Worzel Gummidge: Saucy Nancy
5.55pm, BBC One
Mackenzie Crook brings his sentient scarecrow Worzel Gummidge back to our screens for another tale from Scatterbrook Farm. He is reunited with orphans Susan (India Brown) and John (Thierry Wickens) in this feature-length yarn featuring a new character, Saucy Nancy, the gnarled figurehead of a ship who has been languishing in the yard and whose call can be heard by Gummidge and the kids. The gang then set off on an adventure to try to return her to the sea. Ammar Kalia
Carols from King’s
