!! Worzel Hedgerow Gummidge
The main character: a mischievous, uneducated scarecrow with interchangeable heads for different purposes (dancing head, thinking head etc).
* BigEater: He once ate ''twenty-five'' meals.
* BirthdayEpisode: Exaggerated because all his body parts have a "birthday", but his "bestest" one is celebrated in the episode "Worzel's Birthday" and it's for his main head.
* BookDumb: Seen as stupid but he's actually more naive and uneducated than outright unintelligent.

* MisterStrangenoun: His middle name is "Hedgerow".
