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.

剧情稀碎，除了营销老年人爱情你还能干啥啊能不能好好拍电影了。。无语
诸君！我要搞竞选！诸君！我虐待中国神兽麒麟了没有魔法peta制裁我哈哈！诸君！我的骗术竟然被你们识破了可恶！诸君！我用谎言骗来的友军竟然背叛了我！诸君！我的前男友也不支持我！诸君！我走了拜拜咯！
典型的剧情套路但是好看，评分低可能是因为前些年韩国电影的飞速崛起把国内观众的期望值拉的太高。
北逃的身份只是吸引眼球的卖点，真正感人的是李克成与韩智宇之间既是师生又如同父子的关系——他们一同研究数学，感受数学的美丽；一同欣赏音乐，感受音乐的优雅；一起吃饭用餐，仿佛父子般亲密——恰巧，生活中，李克成失去了儿子，而智宇也没有了爸爸。
很无聊，不知道想说什么，然后待在电影院空调很大很冷，电影的声音也很大，整个过程如坐针毡……
剧情真的太平太傻了，越往后越无聊，节奏太糟糕了。
杨子荣见个座山雕还要献先遣图，这边法国老黑空着手就去投奔格林德沃了。逗你玩一样被接纳，逗你玩一样委以重任，逗你玩一样成功反水，一个人一转身干掉一条街黑巫师给我看笑了。
我想看的是神奇动物
7.5
不是什么爽的剧情，中规中矩，那个黎曼猜想真的是朝鲜人证明出来的？不可能吧
似曾相识的感觉，但是韩国这个似乎杂糅进更多的名族家国情愫，所以戏剧冲突更多了。既然是数学题材的，最后还是应该在数学本身上升华一下！数学本质是物质世界的基础，是工具，无所谓错对。
不需要麒麟，需要加特林，把导演编剧制片都突突掉得了。
打破偏见 离开舒适区 不要被别人的看法所左右 冷血动物也不冷血呀 爬宠也可以很萌~还是很适合小朋友看的爆米花电影
看完2之後，製作團隊你們自己想想，1到底是怎麼上映的😂 2光畫風可愛漂亮就贏了一大截😂
这一二三可真是一个味，啥区别没有。平平淡淡，不痛不痒。第三部故事性，还相对有些观赏性！关于霍格沃兹的故事，无穷无尽……
我想对你好，可是你不容许世界对我好，可爱的小考拉，是动物园最受欢迎的动物，而丑陋的动物无人问津
槽点太多，不知道从哪儿喷，除了卖萌和卖腐外一无所有的电影工业垃圾。合着憋了这么多年的大招“邓布利多之谜”就是“我妹是默默然”，原著党六年前第一次看到默默然的设定就想到阿利安娜了。大卫·叶茨他一拍电影的，懂个锤子的哈利波特。
3.5，还不错，算是个公路片，但是内容过于简单，也缺少更多的细节刻画。
我们ggad这对老给子在建中互联网惨失出柜权_(:з」∠)_
看爱情故事，那很可以
