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.

Troye is a peach, and he is so so so adorable
要什么男/女朋友，最靠得住的还是闺蜜。导演蛮懂的，戳吃东西的样子真欲。
战争的可怕 我只能看出绝望有些零碎，很残忍，没有忍心看完
这其实就是真真正正的《一起等雨停》的大型MV拓展。而少年破碎的恋爱，永远让人心动且憔悴。六月我遇见了你，七月我爱上了你，八月我离开了你。那个夏天，我们干遍所有情侣干过的事，双座单车的两个少年，游乐场的旋转木马，云霄飞车，童年的秘密基地，甜口还是咸口的爆米花。会有人找能背得出所有奥斯卡女主的人做爱，会有少年全心全意的幻想未来。你说你喜欢Taylor Swift可是最后你却把我变成了Taylor Swift。Troye绝逼本色出演，蓝色的眼睛，抛弃后找妈妈，永远长不大的少年～
戳爷的颜值拯救了平淡无奇的剧情，色彩画面倒是蛮适合这个季节看的。
戳爷这里出的两首歌太好听了，为歌而来。电影就无功无过了，当个小清新糖水还算行，戳爷的颜值我是get不到，但印度小哥长得蛮可以，最后原因竟然是选择学业笑死，亚洲文化正面直刚美国热浪青少年。
印度小哥挺帅的 戳爷感觉逐渐甜茶话 fu*k you cause make me like tayor swift 笑死我了
不过戳爷好适合这种毒舌甜心设定，易碎感和少年的性感都稳稳拿捏，演技也在线，整体就是赏心悦目。
湿漉漉的性感
这部剧演技还不错，超级喜欢后半段拍摄地夏日弗罗里达，景色好美，推荐观看
还有最爱的大卫鲍伊！⚡️
宝贝 你是万里挑一的
完全超出预期，特别棒！ p.s.我戳美如画
1.…见了那个斯拉夫男子，他知道1962年后的每一届奥斯卡最佳女主角获得者，所以我和他发生性行为了。2.…上一次我唱K的时候，我唱砸了我最喜欢的鲍伊的歌，我到现在仍觉得是耻辱。…… 3.看到片中有蛮多中文注释，感觉字幕组还挺用心的，但这样一部美国电影中的英语台词“1805”不直接翻译成“1805年”而翻译成“大清朝”，我表示无语；4. Oh, and fuck you for making me like Taylor Swift. 5.末尾听到 David Bowie《Five Years》惊喜一下，印象中，在我看过的电影里难得有影片使用这首歌当插曲。……
剧情比较平淡，但是意外地让人很想看下去。印度小哥好帅，两个人的暧昧是最激动人心的部分。开放的结局也很好，点明了主题
戳爷好美！！！为了快乐时光我加星了，每个情绪我都吃，印度男孩也好看，好难得。拉拉也好美哦，我咋这么颜控呢，刚刚对苏菲玛索和欧容的片无比挑剔的我，怎么被真正糖水片给beat down了？不得不说转折和结尾挺无趣的，但青春嘛不就是哭天哭地几天没事嘛
歌手就好好唱歌出专辑，别把MV拉长成电影来骗钱。😇
很久没看过这样的电影了 爱情友情亲情 轻松 少年感
好喜欢Dara啊，好漂亮的，有生气的美～
喜欢片头，戳的造型带我回blue neighborhood. Actually it had been years that I haven’t followed him and in this movie he just brings me back to 2015 :( fk I just missing the old days…
