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.

与其它的皮套大战不一样，细节感拉满，本乡猛儿子变成新的一号，近年来最好看的一部剧场版
在电影院看的。明争暗斗，为达到目的不择手段。在现实中，结果比过程重要；在电影里，过程比结果重要。鉴于我对政治类电影不怎么感兴趣的缘故，只能给三星了，个人喜好问题。
这次打戏不错哦，星辰龙必杀终于帅起来了，世纪和01印章赶紧出小人吧想买
思念，未来，传承，假面骑士！
最失望的是，最佳拍档的分道扬镳居然是因为道德选择……我看的是TVB吗？药剂师就应该升官发财，如果一方阵营不珍惜，另一方阵营就可以当秘密武器，最后是谁的损失呢？
剧情设定上其实还可以再打磨打磨，但是确实是近年来剧场版里比较精彩的了
景色和女主太漂亮舒服了，女主整个人是很阳光的存在，一直都是带着笑跑的，而且是阳光忠犬小狗勾的类型😢最后都被拒绝了，但她还是吻上去了，虽然片子基调还是be了，但是还是有一丝甜的最后一个镜头。我挺喜欢女主这个人设的，她活得非常的随心，一些选择放在别人的生活里，可能十年八年都选不出答案，她直接当下想如何就如何，不会考虑那么多🥹东亚人真的羡慕惨了。片子风格挺法国的（虽然不知道法国风格是什么，但是很有国别特色hh）
还行吧，特效确实不错，但特摄方面就有点拉胯，文戏一般般，但也还算是个佳作剧场版了，就是跟01剧场版和深罪三重奏比还差点火候
3.5/5 法国电影真的只有法国人才能拍出来啊！不及阿德尔曼夫妇。自私是人的感情的一部分，有的人的自私显得自己魅力无边，有的人的自私显得自己佝偻猥琐。
前面铺垫太长了以及女主真的没有什么魅力，鲁莽又自私，她跟随自己的欲望而行，然而当她对emilie的欲望殆尽后，结局依旧如同前两任，突如其来的爱没有铺垫，奇奇怪怪。 但emilie真的太温柔了，听她说话如同读诗，她一出场bgm都温柔起来了，绝对梦中情姐。低开高走（前面真的很无聊，多次想退出。
属于年轻人的大胆、热情同时又幼稚、脆弱，年轻人要对抗的不是时间，只是自己的直觉，似乎想要就可以得到一切。
这次文戏质量还不错，不过其实底子里还是有四十周年的老本:父子+电车+时间穿越+修卡科学家。
对横冲直撞、以自我为中心的人无法共情或者产生好感……Anais终于安静下来听Emelie说话的时候是我在整个观影过程中最舒适的时刻。勇敢和直接能够拥抱爱情，可是我想拥有事业啊！
结局作家想分开那里我挺不理解的，太反套路了，迷恋了一整个夏天却说断就断，还好女主握住她的手腕挽回了
拍历史片采用化名的一个好处是：可以避开一些观众钻牛角尖式的细节控。对一个成年人最好的赞美是：虽然经历过种种险恶和不公，TA仍保存着善良和真诚。
虽然搞zz的没一个好东西，但看到那么多ccp玩剩下的那套还是差点看的生理性反胃。首尾两个版本偷鸡蛋的故事很棒，薛景求真的绝了，真就韩国版的贝尔，每部电影都完全看不出是他演的…三星半。
挺漂亮的，不过结尾我没看懂，抱歉，但是部好电影。
影子军师热烈追随甘心臣服甚至迷醉不能自拔，但并不代表主仆之间理念信条的契合与认同。博弈层递、胜败诡谲、善恶悖论、忠奸莫辨，才更具张力。
往后看还挺逗的，五颜六色的铠甲，七嘴八舌的大小号，五光十色的特效
阳光，海，充满生气的阿娜伊斯，好美的一部电影
