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.

老公说这部片女权的表面下也还是透着男权？甘古拜每次成功转折都有男性角色的扶持（再加上女性眼泪的加持）例如黑社会老大、记者、总理？呃…就不能换个女记者吗？！
气质打造得比较成功 但是一些情节转折 包括人物的思想转变方面 描述得并不够清晰自然。
好帅好美！（我的devanagari变好了哈哈哈哈我可太开心了
自立自强的女人真的超有魅力，所以我们国家还要让我们等多久。
好电影有时是会刺痛人心的，被刺痛后才会反思。权利不是乞求来的，而是靠自己争取来甚至是抢来的。改变自己的命运固然令人钦佩，但能够改变或影响别人的命运才值得被人记住。
我不需要被别人告知我该做什么，要做什么，能做什么。我是怎样的想要变成什么样的谁都没资格要求。不是优雅温柔才是好女孩，不是喝酒抽烟就是坏女孩。为了家庭奉献的女性更不能被评价为“一个没本事的家庭主妇”。不要用你自以为的标准来去衡量女性，这不是标准，这是束缚，枷锁，镣铐
看似女权，实则为my合法化背书
印度一平權鬥士因其終身奮鬥內容為性交易合法化而被中國網友開除女籍
你得多单纯才会说出这种话，不知到就去网上找找北京曾经的“天上人间”，东莞的繁华往事，改革开放初期的10万大军下广州（当然不止这点人）。我们和人家比，这方面的事情有过之而无不及。你还好意思说什么国情吗！
黑夜一盏盏亮起的烛火，是无数个被复制的苦难。
up主分析印度女权看到，马一下～
这个女权表现的有点过了吧，各种动作都在模仿男人，还有大佬帮忙，表现的过于表面了。但是故事是好的，人物是令人敬佩的。
PS:与小男友互撩的几段，挑逗推拉，极致暧昧，没有情欲却胜似情欲。
女性中需要每个人都站起来为我们自己奋斗和争取平权，不能把这个世界继续让给另一性别继续“统治”。
Mafia Queen
《甘古拜·卡蒂娅瓦迪》值得推荐。真正的大女主电影，敢言霸气，一路开挂。
在印度这片土地上，女孩注定被关进笼子，只是笼子也有了高低贵贱之分。甘古拜试图让被关进最低贱笼子的女人能呼吸，他们的后代能走出最低贱的笼子，虽然站在历史的洪流中俯视宛如螳臂当车，但是对于当时受到庇佑的人却改变了人生。一个人救不了所有搁浅的鱼，但是每一条被救的鱼都被挽救了生命。明明是浪把鱼拍到岸上，为什么受惩罚的是鱼？出卖头脑是出卖，出卖身体也是出卖，怎么和性挂钩就是肮脏下贱，为什么嫖客隐身妓女肮脏，不过就是男权的女体资源论而已。妓女至少比嫖客高贵多了，至于失足妇女这种高高在上的称呼，比起妓女还恶心。
虽然是传记类的，但不得不说印度电影一言不合就跳舞的固定情节依然是逃脱不掉。
还真是权利越大责任越大
首先，印度妇女的发量，着实的让人嫉妒！这就是一个大女主爽文，凭着一己之力和关键时刻几位伟大男性的帮助，最终成为老鸨之top!没有之一！看评论一些女权批判她让这些技女甘于现状，不想改变命运，啊不然呢。。就一电影，还想看社会主义妇女翻身把歌唱手拿砍刀脚踩男人的桥段么。(ಥ_ಥ)三段歌舞，想快进，但是真的还挺好看。想学印度舞了。。
