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.

电影算是普通人战胜强权的一场游戏梦，游戏的那部分剧情处理得还可以，完成度和制作足以让很多院线电影感到羞愧，学区房这个战队名称真不错。
妈呀，居然好几个地方看哭了....可爱的俩小孩
剧场版没有下巴阴影了，但是经费真的肉眼可见的不足，有舞蹈元素的剧场版，经费不足真的很致命啊……另外副cp设定有点戳萌点，请第二季尽快提上日程好吗！
若你喜欢怪人其实我很美?
尽管处境龃龉逼仄，精神却寄托于轻快明亮——总要努力活下去啊！在不堪的人生里，邂逅闪耀的灵魂，再度鼓起内心的勇气，眼前的狼藉也变得清晰，生活的疲惫也变得柔软，在这座极北的城市或许常年寒冷，可我拥抱了你，便从此只拥抱温暖。
会看这部sp，拒绝看番剧的原因是那版人物的脖下阴影实在如鲠在喉般看着难受
Humm...just so so... 不是很能get到
1准备做坏事和做了坏事的感觉真的很糟糕
另外剧作里丰富的颜色让人赏心悦目，如果舞蹈部分多画点细腻点就更好啦！
尽管处境，绠短汲深，
爱情本应如此简单又温暖。除此之外的都不是爱情。
与你一起活着的这个世界，既悲伤又如此美丽。
就本片的质素，网大的头衔可以去了，完全可以上院线。
还原度和代入感都拉满了
这剧情真是tm气死我了，那个女一做那么多坏事，活该过的不好啊，男一对你那么好你反过去坑他是怎么一回事，最后还道歉，爬，女二长得好油腻，动作表情也油腻，难看，还有男一但凡换个难看点的演员，我都不会这么大反应
女主一直撒謊一直被誤會
爷爷真帅……话说制作人那对不考虑再出一版吗🥲真的很感兴趣就是说
。
妈呀，以一己之力拉高网大平均水平，冲冲冲！故事背景、人物设计、配的音乐和玩的各种梗，真的就是同龄人的电影，有的小细节还很细腻，为同龄人打call！
丰富了很多配角呢，好期待制作人和作曲家哦
