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.

全钟瑞自从燃烧后的表现从没让人失望，除了最近的纸钞屋太过套路外，本片是个俗套的外壳，有些实话在女主嘴里说出来却共振，没有人永远神采奕奕，更多的是无聊与折磨，日复一日的日子里希望有人会碰见灵魂有趣的那个人吧
女生也会做春梦。因为无聊才会看杂志。在现实生活中很难达到性高潮，在春梦中比较容易。女主很主动呀，看起来很饥渴的样子。男主有点闷，内向。这个社交APP像是约炮用的。女生听到自己的呻吟声会感到兴奋。其实大家都很孤单。成年人的娱乐喝酒、性爱。为什么总是喝酒呀？一口一个，度数不高吗？
看这卡司还期待能跟《最普通的恋爱》一样喜欢，em……不仅叙事能力不行还浪费了两个喜欢的演员，连及格分都没达到。
剧情很一般，没什么新意，但是两位主演很有化学反应，演技自然且在线！孙锡久真的是个宝藏男人，越看越迷人，过分可爱，大狗狗属性无疑～～～
在521这天看一部所谓恋爱缺席的电影，真的好舒服呀。虽然套路满满，然而爱情动人。朴宇里和咸子英，能通过一款配对软件相遇，能在一次次喝酒和性爱中肆无忌惮地聊天，欢笑，敞开自己，了解对方，这是多么难得又珍贵的事情。他们以为那不是恋爱，其实爱情就在两个孤独男女相互慰藉和取暖之中悄悄来临。孙锡久，记住这个名字了，看不下去的《我的解放日志》中的前黑社会老大，一个让人越看越舒服的男人。全钟瑞，《燃烧》和《电话》中表现令人惊艳，在这部电影里也是语出惊人，特立独行啊。
虽然不是我能接受的，但是却感觉有点真实。小全生活演技也完全没问题，下次来部有恋爱的罗曼史吧
No.2366 像是看了一篇爱情小说，节奏挺快的，但是挺有意思。不过也难免需要通过一些矛盾，让男女主认识到自己对这份感情的珍视。很喜欢画面展现的内容，特别是街景，想出去旅游了。男主不算帅，但越看越觉得亲切，像是一位值得结实的朋友。
无功无过的个人励志片，对于体育群体的描述几乎没有。
他们两个好有cp感🙋先性后爱的设定，最后孙锡久这个角色还真的是越看越可爱…郑佳映导演的作品都很喜欢谈谈情
爱情就是高难度情感劳务服务哈哈哈哈哈哈哈，exactly！
扎克的那封信真的太让人感动了，看来这种励志电影没办法拍更多专业的橄榄球知识啊，还想着了解了解呢，不过知道了场上发生了是什么也不错。kurt就是这样乐天派嘛，知道自己要做什么不就是最棒的事情嘛
包装成橄榄球人物传记的福音电影. 正好赶上今年RAMS夺得超级碗，也算是天意如此！ 缺点很多，场地太小，球赛内容太少。比起Kurt的逆袭，NFL拍的TB鞭尸那些比他先被draft的QB才是真的有趣. 最近看Peyton讲细节，真的太逗了。估计没拍这些是版权太贵？
一到想要谈恋爱之后剧情就开始无聊了（就当是恋爱的锅吧
我们有时候真的喜欢这些白手起家的人，因为他们能够让我们在纷杂的社会固化下看到一丝希望，让我们觉得人生总会有出头之日，王侯将相宁有种乎？体育传记类美国拍的驾轻就熟，那么到底是别人真的会包装呢？还是就有这么多优秀的故事可以挖掘呢？？
虽然挺老套，但其实挺韩国的，喜剧加爱情，这么多年依然好用。
我不相信，全钟瑞我尚且觉得真的就是电影里的样子，但是孙锡久这种尤物怎么可能沦落至此！
觉得前面…还挺有趣的..后面的剧情怎么就垮了呢
2022#2部电影：女主太酷了，洒脱不羁！为了孙锡久来的，该说不说，看得心满意足嘿嘿嘿嘿，多一颗星给他（不过前期写专栏这事是真的混蛋）
男女主化学反应很好，应该说是演技好，但是结尾部分有点草率。
非常典型的体育励志片。本以为沙赞跟苏琪搭档会出戏，没想到看到我想哭。带着儿子一起去看的，完全就是因为他喜欢football，没想到自己也沉浸其中。内容上好多地方都是点到为止，而且感情戏有的地方对我来说有点没必要。最喜欢的地方是第一场比赛前zach“写”的信。zach虽然失明，但是一次又一次的否定了别人所谓的不可能，所以kurt也能做到。今天是荷尔蒙喷射的一天。
