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.

虽然说是被一群幼儿园小朋友教育什么是青春，但u1s1确实还挺热血。那些曾经觉得无意义的事，做过的很傻逼的事，都是我们的青春，那正是我们的青春。燃烧吧！享受吧！少年！！
经典不可复制，《老友记》永远是我心中最好的剧，是我向往的最好的朋友，最好的生活。这六个人带给年少的我无数快乐、感动和灵感，真的感谢生活中出现这部剧 @HBO Max
如果你对生活感到困惑，就去看《蜡笔小新》吧。搞不懂的都是青春，无意义的往往充满意义。
Life doesn’t reward everyone with friends that turn into family.
关于长大以后跟朋友差距变大渐行渐远的那段有被戳到😭 话说我也好想养科莫多巨蜥！！！！
第一次看《六人行》是在小学，跟着我姐一起看的。后来自己看就已经是上大学的时候了。为了存高清版一集20分钟就有一个G的10季资源，开了百度网盘会员。人生中总有一个状态，朋友就像自己的亲人，等后来我们有了自己的家庭，这个阶段就结束了。怀念。
17年来只重聚过一次，时间让他们早已不在一个层次了。
柯南剧场版一年比一年失望，小新剧场版从没让人失望。没想到一部子供向的动漫剧场版能达到这样的高度和深度，这让我想起那部大人反击战。
才知道原来Ross和Richeal在拍摄过程中就互相有好感了，Chandler和Monica在一起本来只是个小插曲，由于观众反响热烈编剧就让他们继续发展下去了。
也许我想看的是在某个平行世界中他们六个人过得怎么样了，而不是六位演员的你问我答。3.5星。
风间只是想和春日部防卫队一起变成精英，人啊走着走着就散了，谁还记得幼稚园的朋友啊（emm，我竟然没上过幼稚园）
今年居然是本格推理。青春是恋爱、是义气、是后悔、更是回过头看的微微一笑。而对我来说，青春就是陪我走过二十几年的你们。♡ 春日部，青春，FIRE！
各位主创能够全员回归已经足够惊喜，你永远不敢相信贝克汉、嘎嘎、威瑟斯彭和比伯...能够在一部纪录片里出现。20年，当主演们出现填充过度、皱纹横生和身材走样等时光痕迹，却依然感动于她们重新说起台词时的信手拈来和真情实意，似乎一切都没有改变，她们还是与我们在一起。
当这部剧集成为文化现象后影响地球十几年，用不着原班人马自我展示全球化的具体成果，那种感觉就是，WTF？究竟在搞什么？
不能满足。这么多年过去，只聊了这么一点点。想当年……
“只要我没看，就永远不会完结”
往前总觉璀璨，往后易有欠缺。生活姿态万变，新欢旧爱不再。因为你最特别，从此时光最美。十年点滴，一切都是最好的。
重聚访问明显感觉到钱钱不在状态上……怎么说呢，特辑感觉很水，有些地方又太过刻意，为了情怀不打分了
“没人说过人生会是如此这般，做着没出息的工作又没钱，恋情总是胎死腹中，人生仿佛一直卡在二档，每天每周每个月都不顺遂，甚至是每一年。但我会陪在你身边，因为你也都陪在我身边。”
