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.

一开始有点劝退。但是后面再看觉得还好，导演这种视频沟通的拍摄手法还挺新鲜的。
一镜到底终归是一种方式而已，总感觉像一个刚拿到摄影机的毛头小子，好奇心促使他一头冲进职场，左拍右摄的看见啥都兴奋，尽情的收进镜头，一直开机还忘了关机的路子。要想讲好故事还得靠内容，不要太贪恋这种手法哦。
拖了很久，看到第二季出来了，才下决心看完。也因为拖了那么久，没太带入。小演员们很棒。不过看完突然想重刷《电影爱情故事》了。
血腥又搞笑，人们排长队来买人肉，真的这么好吃？
法国人这思路真的有点意思 这么残忍的故事拍的这么黑色幽默 看完感觉俩人没那么深的罪恶感 事实是很残忍的 这字幕组也是挺有才的 还翻译到人肉叉烧包了 服了
我晕死 万万没想到互攻型选手！！ 没有剧版好看 剧情也抓马前期比较尬 后面结局还行 但是大嘴包小嘴的吻戏真的好出戏啊哈哈哈哈哈哈怎么会那么好笑
“baby”
4.5！！！首先一镜的手法就要给大分！再加上所有人的完美演技+怼在你面前的精神压力啊啊啊啊啊
赤成的恋人太感动了 两人互相帮助 有时候和用游戏互相攻击
科科伊演得好棒，感觉真就是俩小情侣。他演的其他剧也都不错。甜甜的男友、爱情谁不想拥有呢，虽然困难重重，只要还在一起就行。
法国人把一个恐怖题材拍成了一个风格非常复杂的影片。很意外全程没有让我恶心到看不下去，抛开情节，有些画面构图居然还很美……
依旧可可爱爱俩小哭包 他俩在某些桥段的演技真的好自然 特别是得知myra阿姨患病后那个相拥而泣的部分
按摩那一段真的有趣，确实有点暧昧，难怪老婆来了句：如果你像对待你的肉一样对待我......
因为有同一个演员，还以为菲律宾羞耻之作《网红男孩》怎么出第二部了，原来有部剧叫作《游戏男孩》，那行吧。全程感觉像在看两个小男孩在谈恋爱，我果然不适合看这样的剧。
真的好看，有笑有泪，演技自然，看剧情与第二季预告，第二季应该是第一季与大电影之间的剧情吧，大概可以估计第二季很日常保证he，接续电影的话应该还有第三季，期待
表現方式上，盡管是一鏡到底卻流暢自然，在狹小的空間里卻收放自如，導演敢於信任演員讓他們在這個場景中真實地承擔著每個角色的真實狀態。幾句話，一個表情就把形形色色的人描繪出來，兩次間隔很短的“救護車”的出現將崩潰表現出來。影片只是表現了一個半小時的餐廳營業，卻通過把形形色色的人勾勒出來，每個人都像是鍋里的濃湯，各自沸點不同，而當低沸點統統蒸發時，此時熱油才開始焦灼並毀掉一切。
宝贝宝贝的叫得真酥……疫情期间，大家纷纷入住别墅，两组恋情……恐同阿姨引发传统的出柜问题……主角二人终于啪啪，结尾开始远距离恋爱……算是合格的大电影，节奏略慢，不知会不会有第二季～
科科伊演得好棒，感觉真就是俩小情侣。他演的其他剧也都不错。甜甜的男友、爱情谁不想拥有呢，虽然困难重重，只要还在一起就行。
两个爱哭宝
真·一镜到底，这个本身就保证了剧情的连贯和紧张（全程都在找剪辑点？人家关上门的时候镜头都在动），再加上一个在重压下焦躁不安的主角，一个半小时真是很快就过去了
