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.

治好了我多年的低血压。 没哭，退钱！！！
徐帆说话真挺别扭 感觉像是小姑娘做作的在撒娇 电影院里很多人都看哭了 我妈更是哭的不得了
母女关系是最有普遍代表性的那类，身为子女的观众们看完此片，或许能有效改善和母亲的关系……几天。
看到好多自己和母亲相处的影子 女儿对母亲来说是除法是抵消 总是有吵不完的架 但也总有说不完的悄悄话 所有演员演技都挺在线的
基本套路很纯熟，该哭也哭了。一个女人，为家庭的每一个人操心、付出，放弃梦想，放弃自我，隐忍磨合，最终换来的就是死之前的关注和原谅，实在可悲。试问哪个女生看了想要当妈妈，大家都自私一点吧，说不定还更有福气。

题材很接地气，老演员们的表演很用心，美中不足是年轻演员们的演技。
确实是挺一般的，煽情来得莫名其妙，撕逼也来得莫名其妙。。通勤消耗时间用，幸好没去影院
实在无法喜欢这种直白的煽情，看了前30分钟就能知道过程和结局，所有的矛盾并不是被解决了，而是在疾病面前变得不重要了，但如果没有疾病，女儿仍然会对着母亲大喊很烦，母亲仍然操心全家人却丝毫没有意识到以爱之名的行为给别人带来的困扰，父亲仍然以工作的名义忽视家人。
以为会哭的很惨，但并没有。父亲对母亲的深情、母亲对弟弟的亲情、母亲对婆婆的放心不下、病友之间的惺惺相惜，故事中其他情感，都比母女情动人。母女之间的情感和戏剧冲突，很狗血。
还有，片中在首尾都有讲妈妈的梦想是去南极科考。年轻时本来被录取能去南极的，但是，因为怀孕她自己放弃了。她又自己主动去帮弟弟还债……
舅舅的演技最戳，坐在那里就是狼狈，让人又气又无奈。整个题材就是带着扎心来的，这个母亲身上真的有我认识的太多人的影子，可惜徐帆没演好。明明是个戳人的题材，说实话我看着好难受，就是别扭的那种难受，跟我妈一起看的，我超不想她代入自己什么的，可能因为我觉得里面没一个人过的真好，现实或许如此，但生活本可不如此，我还得担心我没哭我妈瞧着不高兴，也就舅舅那段泪目了。
一边哭一边内心特别唾弃这部电影，把狗血集于一身，为了煽情无所不用其极，抛出了问题却不去讲述解决问题，让所有人哭完了事，所有人的改变竟然要靠主人公的死亡才能完成，但是我相信这改变并不能维持很久，因为他们根本不知道问题出在哪！！看完如果细想，会觉得很多情节极其恶心……#上海寰映影城太阳宫店
演员不错，剧情还行吧。我突然听到赵晓苏声音！
故事是好的。表达方式处理上再克制一些就好了。
有人说又是这一套，但是我就很吃这一套，从头哭到尾，只有又当女儿又当妈妈后才能加倍理解这份感动。
虽然很感人，但还是在宣扬性别角色，用生命消亡转移一切矛盾。
徐帆的演技，一分钟就逼人关机！很好奇冯小刚对于自己老婆始终这演技心里真是的感想如何！

晚上看了《关于我妈的一切》，好像选错了电影，在这样的时期不该看一部沉重的电影。还好这部片子拍得没那么好，母女间的感情衔接很尬，唯一的感动点是张歆艺炒火锅底料那一幕。人生在世谁没有满腔的牵挂与不舍，而谁又不是在生命尽头无奈地松开紧握的掌心？陈明昊和赵晓苏在里面都有戏份，尤其陈明昊，演了一个那么混蛋的角色，却起了个名字叫佩奇。[笑cry][笑cry][笑cry]
