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.

要不是因为看电影的人很多
太无聊了🥱，东拼西凑的情节。我就纳闷编剧不觉得很尬么？！
十一那天看了个免费的图图
十岁的小孩都看不进去，剧情十分无趣！一分给国产动画鼓励！
前面的片段在动画片的正片上看过，但是也不妨碍后面的立意很好，过渡的很丝滑，在奔忙了一天后看到这样简单且充满正能量的动漫是非常温暖和放松人心的❤️
我不知道为什么，我真不知道为什么。
前面剧情都是拼接动画的，看了之后很失望。值两星，加一星是情怀分。
毫无诚意，拼接+糊弄，不建议四岁以上观看。看的时候场里还是有很多成年人的，那段口水歌舞出来一次气氛就冰封一次，手机屏幕也纷纷亮起来一次…没学到歌舞片的内核，学了个水时长的烂皮囊。
这绝对是把观众当傻子了，没啥播的就别播，把以前的剧情再演一遍有什么意思
没给一星是因为陪我一起看电影的好友看得很开心。
还挺治愈，前面的大部分剧情都在整合之前动画的片段，最后二十多分钟加了一段关爱老年人、去敬老院帮助老人的剧情，可能是想呼吁社会关爱空巢老人。
养老院的老头真的蛮有意思哈哈哈
正义的恶作剧之霸王龙小分队，关爱老人行动，挺好
打扰了，我麻了。真的离谱，基本上都看过，我大无语了。不过小怪说的人类总是一本正经，忘记了自己小时候的模样。
特别是在面恶心善的牛爷爷的影响下，小朋友们还来到了老年之家，举行了一场精心策划的演出，为老人们带去欢乐的同时，也获得了意外的惊喜。
很像缝合怪，都是看过的剧情，一模一样，除了后面养老院比较好，前面真的无聊，明白想引出关爱老人，但是真的欺骗观众感情。
“圆圆的脑袋，大大耳朵。笨手又笨脚，跑步像陀螺。”大耳朵图图是我小时候最喜欢的动画片，大家还记得他的动耳神功吗，如今带着儿子走进影院重温我的童年IP，场面非常温馨。 电影的人物生动有趣，性格鲜明，内容积极向上，倡导关爱老年人的社会热点非常正能量，值得一家人一起去观看哦
电影里面前半部分的很多内容基本上与之前电视的没有差别，所以可以说没有新意
都是以前的剧情，1星你值得。真以为之前tv版的受众不看电影，还是可以捂嘴不说话
还有快结尾的时候的葫芦娃黑猫警长小邋遢的歌曲，上美真真正正的把联动玩明白了。
