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.

国庆期间只看了图图一部电影，影院很吵但是谁让图图那么可爱呢~🥰哦咪~哦咪~（小怪发音）
东南亚青年电影都患上前热后凉半段疲惫的“热带病”了吗？也不具备《热带病》的憔悴神秘美
但是这个电影，三分之二都在复刻动画片版，直接完全剧情照搬，三集动画片凑整的电影，真的不是在恰烂钱吗?
于平遥，对白楼和楼内邻人的塑造都还有点粗糙，看完细细想了想男主角和他的家人、朋友，觉得很多场景似乎还不太精确，总之觉得成片没有表达到这个题材该表达到的地方，有点隔靴搔痒😂
五分给图图 情怀 毕竟是我小时候很喜欢的动画片 图图太可爱了。一分给幼儿园和养老院结合的情节 选在重阳节前后上映也是可以的。剧情有些感觉完全是之前动画片里的 Emm??? 炒冷饭？
有一些剧情感觉像是童年回忆搬上了荧幕，开头的剧情让我慌了一下，我以为胡图图失忆了。
就是说一些大人别来自己找尴尬 比如我😅😅😅
作为一个看过五季全集的图粉来说 真的狠狠失望了……完全就是把tv版的内容剪一剪，再加入一些细节就这样上映了……制作方您的良心在哪里捏
就是以前的剧情重新画了一遍，缝合怪！！！尬死我了
中间大概一小时都在炒冷饭😅😅，差点没看完就出去，想着买了票，这还是我的图图，硬着头皮看完了。还好最后20分钟算救了场，升华了一下，不然就相当于重温剧版🤒
#威尼斯2021-地平线，5.8/10，科长监制，科长公司参与出品。但是这片子想表达的内容前半小时就讲差不多了，关于家园和梦想的故事。后面都是些碎碎念，试图做一些探索，但并不亮眼。估计会入今年平遥。
以前的内容确实很多
陪崽崽看，他看得津津有味，我打了一会瞌睡。
泪了 不骂图图 但是上美能不能不要这样卖情怀
电影有欢笑 也有感动 更有童趣 有爱心 有启发 助人为乐 尊老爱幼 就从孩子开始
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。
怎么说呢
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。
哈哈哈哈超喜欢胡图图，虽然调皮，可他是一个听爸妈讲道理的乖孩子，有自己的神奇想法，总能给爸妈创造小惊喜。❤️ ❤️ ❤️
