Here's an excerpt from that program.London based South African, Esa Williams is part of a unique breed of talent challengingthe electronic music scene. On the program with Willie was actor Gene Lockhart, June Lockhart's father. In this 1988 retrospective, WCAU, Channel 10 ran a clip from a 1954"Willie the Worm" show. He was a mouse and the projectionist for Willie's cartoons. Willie the Worm had a sidekick (never shown on camera) called Newton.
Warren Wright was the creator and voice of "Willie." Willie's program which was aired live, also had a run on the CBS-TV network. On that program, both Warren Wright and Willie the Worm appeared. One segment featured the fifties children's show, "Willie the Worm," a top rated Channel 10 kids broadcast in the early days of television. In 1988, WCAU (then WCAU-TV), Channel 10 in Philadelphia aired an one hour special, "The First 40 Years." It was hosted by Broadcast Pioneers members Herb Clarke and Gene Crane.
