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.

很用心的片子，让我有再看一遍大话西游的冲动。缘起缘灭，浮生若梦，我能做些什么来慰藉活这一世。还会再见吗？
一星打给吴孟达
作为免费网大，水准不输许多院线。
剧情的bug太多了，但是紫霞的颜值我还是很喜欢的，再众多大话西游衍生翻拍剧中算是矬子里面拔大个，当一生所爱音乐响起，还是不由自主的鼻头一酸湿了眼眶！四星鼓励，应该还有下一部！期待！
诚意满满的网大电影了！感动哭了！三世情缘真的太好哭了，两个人相互奔赴相互成全，好多地方几乎都是周星驰版大话西游的镜像。呜呜呜，女主越看越美。
感觉到了诚意和新意。缺点就不说了吧，有一部新电影能够怀化也算不能。
一部看到名字就会想吐槽但是被up主推荐的网络电影，好喜欢这版编剧（看剪辑就哭了怎么回事）节奏有点太快了想看好好剪辑的加长版！为什么分这么低！
故事很粗糙，情感设计还不错，金箍棒坠落盔甲飞来那一刻也小小的燃了一下。男主演员很黄轩，女主虽然不够朱茵那么秀气，但好在不是整容脸。
至尊宝:“姑娘，我们好像在哪里见过“。紫霞:“我们还会再见的“。大话西游yyds
对不起我看的山寨版，但不要这么辣眼睛啊，这至尊宝好丑好尬啊，尬死我了啊，卧槽我吐了啊，，，俩不网红脸的灯芯值两星
算是及格吧，笑点一般般，情节逻辑有些地方也尬尬的

相当用心的网大了，但是也是原版bgm加分太多了
粗看之下，整体的感觉高于网络电影，但是低于大制作电影。特效不算五毛，但是感觉很尬，就是那种游戏cg的感觉，不搭。
这有达叔还不够吗
导演兼编剧同学应该也是仙剑的粉丝，里面有不少仙剑的影子，比如：片头的锅勺敲头；片中的御剑飞行；甚至紫霞仙子的言行举止里都有一些林月如的味道。
但是在细节的处理还是网飞剧的配置，剧情上总觉得这只猴子的情感缺少了什么，最重要的是反派的口音实在是让人无法接受！！！希望大话西游不要再被消费了，我心中的至尊宝和紫霞仙子就留在那个城楼上吧。
●还是蛮不错的，挺有感觉。剧情简单了点，致敬了许多经典。
三星中肯，不褒不贬，这个主题被安排了20多年，算是一个不太圆满的句号吧。
致敬达叔，作为网络电影质量可以的，特效也不坑人，剧情嘛勉强过得去
