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.

网飞已经不是我当年认识的网飞了救命…这个阴间滤镜让本来视力就不好的我雪上加霜。粉发男二我可以
剧场版又重新捋了一遍时间线 最后是he真好啊
新增剧情很少，类似总集篇。叙事穿插了各角色访问的形式。
拉胯的剧情，但男女主的颜值很能打。怎么看的西剧都是这个样子呢？
剧场版依旧使用了有趣的叙事诡计，小小的“调查”与广播剧巧妙地相互联系，让妙子的形象更加丰满了，无论是路人还是老观众看过之后都会感到快乐与满足；篇末对于TV剧集未交代完的内容也加以补足，让人同样心满意足。引起观众不满的地方可能是前期宣发采用了类似“完全新作”之类的说法吧，很是遗憾呐……
只能跳着看两眼男主的颜……女主真的脸有时候会垮，还驼背囧
为了百合线看的，但这片应该是app赞助的吧，小成本电影，主角互相都认识有点无语，不过暗影猎人的女主出落的好漂亮！当时还觉得她挺普通的来着……
女主的毕业论文是他们俩唧唧歪歪的小说日记
剧情没什么好说的，俗套无聊。值得称道的是每一首bgm都特别好听！还有性感的男主，cp感满满。
这是在给App打广告吧，除了Ari那对以外没什么好看的。
谈恋爱的部分没怎么展开，结尾的升华到是可以引发共鸣。普通人的生活也可充满爱意
妈的看完这个电影回头想想Killing Eve的直女编剧对LGBTQ人群可能确实很有恶意，所以才安排了个那么恶心的结局。傻白甜喜剧，看个高兴，百合线相当不错。
真的真的很pointless的一部片，姬线颜值不错，但是好像真没什么看的必要。
两星都给颜值，男主长得确实很希腊神，女主五官优越就是小粗腿时不时让我出戏，剧情非常古早小言，希望国外编剧能多看看晋江文学
前面的部分感觉没啥好看的，只是复述TV版的内容，以采访的形式倒是还蛮出彩的。最后，动物会说话给解释了，其实在看到小户川去动物园的时候就猜到了，果然是他得了病，在回忆中的母亲是人类。
虽然剪辑一般，剧情一般，什么都一般，但还是部很温暖的小电影
总集的部分给我睡过去了醒来直接看到新的内容。。有了个完整的结局就也挺满意的蒽
约会对象是自己老妈也是挺抓马哈哈哈（classifie植入过多很难让人不怀疑这是不是广告
西班牙版的「之后」？不过拍的比「之后」还恶心。根本就没有啥可看的剧情，一路狗血套路到底，激情戏也是毫无看点，各方面都很粗制滥造。男女主颜值也是不如「之后」。总体来说，渣男渣女的狗血爱情烂作，心疼男二。
太刻意了，就在一个非常小的圈子里，所有人都得到了爱情！这根本不能算一个爱情片，这是一部家庭剧！但是非常解压～加一星吧
