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.

一般般一般般，传统温情喜剧片，就是从全异性恋的模式有了拉拉的加入罢了。
没看过动画的不建议看！剪的太碎，会跟不上故事节奏。就是个総集編，新的故事就最后10分钟。选在愚人节上真是选对了🙃
镜头突然给到翻找避孕套、拆开、戴上的全过程好出戏，一瞬间以为我在看性教育宣传片......隔段时间就想看看欧美teenager们的青春校园片，看电影就图个乐，看俊男美女肉体狂欢，画面又这么精美，享受到赏心悦目就是我赚啦，管它有没有什么内涵不内涵的呢！事实证明我这辈子接受不了圆寸，哪怕是在男主这种雕塑帅哥头上，以及粉发小哥好cute，黑发就普通了。
虽然这是剪辑的，但是看的就是好好哭，我的青春啊
谁不喜欢简单轻松又愉快的HE呢~
西班牙版麻雀变凤凰玛丽苏霸道小开爱上我 男主身材好颜差了那么点意思
开头还有点意思，后面继承家产的霸总剧情在搞什么东西？ ？？画面倒是拍得挺好看。
男朋友没看过TV版，结果他觉得很无聊，看得睡着了。这种话痨一般的叙事结构哪里“odd”(奇巧)了，简直是化神奇为俗套。
氯气与玫瑰同时存在，才是爱情真实的样子。事业和家庭的责任，梦想与现实的分离，一切看似不可解决的困难都有了完美的化解。
如果你只是想知道TV后续的话，那么duck不必花这个影院钱，直接跳到最后五分钟，虽然完全并不值得一看🙄🖕
前半部分（篇幅占比最多）类似纪录片，大量回顾+对羊驼等角色的采访；后半部分是动画结局的延续。男主的运气还是比鸡块偶像好一点。
这个故事其实，知道了结尾之后没有让人想要再看一遍的欲望，所以还是只看剧就OK啦
纯纯弱智玛丽苏涩情片了……但本土狗还是看完了，为什么呢，大概是因为难得碰到欧美青春剧有正点帅哥还不是gay的了55555

太太太太俗套了，伤害到了我的眼睛。不信浪子会回头。
过程中居然联想到《驾驶我的车》，有些症结真的需要所有人都帮你一把才能逐渐解开
终于不用看到两个人在社交软件上相遇然后炮火连天的俗套恶心情节了……女医生和花店老板实在太可以了……
总觉得是classified的广告啊🤣为了解决波折的姬仔们加一星
If you want something, don’t wish for it. Life is too short to wait.你若想要得到，就别只是期望。人生短暂，经不起等待。
没有剧情🤭 PS:我要是有长这样的男闺蜜干嘛不吃窝边草啊😇
