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.

很多小细节拍的很好
哈哈哈哈好看，喜剧就是要轻松有趣，故事夸张而不牵强，喜欢。
有些话说出来比做到容易，孤独是无可治愈的顽疾。每个人都有问题，“大脑中一直有什么静不下来”，每当认真检视自己的内心，发现从来不能在任何亲密关系里得到真正想要的。男主角圣地亚哥只擅长维持一夜情关系，父女关系、爱人关系，全都一塌糊涂，甚至3P之后，一夜情关系也差点翻车。向海滩情侣交代心事，尽情感受肉体之乐，对比别墅派对擅自狂欢，扰了爱人的清静，该果决时没那么果决，该细腻时没那么细腻。流浪的心啊，想装下整个世界，却只是流于表面的走马观花。男主角没什么成长点，或许导演想呈现的就是庸常生活里人渴求改变又故步自封的状态，看完只想对空气怒挥几拳。镜头色彩颇有质感，莱拉和她的妈妈两位女性角色很美，莱拉跳舞，以及后面妈妈弹奏钢琴的段落，点睛之笔，钟罩蝴蝶一般的美丽疏离。
谈恋爱蒙太奇部分bgm是蘑菇帝国诶🥺（Tokyo— — — — —!!!
我酗酒嗑药吸粉群P就要享受当下你们凭什么不理解我让我不开心，记一个任性虚伪又自私的man-child中年男子的崩溃现场。讲真确实是完全不能代入，但是层层剥开之后似乎也能理解一部分Santi行为的内因。在影片大尺度的情欲镜头之下，半遮半掩的好像也在透露着这一切的成因。成年后的心之所以四处流浪，或许还是因为儿时的无处安放吧。有意无意的一些情节的对立似乎也是一种感叹和遗憾。然而虽然这么说，无法带入仍然是无法带入，我仍然不能认同这样的生活：既然痛恨那被标注为“坏掉“的经历，那有为何不在现在做出改变还要继续伤害自己爱的人呢？当然我们也无需真的去理解和代入，正如我们我们有着毫不相似的人生。片子镜头的美感和冲击是很足的，无论是南美海滩的烟火还是无数健美的肉体，叔控得到了极大的满足。三颗星，就这样吧。
居然能看出这个妈妈演过名校风暴，识脸狂魔就是我
浮华生活下尽是空虚寂寞与痛苦，想握住所有的爱却在不断失去怎么也握不住，嗑药酒精性长伴于身，虽能麻痹自己却难以支撑。最后才发现一切源自童年的阴影，幼年的伤疤一直延伸到成年之后，难以和解，处处破碎。又是一部那种看完要抑郁一阵子的电影，实在是太难受了！
leo叔又一次奉献了尺度，但毕竟年龄在那里，会很显疲态，应该趁风华正茂的时候多拍拍的，这片子某种程度上是描绘出同志面对生老病死的一种选择，但都是谜语人，没深挖，流量的心，为何流浪，心猿意马，为何无法去爱
剧情从中间就开始扯了 但是还是很喜欢拍出的这种若者（弱者）感
女儿好好啊，也好漂亮，其实他们父女之间的关系已经够好了吧。
作。男主是不是有躁郁症啊？真的需要去看一下医生。结局问题也没有解决。另外，他都不用工作的吗？天天闲逛还这么有钱…
上上班喝喝酒打打浑 傍晚时分追逐霓虹 黎明时分逃离旭日 是过往的青春 也是现在
感情生活一团糟的基佬，情感及精神的依托上甚至没有他女儿独立。
秉承了爱笑会议室的幽默细胞，编剧，导演，演员，都非常到位，小成本大精心制作。中国的电影就应该这么拍，看得津津有味，搞笑又不失温情，结局合情合理，基本上没什么明显的漏洞。
挺轻松的，不煽情，不滥情，安安心心，诚诚恳恳的讲个故事，烟火气足够
看失意中年男子尝试走回生活正规可太有趣了
感觉到后面好像能感受到为什么这么低的分了，不过觉得有时候同性恋发生这样那样，那样那样，嗯，但我也是给的挺低的分的。
太有意思的故事，今年最好看的韩影喜剧片。每个人都自带喜感，顺带还把柳承龙给掰弯了，笑死。一家子没有一个正常人，好朋友和前妻谈了十年秘密恋爱，儿子喜欢年长的女人，自己和小三结婚生女当了留守爸爸，却没想到被Gay看上，最后虽然没点明，相信一定弯了没跑。吴政世戏不多，可真是个大恶人。金熙元的哭可太搞笑了。
能够感受到他孤独的内心。这个社会对他来说只有责任。而他心底只想有一个家，一片港湾。所以他在炮友身上寻找仅有的一点温暖。所以他会这么不知廉耻的去打扰前任的生活。这是一个漂泊无依的人，就像前几年的我一样。
以为是个浪漫的开始，结果记忆都是有欺骗性的。在爱情里，我们总是去相信我们想相信的，你说偏执也好，我不管也不听，“喜欢的人就是什么都好。”那些夜晚，我们喝完小酒，吃完宵夜，摇摇晃晃的走在空无一人的街道上，是真实的幸福。
