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.

实话实说，故事性从Q开始 就开始各种坑，这最后一部圆的也是云里雾里。盘子展开的太大，前后不通。 序 和 破 才是真的 还原TV 然后改进TV 做的几乎完美。这一部就整个故事而言，真的只有2星，给三星 我是给了情怀 毕竟等了这么多年。 我严重怀疑 痞子自己都不知道 自己要在最后一部表达什么。所以拖了这么久
谢谢庵野，谢谢所有的EVA。“凌波”翻看的绘本，《小不点与豪猪》里的“小不点”是庵野夫人，同样是漫画家的安野梦洋子的漫画作品名。
恋爱开始的原因也是分手的原因噢，没有什么能够一成不变。
我突然觉得中文里缺少一个专有名词，形容「恰好看到了想看的电影」的感觉。不是我对它有所期待，而是无意间发现、观看之后，感情和感觉都得到了极大的满足。
“如果女生告诉男生花名，男生这辈子一旦看到那种花就会想起那个女生。”
おやすみ、おはよう、ありがとう、さよなら。
“你为我做的那盒午餐便当非常好吃，我想当时我喜欢上了你，但我比你更早成长为了一个大人。”
抛去党争，这部新剧场版无疑是满分。即便作为香党有些不满，但我仍然要给它满分。至少它展现了一个人从狭隘的偏执到从容的和解的过程，挣脱了沦为大家贩卖痛苦的谈资的境地。Eva今天就像一个陪我走过艰难困苦的老朋友一样和我告别了。我会怀念它的，怀念看它的日子，也怀念和朋友谈论它的那个盛夏。 さらば、すべてのエヴァンゲリオン
小绢没有告诉小麦那朵花的名字，可是爱了四年的人已悄然生长为心底的一束花，在雨天、在文学电影音乐里和每一个曾与你一起的瞬间盛放。
过于日系小清新啦，作为爱情片很难打动我，不过日系的观赏性就在于服化道，室内布景看着真舒服，虽然是小屋但两个人蜗居也是温馨。剧作在男主的转变上做的铺垫非常不够，对他的社会性背景交代太少，直观感受是社畜之所以打败爱情还是因为两个人过度缺乏沟通，所以两个人的矛盾点并不能说服我。一点感悟是：两个人在一起要朝着和而不同努力，有共同点是小幸运，也要接受差异性，彼此多讲废话，学会置换身份，先爱自己，再和对方大方分享这份爱意。（55）
真嗣一一向大家告别成长为大人了。
被采下的花束生存几率为零，可每个人都相信自己的那束是个例外。最难过的是地铁上偶遇那幕，只有声礼貌的招呼，没有任何靠近对方的意愿，仿佛对方是沉重而避之不及的社交负担。PS：彩蛋未免太多，在ktv那里听到蘑菇帝国激动得差点跳起来
还有比这更好的结局吗…大家都长大了啊，真好。我也算长大了。
2、从十岁看到三十岁，原来这是爱情主旋律，还是三人纠缠，最后海咪咪美女捡了漏；
碇真嗣的所谓成长，就是勇敢面对选择，去牺牲一部分人来完成所谓的人类补完计划。
哪个（曾经的）文艺逼不喜欢这种报菜名电影呢？太多relatable的话题和瞬间，最后餐厅的镜像后劲太强
对比起25年前的毁灭和那句“你真恶心”，这个结局足见庵野心态变化
没看懂但很满意，宇多田光是神（最好看的还是序和破
其实可以算是拐点了
谁不是从小就看过来的，（你该长大了）这种屁话用你说么?老子都多大了。
