Feat. Jon Pertwee, Una Stubbs, Geoffrey Bayldon

Aroview: Oddball and much-loved children's TV series about a living, grubby and rather bad-tempered scarecrow (Pertwee) who muddles through life on Scatterbrook Farm, ultimately trying to win the love of an 'Aunt Sally' doll (Stubbs), who generally spurns his advances. Pertwee's animated and twinkly style lends this much of its eccentric charm. Adapted from the novels by Barbara Euphon Todd.

Note: Initially filmed in England, some later episodes were actually shot in New Zealand!
