Set to broadcast in two one-hour films, this family treat is inspired by the classic books of Barbara Euphan Todd and is pegged to be the TV event of the season. Mackenzie Crook has taken Scatterbrook farm and the infamous characters of this well-loved tale and injected them with a tender and authentic charm. This is the perfect family adventure, packed with a fun, mischievous spirit and delivered with an environmental message.
Mackenzie Crook, (Pirates Of The Caribbean, Detectorists) who has written, directed and stars as Worzel Gummidge, has gathered a host of both accomplished and brilliant actors who are set to appear in this eagerly anticipated adaptation.
Playing The Green Man, creator of the scarecrows, who arrives to Scatterbrook in episode two, is comedy legend Sir Michael Palin. He says: “It’s a lovely part for me, but the whole script is very memorable and touching, and very funny too. It quite skillfully weaves in something for everybody all the time.”
Zoë Wanamaker (My Family, Harry Potter And The Philosophers Stone) will play the eccentric local aristocrat, Lady Bloomsbury Barton in episode two. She says: “The whole thing is so charming and inventive. It’s the sort of thing I’d watch. I’m sure it will be a huge success. I know it will - it’s divine.”
Vicki Pepperdine (Getting On, The Windsors) takes on the role of the formidable Aunt Sally in episode one. She says: “There’s something for everybody. It’s got this heart to it, and you’d be hard pushed as an adult not to engage with it.”
Steve Pemberton (League Of Gentleman, Benidorm) will play Mr Braithwaite, the farmer. He says: “This is the kind of show the whole family can enjoy together. It has a lot of humour, a lot of visual humour too, and I think kids will enjoy watching the children being central to the story.”
Rosie Cavaliero (Gentleman Jack, Cleaning Up) will play Mrs Braithwaite, she added: “It’s a story about the imagination, and children escaping into this different world. Mackenzie’s version is totally contemporary.”
Ones to watch India Brown (Hetty Feather) and Thierry Wickens (making his TV debut) will play Susan and John, two city children spending their summer at Scatterbrook farm who quickly befriend Worzel and begin a summer of adventures.
The first episode, The Scarecrow Of Scatterbrook, sees two young strangers arrive in the village of Scatterbrook. It’s not long before Susan and John encounter Worzel Gummidge, the Scarecrow of Ten Acre Field. Their world is sent spinning into confusion when they realise Gummidge comes to life. The only person more shocked is Worzel, when he discovers that the children are not in fact fellow scarecrows but humans.
Their worlds should never commune but fate has conspired to create an extraordinary union. The seasons have stopped and the harvest hasn’t arrived. The rhythm of the natural world is out of kilter and this unlikely trio must try to put it right. Magic, mystery and mayhem unfurl.
The second episode, The Green Man, welcomes another mysterious arrival to Scatterbrook. The Green Man is the creator of scarecrows and keeper of scarecrow lore. He isn’t at all happy that Worzel is consorting with humans. Elsewhere, local aristocrat Lady Bloomsbury Barton is holding a fete, with a Scarecrow competition that Worzel is determined to win. What will The Green Man and Worzel's most competitive rival, Soggy Bogart make of it all?
Worzel Gummidge is written and directed by Mackenzie Crook and is a Leopard Pictures, Treasure Trove Productions and Lola Entertainment production for BBC One. It is Executive Produced by Kristian Smith for Leopard Pictures, Lisa Thomas for Lola Entertainment, Mackenzie Crook for Treasure Trove Productions, with rights holders Patrick D. Pidgeon and Eric S. Rollman executive producers for Pidgeon Entertainment, Inc. It is produced by Georgie Fallon and Alex Moody is the Commissioning Editor for the BBC.

为了2个小时的笑与泪，为了片中的社会意义，为了一些选择和一些感动。
难道你一点错没有？ 你没贪钱？
故事還是蠻有意思的
代孕最大的问题，人性和母性，孩子很幸运。可以给郑爽看看这部电影。
拍的真好，选择放手会成长。为了他好，会选择退出。但还好，结局很好。
我哭得好伤心。
我最不能理解的是
从题材设定，故事内容，角色情感和演员表现各方面来看都算是很优的电影。故事有转折，所以在看的时候情绪会被牵动，跟着电影里的人又笑又哭回
“所以邓布利多的秘密到底是什麽？”
往喜劇方向看
代孕这个话题太大了，在动机上贯穿了医学父母和代孕妈妈从决定之初到胎儿落地的各种选择，全程伴随着伦理和情感问题。因此也就不难理解电影里面许多想当然的处理了，情节铺展得过于顺利，最后的结局也十分理想化，与严肃的现实比较想必还存在着不小的距离。
代孕真的要禁止啊，这好歹也是一条生命，想要就要，不要就抛弃，感情自己没付出啥，就这么随意，钱也没到位，孩子以及代孕女孩这命运就改变了。最后结局为啥女主要把娃就在自己身边，还给美国人其实挺好，可以有自己的生活，想娃了也可以去美国看他，在美国娃还可以受到更好的教育。
国内也拍过这个题材，可以说和印度差远了，虽然结局也是过于理想了，但好歹也探讨了一些问题
“袜子永远不够穿，圣诞节来了又去，人们坚持要送书给我。”——虽然那未必是句实话，但老邓真的太惨了(┯_┯)
这系列三部电影每部都像是重开了一个系列，不知道华纳想干嘛…好好拍神奇动物好吗？如果想看极品基老伴相爱相杀我会去看X战警。如果不是看在对HP系列的情怀上我就打两星了。罗琳这几年是不是把时间精力都花在网络吵架上了，剧本像是交稿前三天随便写的。
希望不要再出第四部了，直接飞特效而不念咒语的打架方式十分糟糕
非常好的题材，各个社会问题其实都有点到，但是结尾实在过于仓促。无论如何，白人母亲毫无疑问是自私的，她不值得
p.s.全片最佳可能就是纽特的蝎子舞了吧（？
受不了这对白人夫妇了 所以那个孩子对他们来说到底有什么意义呢 有了选择之后又选择放弃 呵呵呵呵呵呵
