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.

太感人了，我觉得郎措大哥真的很伟大，压力一定很大吧，这边要生活.照顾老师孩子们，那边又要防着盗猎者的侵袭，诶...世间最幸福的事就是有互相信任互相依靠的人
虽然很喜欢这部电影，但还是想说太突出男主角了，女主的心理活动描写的少之又少，感觉她比男主更加有人格魅力
很温暖很治愈，喜欢这种平平淡淡充满温情的片子。
看不得乖巧的孩子们受苦，越懂事越心疼，实在是很能理解男主为什么会那么舍不得想帮助孩子们
韩松这种老师真的是人生明灯吧，孩子们能遇到这样的老师真的很幸运
演员虽然都不太叫的上名字但是演技没得说，很自然不出戏，哭戏都绝了，眼泪没停过
电影的开头年轻的韩松心里想的为了镀金去往山区支教，逐渐被孩子的纯真、善良感染，留在山区，让我想起了痛仰的一首歌“为了他们的晴朗”，歌词有几句是“当远方是故乡，道阻且漫长，天使收起了翅膀，留在了村庄”“为了他们的晴朗，你带来光芒”，这个世界终有一不平凡的人在做着不普通的事情，很值得推荐的电影。
如果没有遇到韩松老师，僧格将来可能呆在草原上放牧，但是在韩松老师的教导下，僧格当上了消防员。这就是教师的意义吧
跟着主人公韩松一起慢慢融入到藏区生活，当地的风土民情、师生情谊不仅仅感动了韩松，也让观众跟随着主人公一起满满发生转变
藏区的风景真的很美，还有一点印象很深刻的就是电影配乐，和画面结合的很好也很好听。
朴实的藏民 条件虽然很艰苦 不管男主角开始出于为自己的目的只身赴藏 到最后他也是坚持了下来
有一说一，比起天上飞来飞去的无厘头片子好多了，就应该多一些这种温暖人心的电影
很感人。一定要有一个既有学识又有爱心的人留下来，才能让更多藏区孩子走出去。
感情戏不多，男女主感情升温有点快，也没什么细节刻画，师生情刻画的倒是不错。
由男主一个人将孩子们从小培养到高中也是有点儿不容易了吧，关键是从头到尾我都没看见过书本...
知识改变命运，主人公用自己的付出，换来孩子们的出息，换来整个藏区生活条件的改变，这也是整个中国这么多年发展的缩影。
到后面真的喜欢上了所有角色，都是很鲜活的人们努力生活着，就是僧格死了太让人难过了！
孩子们都那么懂事真的觉得太理想化了，都太乖了，调皮的也不是没有但也就那样了
每个风景特写都可以直接截图做桌面了，太美了，总有一天我要亲眼去看看
有时候必须点承认，一个瞬间，一件事情就能改变一生，男主的一句不走了，改变多少人的一生
