* TheBlackCapOfDeath: In the episode of "The Trial of Worzel Gummidge", after Worzel is found "very guilty" the Crow-Man, acting as a judge, solemnly places a black top hat on his head before sentencing Worzel to be thrown on the compost heap (the death penalty for a scarecrow). Somewhat undercutting the solemness of the scene is that the Crow-Man always wears a black top hat, he just changed his usual one for a different one explicitly for the sentence.
