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.

特效好看，场景也不错，故事开个好头，大纲都写好了，内容单薄了，3星半
故事以神奇动物麒麟为线索，围绕邓布利多和格林德沃的斗争进行展开。
Everyone's favorite Hufflepuff boy
2)拔叔好看，真的很魅惑，比德普性感∼#胖子没有未来#(？
就算全南京只有一家电影院开门我也要去二刷
夸不出口（。第二部的哥哥还看上去像是职高辍学会打老婆的体力工人 这一部突然变贵好多！像是会在贵族男高里霸凌nerd基佬的资本主义渣滓了（？
二刷，老邓如此细腻而孤独，哥哥突然帅到国家宝藏高度，我珍贵的电影IMAX自由，如此珍贵。
纽特的扭扭舞萌死啦 克莱登斯用完即弃费力不讨好的大冤种 埃兹拉米勒也需要息影休息 麒麟小鹿斑比 Tina好瘦 缴械咒摸胸电焊四射 格林德沃灰太狼我还会在回来的 奎妮和天选麻瓜要幸福的在一起呀
可能这个ip现在只适合在圣诞节当个合家欢电影了吧，拍得还不如某些圣诞特辑呢
看完了不禁想问这个主角不知道是谁的系列到底还会不会有续集？如果我没记错的话在魔法石里说过魔法世界最纯洁的生物应该是独角兽吧？
我总是没办法客观给这个系列评分的 片头wizarding world一出门我就热泪盈眶 在我看来 只要这个魔法世界还在继续我就永远爱他
在看之前没看预告没看简介，麦叔的格林沃德十分不习惯，总有种正直感，刚开始差点以为是新角色。剧情推进太有问题了，每个场景切换感觉都不连贯，加之前两部剧情忘的差不多有的部分看得有点迷糊。另外，麒麟认主的设定，我一瞬梦回《十二国记》！
观影门槛高，剧情bug略多，但并不妨碍电影的主题表达。格林德沃与邓不利多一个杀戮一个守护的魔法对抗，终于让血盟彻底崩坏。从此，他们各自成为孑然一身的领袖，并为心中认定的世界而战。
这个系列建议腰斩。没有原著作为蓝本的情况下，这个电影的剧本真的无力吐槽…夹杂着大量好莱坞麻瓜电影的各种老土的剧情和桥段，每集电影都以反派大boss吃瘪观众高高兴兴三五成群回家为结果，作为系列电影一点起伏和高潮都没有。正反派阵营的所有角色均扁平化无层次，作为系列电影各个角色几乎没有成长，女主莫名其妙缺席，真可谓是卖情怀也不会卖。
三部曲下来，无论叙事还是人物，都已经黔驴技穷，魔法世界走出了霍格沃兹就难有发展。这一作不仅摒弃了有趣的神奇动物们，还抛弃了观众熟悉并期待的魔法元素，所有的打斗和魔法过招都已经不需要名字，亦没有解释和逻辑，一切都是好莱坞式的爽片套路；魔法世界选举，另两位选举人好似背景板，没有任何的着墨描写，而剧情上更是过关斩将式的无逻辑推进。已经不敢期待下一部，把所有回忆留在《哈利波特》就好
用麒麟选会长的方式实在是太草率了，格林德沃也实在是一个天真的人，手下尽是些卧底，以为掌握了唯一的麒麟，结果还有个双胞胎，以为截获了所有箱子，结果漏掉了邦蒂，以为定情锁能限制邓布利多，结果锁断了，两人的情也就此告终。
为什么这么闷呢，中途打了好几个哈欠，有些地方逻辑很不行
“邓布利多站在空旷的街道中央看着这白雪皑皑的世界，那一刻是真实能够感觉到他的孤独。”
两个邓布利多决斗的时候 我高喊：是邓布利多杀了邓布利多！
有原著粉丝愿意告诉我这个系列有什么好看的吗？看男同在城堡上呲烟花吗？
