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.

Julia选的电影，结局也和我们希望的一样
真爱至上真是个好模板，还算合格的节日童话片
感觉还可以，挺温馨的，打发时间可以看看这个，或者喜欢这种类型的也可以了解一下
其实3.5星更适合这部片子 喜欢温馨氛围的人当然会很喜欢 实在是很适合过年看 再见2021 新年快乐
这个牛逼的阵容配上这个俗套的剧情 简直了
合家欢电影也是电影，大杂烩不行啊。喜欢姜河那林允儿这条线～至少可以欢笑～
不愿睡下、心事重重，睡下又不愿醒来的人，谁不想被允儿这样人美声甜的姑娘叫醒呢
姜河那大发。笑着笑着就哭了，2022还没有实感。
在听觉方面真的不错，叫醒服务真的很…暖…“你是这世上最珍贵的”这样的歌词也真的很打动我…谁懂…也许你在无意中就拯救了绝望的人呢。《废柴舅舅》里，舅舅说他曾经想过跳海，但是，突然闻到了一股味道，好像是很美味的东西，他想，吃了再死吧，结果吃的时候就觉得很委屈，凭什么放着这么好吃的东西去死。我们啊，都是靠着一些小小的理由活下去的。
假如我是半个圆润的红苹果，配上半个椭圆的青苹果就不好看了，可是如果我找到半个跟我一样圆润的红苹果，就算它坏了，就算颜色深浅不同，我还是愿意跟它在一起，也许变久了，我的颜色深浅度会变，它也会尝试改变它的颜色深浅度，过程很累，也不完美，但还是行得通！
今天拿回了手机看完这个才觉得真的从2021来到2022😭明天有动力继续跟工作死磕然后过年咯
灵魂伴侣存在在传说中
罗马城市的航拍，意大利的叠排，两段随机搭配的感情，好的变坏，坏的变好。爱就是随机+平衡，四边形是不稳定结构
错过了气氛最佳的时间，普通日子里看感受上还是差了一点儿，也过了会喜欢这样幼的电影的年纪了。为什么各国欢乐节日的主打是都是迪士尼大团圆呢，明明比童话还不真实，《不要抬头》和《忧郁症》这种的不行吗？
可爱放松的一类片，四个人排列组合都挺好看，洒脱大方的茱莉亚全场最佳，我可太喜欢她了。不需要预设一定要找到某个类型的人才合适，说不定找个反差大的用心处下来也会有火花。不同选择支线的同一场景下镜头穿插还挺有趣的w，四个主角都有可爱之处不讨人厌，所以换种组合排列也不错，唯一的败笔是出轨支线，让两个女角一个歇斯底里一个宽宏大量……怎么看都很别扭。
就是一个情感大杂烩吧，剧情跳转太多了
帅哥美女在好看的地方swtich partner算是partofmyfantasy
Auld Lang Syne，感觉上是韩版的真爱至上……
人会受周围人、环境以及自我心态的影响，此时的恋人也可能是彼时的路人，所以没有什么命中注定的灵魂伴侣，感情是需要经营的。
可爱放松的一类片，四个人排列组合都挺好看，洒脱大方的茱莉亚全场最佳，我可太喜欢她了。不需要预设一定要找到某个类型的人才合适，说不定找个反差大的用心处下来也会有火花。不同选择支线的同一场景下镜头穿插还挺有趣的w，四个主角都有可爱之处不讨人厌，所以换种组合排列也不错，唯一的败笔是出轨支线，让两个女角一个歇斯底里一个宽宏大量……怎么看都很别扭。
