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.

慢慢的都没有以前那种治愈的感觉，制作越来越随便，故事太急促，三篠如果是和服大叔更得我心。。。
“那家伙也不是只期望着我能保持强大的模样，才一直来拜访我的。”“与渺小的人类孩子像这样一起赏月的事，有天也会成为怀念的回忆吧……”
俺はできぬものには頼まん。お前なら見事果たせよ。果たせぬ役目を与えるなら辛いかもしれませんがお前ならできるよ信じて。/ちっぽけな人のことこうしてみたら月のこともいつか懐かしいことになるのだろうか。きっとあっという間か/辛いよな友人に追いつけないと感じるのは。
又丧又治愈。他说不可结缘，徒增寂寞，他说身边热闹不代表就是充实，他说人类的数十年对妖怪而言转瞬即逝……可共赏的月色如此美丽，总是让人怀念。
观影结束后我甚至想站起来鼓掌👏
小小的三美真可爱啊 片尾曲听着还是很悲伤 虽然悠扬的唱着悲伤被温柔包容 努力的活着
三筿的人形真是帅呐hhh（虽然慢慢知道了剧情大概的模样，还是很喜欢呢～如沐春风的温柔百尝不腻不是吗？）
第二个故事是三筱和他友人的故事，自从放出以后，凡刷到新剧场版就看到有人在夸三筱的人形非常帅，是真的很帅，但是乱用脸。顶着这么帅的一张脸，突然咧嘴一笑，变回原形的过程中，差点没把我送走（夸张了）。这个故事给人的感动会更加深刻，可以看出田沼依旧是非常羡慕夏目的能力的。
“嗯，是啊。”
我看的时候记得片名的翻译是《唤石者与怪异的访客》呀。
还是那么温柔，但是没有一开始的感觉了。可能我已经不是当初那么善良了吧。
挺有意思，中学生能看到妖怪，还有一只猫老大
纳兹米和娘口回来了😭这算是第七季的预告吗？第七季快来吧！！！等不及了！
熟悉的配方熟悉的味道，模糊了时间，不敢相信是去年新出的。夏目破颜拳越来越厉害了哈哈。
有时候觉得夏目的故事可能就只能这样了吧，但有新篇出来时还是想被这样的温暖包围呀。
第一个故事很有趣很有爱啊！第二个个人感觉有点无聊~~~
观影结束后我甚至想站起来鼓掌👏
一个东西能不忘初心的穿过漫长时间保留下来便更显的珍贵。
这个翻译不太对，正确翻译应该是唤石者和怪异的来客
他笑起来啊 还是那么好看啊 呜呜呜 好温柔
