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.

但是但是但是，跟望月步并排的时候完全被压了，望月步情绪几转上扬非常的自然又很能共鸣，完全就是哥哥本人。
如樱花般绽放的爱情，短暂而美丽。快速衰老的设定多少有点难接受，晴人扶起摔倒的美咲而没认出来让人莫名的伤心，而美咲的临别遗言没有提这件事而是把希望留给了晴人。
七分吧。男女主角少年感真好。人生是一场漫长的寄宿生活。珍惜当前的一切。可以看。
剧情虽然老套，主角演技虽然有待磨练，剧本虽然问题很多，但是依然有触动
剧本很不错。男女主演也很用心，情感戏很不错。 中后段有点拉胯。 3.5星
职业: 导演 / 编剧 / 演员 / 配音
冲着夏洛特兰普林选了这部片子，讲述了身患癌症的奶奶在生命的最后阶段和孙子相处的故事，新西兰的景色美的不可言状，老年和青年的碰撞，生命的开头和结尾，选择体面的离开人世也是一件极其不容易的事情。
比预想中要好，原以为是部日式的，甜腻腻的爱情片。后来才发现是部虐恋，而且时间还是如此之长，当中的日式元素多到刻意，有种拍给外国人看的感觉，也难怪奈飞会选他。
这是一部新西兰的电影，片尾年轻人对奶奶的送别，采用了传统的毛利舞，祖孙三代，各有各的问题，而最后能够和解，皆得圆满。
3.5 意外的会觉得不错。画面不错，视听语言结合的不错，小白和阿真命运重合叙事穿插的不错。不过故事剧情挺混乱的，有些地方处理的莫名其妙，有些情节甚至解释不清，但是幸亏整剧节奏还行，姑且当做日式治愈来看吧。因为声画结合真的让人觉得很舒适就加一颗星吧。btw长尾谦杜挺可爱的。
生命，不过是一场寄居的旅程，既然是旅行，为什么不有趣点，为什么不开心些。演员不熟悉，甚至有点青涩，但是，这种小情小调很不错。
我总是在长尾还挺可爱和他好丑之间来回跳跃。山田杏奈真的搭了很多j家新生代。
后半部有点走神 老太太是戏骨 死亡就应该是这样优雅的离去
兰普林塑造的太强了。挺俗的故事。但是兰普林来演就会让我的眼泪停不下来，无法接受剧里奶奶的离世，更无法接受未来某一天…兰普林的离世…
因为都在平平淡淡，除了男主发烂渣比较激动，记不起来波澜，所以结局也没什么感觉。
因为又是被霸凌，总感觉有点若林的影子，当然换核心了，所以肢体上更多的是长尾谦杜。
hd/uhd 又名《关于抑郁的我喜欢上les学姐最终只能选择青梅竹马的故事》
意想不到的还蛮好看的哦 我还以为日本没有好看的电影了呢（
这类设定的电影还是拍成动画比较好，不然那个管理者和旁白岀现还是有点出戏。故事想讲的还是挺好
3.5/She has the construction of a goat. Charlotte Rampling太棒啦，0.5给这个时间，温情家庭片_(:）」∠)_
