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.

翻版《花束般的恋爱》，得出结论一线城市是人类fire之敌
挺尬的。如果不是蔡健雅唱的插曲，就不來看的。
俩人还是很来电的，很甜，就是没看够，片尾再长一点就好了
以白头偕老为目的
平心而论，客观评价一下，作为“北漂爱情故事”，我认为是可以给到及格分的，只不过导演拍得很“剧集化”，作为电视剧集的故事大纲来看，是蛮不错的现实题材。但作为电影来说，的确显得太过平庸和俗套了。电影当然也并非一无是处啦，比如台词，还是很有生活质感的，毛晓彤的表演也到位，杨玏稍微差了些，总觉得他很适合演“渣男”类角色。另外，编剧导演还是蛮会“偷懒”的，故事平铺直叙，以时间线推进作为核心把手，作为电影，还是显得太过平庸了，没有精彩的故事就算了，结构上，也显得捉襟见肘。全片最吸引我的，莫过于对北漂群体情感的细腻把握，我认为导演黎志，是做到位了，无论台词还是镜头，都给到了生活，真实得血淋淋。但总归来说，全片太像故事大纲了，在这么有限的篇幅里，只能浮光掠影式的扫一遍故事梗概，留给观众思考的空间，并不太多！
可是现实不是电影
3.5 意外觉得不错，虽然电视剧质感强烈，感受到的气息是真挚的，被触到了
太特么的难看了卧槽，这是我今年看过的最难看的电影
他们又找回了走丢的爱
因杨丞琳演唱的宣传曲而来，本来以为无非是狗血加一地鸡毛，其实还很真实。
毫无新意特别平淡，可能听身边朋友吐感情苦水都比这个有波澜一点。拍得也很没劲。部分演员演技和台词是肉眼可见的差……
可是现实不是电影
男女其实都没有什么真的原则性的大问题 但是就是分手了 就很现实
给上一部电视剧里的cp留一颗星吧。这电影里分手前的男主角和我对象一样日理万机，全世界都要绕着你转似的，导致我现在感觉到了共振。生活的柴米油盐和爱情真的是撕裂开的，能融合那即是电影。
2.剧本太弱智了。
看到了作，看到了自我和食言，并没有太多相濡以沫…可能片中没有太多的狗血，有的是一些鸡毛蒜皮的小事，会让部分观众感同身受，是不给两星的原因…
没有一点点新意的爱情片，除了毛晓彤还算养眼，几乎没什么可看的地方。
看完泪流满面，那些在一起的日常原来都记得那么清楚
两颗星，多一颗给毛姐，因为我很喜欢她，笑容太甜了。昨天做梦又梦到毕业那天了，好像我还有机会见ex。一直在梦里醒不过来，情节循坏，醒了看了这部。如果恋爱都是这个模式，谈个锤子。在没有恶化之前赶紧分掉吧。我觉得狗真的好可怜。
很普通的剧情啊，但是其实很真实了，爱情淡了，柴米油盐变得重要了，不去拼就没有面包，去拼就要抛下爱人。。。普通人是真不好生活啊
