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.

摊手。
霸道少爷爱上我 这俩人加起来感觉没我鞋码大 男主的确很对味💦
小吉的滑铁卢啊…没拍过烂片的生涯就这样被卖拷贝打破了。
比那个after好看 男女主颜值也比那个高 反正就是狗血呗 还有西班牙剧能不能不要每次都是女主旁白啊 啥都是旁白
emm整个剧情就很无聊几度看到要睡着，但是男女主的颜还是很可以的
本来可以给五星，但是这狗屎结局只能让我给一星了。这狗屎结局根本配不上全片爆棚的肾上腺素。狗屎一样的圣母婊价值观。现在的好莱坞简直病入膏肓，如同被step黑人弟弟亲手打死的吉伦哈尔一样可悲，狗屎。
2星半。男女主颜值在线，一些大尺度镜头和男女互撩技巧确实不错，但剧情实在不敢恭维…
看来卖拷贝是要把狂轰乱炸这条老路一直走到黑了 我盗版狗两个多小时看下来都真的很累 进影院的可以考虑出来上个大号放松下
终于看见了腿不那么细的女主角了，and合拍的爱情真的也太快乐了吧，怪不得大家都喜欢搞对象
唯一能get的是女主的颜值和身材🤤
没看完，看一半弃了，除了男二长得好看点，其他的连看脸我都没兴趣，更何况这剧情着实费解……
下次拿西班牙版五十度灰这种最没水平故意想吸引人的yxh标语们长点脑子吧
不得不说 故意弄坏自己家wifi，只为和你搭讪 这种剧情几百年都不过时啊
《变形金刚5》里面的高饱和快切的延续，前者a级成本大作倒是没那么灾难，现在看来简直反人类，剪辑调度是灾难级别，紧凑感很差，不明意义的中景远景切换，至此越发感到r星电影级调度的优秀，警察倒是和洛圣都的一样蠢，论观影体验真的不如去开把太平洋银行，剧本真的没什么想法，配角戏给太多又极其古板呆滞，但总归是正常的电影，亮点在于gta式的奇观，尤其大段城市摄影很精彩，渲染出很多麦拷贝难以把控的情绪。
剧情不行，台词来凑，话唠、密集的枪击以及长时间的追逐战，也不能抵消弱智抢银行的戏码，活脱脱一部低配降智版 GTA
给大家排雷了，喜欢看追车类爆米花电影的推荐看，属于没啥深度看完就忘的类型。
爆炸贝的花俏卖弄的运镜乱七八糟，让人头晕。
为男二号打三星，说真的，50分钟那里，男二号一边看电视一边在床上紧紧搂住女主的那里，我狠狠地心动了，那是我曾经梦想过但是无法实现的生活。
属于看完不好意思标记的那种无脑解压片，成年人的guilty pleasure
不是很懂这个剧情 很俗 一星给性张力 一星给男主的造型
