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.

作为粉丝向作品可以说是无可挑剔了，剧情简短紧凑，结局处理个人也很满意
太难受了，映司和安库最后的战斗，ooo的故事落幕了😭😭😭😭能够紧握住的手，为什么又松开了呢！映司😭😭😭😭结婚鸟从此更名送葬鸟😭😭
看完之后先是难受，后是愤怒。以ankh复活为噱头，十周年就给了这样一个结局。剧本烂到极致，为了致敬TV版而致敬，节奏太快，映司都没有真正意义上的出现就和ankh告别了，看到映司死的时候整个人就是一个大无语的状态，完全背离了OOO的价值观anything goes，看完很绝望难受，在映司离开的时候ankh有多么的伤心，要怎样怀揣着希望生活下去。一星给演员的付出和努力，一星给情怀。
为了这种一个小时仓促到没头没尾，制作成本也不高，粉丝情怀也没办法得到好好体现的映画，把全员都喊回来出演值得吗？？东映你真的是个抠比，哪怕一个半小时长度也能让制作团队好好拍一下，非搞个这模样是想糊弄谁？
总体上有概念，但细节和承接完全没有，看完是不满足的，刀我可以，但你刀的太草率了吧，一个小时不到就结束。不过，重点重点重点，你结尾的歌曲，不说了，回忆回来了，还是要感谢，起码让我和ooo的故事有了句号。五星，情怀加两星。
就TV的趋势肯定会发展到外传的这个结局的，但还是更喜欢TV的结局，我的映an呜呜呜
虾仁猪心！！我的映司！！！😭
表演真的好尴尬，剧情完全就是仓促和草率，为了演员的回归各种尴尬，剧情刻意到不行。
你怎么可能是不抱遗憾地死去的呢。
即使剧情 监督有点不如人意 但是结婚🐦yyds
海锅：我怎么就不配宝冢男役了😠将类似养老的沉重话题以轻松的方式拍出来一直是霓虹金的拿手好戏，不管是生前葬还是share house，人们都应该以乐观积极的心态来面对衰老和死亡。三谷客串那场戏太有他自己剧本的味儿了😂以及，作为独身主义者的海锅应该早就赚足养老资金了吧，老后一定余裕得很～
真的是十年磨一刀，再也穿不到明天的新内裤了😭😭😭
整体的感觉用一个并不严谨的比方就是：曾经火过的一家餐厅的老板想来一次一周限定开张，把原本的厨子服务员等工作人员都喊回来了，但是从餐厅面积到食材种类数量再到人员状态都达不到当初的标准，结果就是最后做出的菜品你能吃出原来的味道，但大家也都知道不可能100%还原过去的样子……大概就是这样的感觉吧。
这部剧场版虽说让各位非常难过，但对于我来说不差，因为最后还是结束了😭😭
故事很仓促 很多细节没有交代清楚 但是我接受这个结局 be才是让人回味深远的最好结局！
并且在比奈牵Ankh手的那一块皮套都烂了，想圈钱好歹拿出点诚意来吧？
5.5分，卖点是情怀不是剧情，剧情非常的俗套，还有不少bug，但是看完之后内心非常复杂，作为ooo系列最后完结篇本以为会是个普通的合家欢结局，但是他把映司写死了，在一个应该消除遗憾的时候它又搞出了一个更大的遗憾所以就。。。。蛮虐的，就是在强行喂刀子。。
有没有别的骑士能救一下啊 o(╥﹏╥)o
剧情上没说清楚，就是目前最大的败笔，建议让东映多出一点短片补全，比如为什么王会复活，人造greeed怎么来的，为什么映司不用别的形态，还有为什么有两台OOO驱动器，不然真的很烦
情怀够了，剧情流畅，节奏紧凑，不知道还有没有20周年🥺
