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.

比较无趣，俗套，肤浅的性话题。故事简单，没有故弄玄虚搞点精神拔高也算勉强的可取之处。
两个有特色的类型演员的爱情轻喜剧，歪打正着还挺有趣。被发现自己写了他们的经历那一段，确实感受到男人的恳切和真挚的感情，心疼了一下。但多少觉得电影选角还是差一点，与整体贴合的感觉有点距离，多少影响了一下入戏。
你能想到这个一脸腼腆、不会恋爱的男生—孙锡久，就是《犯罪都市2》里那位凶狠毒辣、杀了13个人的大反派，就说这些演员演技是相当不错的。
情节还是老套的，表面上谈性，实质上还是在说情。孙锡久和全钟瑞的化学反应比预想的要好。
励志典范，哪怕看不懂橄榄球，依然为影片传达出的力量感到激情澎湃。
有当下性的话题，交友软件，先性后爱。但最大的问题是没有给出男主为什么喜欢女主的充分原因，感觉就是睡了然后就自然喜欢上了。氛围也没有营造出心动的感觉。
可是怎么会上头之后才发现已经把他演过的东西基本都看过了，救命啊没有售后了我真的会谢🥀
22_016。就是一般的恋爱电影，没啥特别感觉，结尾有点弱了，全钟瑞全场都很灵
和具氏完全不一样，像是会摇尾巴的大狗狗，孙锡久啊我的做梦素材。
拍拍贫乏都市的话痨片，但是不是韩国也是县城感么，就乡村爱情。女主大概就是中医肾虚血虚感。但是男女主中间喝酒聊天的戏拍的非常有意思，金句频出。
中了孙锡久的毒 妈的 这男人怎么能集欲跟丑萌为一体呢 要去重刷超感猎杀了 女主性格赞爆 希望也可以这么酷 可以直视着人痛快的随心所欲说话
最终恋爱没有缺席，如期而至。一眼望到头的熟悉剧本，全靠全钟瑞的部分加分，她好漂亮好可爱再带点小性感。
两个本应该在文艺爱情电影里相遇的男人和女人一起演了一部小妞电影，怎么说呢，总感觉杀鸡用牛刀啊😅不过，二位真的都太迷人啦，喝酒聊天的部分很有趣!
草根理智的主题虽然很普通，但作为传记电影算的上好片。
很喜欢孙锡久，全钟瑞也不错，但本子真的so boring
55555555什么时候再来一部melo体质嘛(⑉꒦ິ^꒦ິ⑉)
剧情也是没什么好说的。但还是很喜欢，看得很开心，喜欢都市氛围，有几段台词和片段很亮眼。最重要的是这个cp，只能说搭这个组合的人真是功德无量，孙和全都是看日常照普通，但到镜头前一颦一笑都千言万语，两个人势均力敌荷尔蒙噼里啪啦溢出屏幕，太养眼
期待过高，没想到能这么无聊。浪费cp感。估计直接拍成情色轻喜剧也能比这个有意思。
一晚上连看了国王瑞查德和美国草根，抛开价值观和国别，共同的价值观应该得到提倡
故事平铺直叙，大部分场景都是描述爱情家庭，看不出和其他草根球员有什么区别，至于为什么这么屌不得而知，也许是天赋吧
