All 31 episodes from the original version of children's TV programme Worzel Gummidge are being restored from archived negatives.

Several Hampshire villages were the main filming locations for the series in the late 1970s and early 80s with Jon Pertwee starring as the loveable scarecrow.

A special showing of the first three restored episodes is being held at the BFI on London's South Bank next month.
