early Broadcasts

A new year and work continues on my Worzel book project. I recently had the pleasure of speaking to David Coote-Prime, who as a 14-year-old actor appeared in Worzel Gummidge Turns Detective, the first time the scarecrow appeared on-screen.

More than 60 years on and living in Canada, David was able to share a wealth of first-hand information and insight, which really helps to bring that lost production back to life. The broadcasts were performed live and never recorded, so I'm really excited to be able to share David's recollections with a wider audience.

I'm now working hard gathering remaining interviews and material for the book, with the manuscript currently standing at 150 pages and growing fast. I hope to finally be ready to publish later in 2015 and please keep visiting for updates in the meantime.
