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.

每次遇到自我的矛盾，克制情绪，爆发，都会选择逃避，却也渴望亲密的关系。
看完很焦虑，每个人时常都会把生活弄得一团糟，每个人都需要自我救赎
😭
直男和弯仔互相依靠竟是主线！😂几条罗曼史都是传统意义上的禁忌之爱 电影的中心思想是好的！
dianxingde典型的日剧，吃饭看不错
每次遇到自我的矛盾，克制情绪，爆发，都会选择逃避，却也渴望亲密的关系。
如果不是莱昂叔，哭了，不管了，leo叔全都五星
不是很能融入进去的感觉，部分台词和表达情绪的方式不是很理解，男二伤心的样子还是很帅的，最后结尾有些烂。
很喜欢三个人在凌晨的街上跑的场景和alien的场景。很讨厌分别前那次床戏，尬得我脚趾发麻，毫无美感也毫无必要，像个低成本porn. 看到是女导演我都惊呆了，女导演的床戏品味也这么差啊。黑岛结菜太可爱了，但是恋爱过程没有细节全是MV，最终还搞一出无意义的反转，不知道这角色是要干嘛。凌晨的街上也有我的magic hour，它们也确实消散了。（幻月字幕组开始做日影了，太感谢了）
秉承了爱笑会议室的幽默细胞，编剧，导演，演员，都非常到位，小成本大精心制作。中国的电影就应该这么拍，看得津津有味，搞笑又不失温情，结局合情合理，基本上没什么明显的漏洞。
今天我人生中第一次吃烧烤，外甥外甥女辛苦了，都很开心，我今天晚上得发个红包
配乐很不错。
只有题材是浪漫喜剧（豆瓣这片名谁瞎翻译的？）好笑好哭懂得都懂，导演能把这种耽爆款设定拍成电影上映还找了柳承龙来演也是nb
My loneliness is killing me/my loneliness ain't killing me no more
如何寄托同志的心？其实只有丰富自己的精神世界！
我不该看的……全程没有我的笑点，叙事也没什么意思……
以男主为生活圆心的所有人都是一团糟，异性恋不懂如何爱，同性恋不懂如何爱，年轻人不懂如何爱，中年人不懂如何爱，所有人都在拼命找自己，最后发现亲人就是自己的意义……真是够了……
在家庭狗血爆笑喜劇和溫馨男男韓劇間反復橫跳，所有笑點虐點也都在預定範圍內，這類片可以看但也沒什麼可說的，忠武路現在也就剩劉承龍對喜劇還有點輸出了，還能奢望啥呢
大家都喜欢看《花束》，尤其是文青，但这部貌似更贴合现实，在毕业后就被大厂磨平棱角磨灭激情后，哪有那么多兴趣爱好相交的甜甜的恋爱，不过都是梦幻的泡沫罢了。年轻时可以通宵畅饮圆觉寺，黎明时分正常上班；年轻时可以挥洒称霸涩谷的豪言壮语，可以在大床房的床头睡醒后听完iPhone4s播放的《エイリアンズ》，但现实呢？现实是“我到成田机场了”，现实是“你的印章得斜着盖”。【幻月字幕组】
