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.

Netflix的风景片太上头了，就喜欢这样轻松又正能量的爱情风景片，带娃看看最好不过了
莫名其妙………… 什么时候假日恋人都值得用这么长的篇幅自我感动了
所谓的现代版改编难道只是选角上体现肤色平等，以及女主打破“第四面墙”的尴尬独白，就很不伦不类，真是糟糕的改编。男主像根木头，眼神空洞毫无魅力，演不出深情味道，男二又过于油腻浮夸。达妹无论是扮相或演技都没有一丝符合这个角色，全员劝退。
从《花生酱猎鹰》到《暗处的女儿》到今年的《恰恰丝滑》，稳扎稳打渐渐走出“后-五十度”阴影的Dakota；一脚被本片踢回原形，真是谢谢【。矛盾的地方可能在于想要进行更具现代意识和很“酷”的更新（对第四面墙的使用很笨拙更是惊吓、同样选择Henry Golding作为花瓶依然不能代表有比肩于《布里奇顿》的彻底娱乐），却又仍然在出品一个很正统、处处充满着拘谨的重述；最终它只留下了美好（美丽）的人，却不能创造更额外的价值。考虑到本片还间接“搞黄”了Sarah Snook和Joel Fry明显更有兴趣的版本，罪加一等！
那个小哥哥其实是不是早就死了，但是当时又救了小男孩一命，大概是所谓的灵魂摆渡？
简奥斯汀还够好莱坞再拍几十年。这一部拍得非常无聊——摇摇晃晃的镜头、不合逻辑的场景、自作聪明的台词、集体掉线的演员。女主的演技仿佛一夜回到解放前。即使是在如此"戏说"的设定下，漂亮的脸蛋也没能撑起直面镜头的独白。
没看过原著 完全是新故事看的 各种桥段还蛮偶像剧的 这电影我看太危险了……
美式英伦风总是糙糙的，人、光、景、对话、故事……
跟着电影去旅行。丹麦米其林大厨到托斯卡纳继承遗产——一座老旧城堡。这里除了有阳光、美景，漂亮的食材，还有童年好友，以及自己与父亲的爱恨。本来我以为片名中的“爱”是指父子之情和童年小伙伴间的友谊，结果非要让马上结婚的小伙伴爱上丹麦厨子，并为此离婚，而且明明是发小意大利律师更帅气，这里的安排还是很牵强的。在损失了大几十万欧元后，丹麦厨子把团队搬到了意大利，谁能拒绝地中海的美丽呢？美景有一些，美食不太多，老外吃橄榄油太猛了。我有点好奇丹麦厨子和丹麦短发女是啥关系，合作伙伴？
韩国电影的场面完成能力亚洲一流 剧本达不到的制作都能找补回来
也就这样 搞笑和灾难一起搞 不伦不类 三个星 送给光洙吧
这就是为什么我恨奈飞……………………最最心爱的劝导就这么被糟蹋了！我在十五分钟看到DJ举着一整根芦笋在啃就应该关掉！！！2022年也不兴这样！
没有看过原著，只作为电影来看，非常赏心悦目。这应该是达妹至今最好的表演，太美好的女性，想跟她做好朋友！
以为是一部美食美景爱情的片子，但这个故事情节确实不是很喜欢！
刨去不切合实际的灾难场景，这灾难喜剧倒是出奇的好看
达妹的街拍造型穿越来电影既视感，以及毫无chemistry的男女主角，绝对不是我心中的劝导，却连改编都乏善可陈
女主本片最美，甩她的姐姐好几条街，所以说选角真的很重要。本片最美又有脑子的女主有什么理由不让男主念念不忘呢？为所谓戏剧冲突而有话不想好好说，看得人真着急。剧情乏善可陈，但是台词精妙，非常得体的表达方式，是我最喜欢的那种话术。结尾两人拥吻的镜头，男主演得很深情。
好尬呀....普罗旺斯，托斯卡纳这些地方的电影，用山谷、海岸、彩色房子、松林、草地、旧木椅和形形色色的美食串起来就好啦...为什么偏偏要加点爱情...
作为轻喜剧6分，
打破第四面墙的伦敦生活版劝导。达妹美如画。延续了奥特姆·代·怀尔德版艾玛的卡通式简奥斯汀风格，但摄影调色都更有质感，叙事调度的技术上也更灵活流畅。诚然劝导的故事本身在简奥斯汀作品中不算特别出彩，但这版依然在略显扁平的文本基础上，通过克制而巧妙的细节，把主角和一众配角都塑造得很生动讨喜，尤其是这版的多族裔选角，亚裔和非裔演员的口音、表演和造型，跟白人主角团融合得很好，没有强行PC的违和感。比较遗憾的是，这版男主的存在感还是被男配吃掉了，虽然Cosmo跟达妹的CP感很够，但Henry Golding的表演更让人惊喜
