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.

动作戏挺好的，进入法庭那里一镜到底很好看。其他可以吐槽的点太多了。香港动作片什么时候能重振雄风？
除了女疯子有点看点，动作还可以。剧情简直太烂了
三十而已售后，拍得挺真实的，反而让人感觉难以接受
气死我了 那个傻逼探长从头到尾在抢功 从头到尾是这个男主角的功劳怎么就被他抢了 那个风批美人杀起人太帅了 感觉不好的一点就是男主的眼睛瞎了
不完整的故事。如何走在一起？为何分手？又如何原谅？一个都没讲清楚😓不过，男女主二搭仍很有cp感～
吴靖萱 还是令人影响深刻，其他的我只能说是真特么的扯淡，太脸谱化了。
看了10分钟，实在看不下去了，这动作设计是真的真的超级烂啊……
几乎不掺糖分去讲平淡开始的普通恋爱中的琐碎矛盾与筋疲力尽。需要单位计量，恋爱就是一团麻烦了
浓浓的网大风，打斗和剧情能看下去，就是除了男女主，其它人演技太尬了！！！
我还挺喜欢孙千的 从她演微笑的时候就喜欢了 然后这电影开头她和毛晓彤走在一起时就觉得 哇 微笑现在长这么高了腿还这么长！真漂亮啊！然后毛晓彤和男主（名字不知道怎么打）一点感觉都没有
之所以特别喜欢，还有一个很重要的原因是，很早就定档了，最后也没有跳票，虽然这是理所应当的事，但是现在的院线营销手段还有这个特殊的时间点，显然太难能可贵了。
对真正喜欢的人确实是“想陪在你身边一年又一年”，有恋爱经历的人看这个电影太能共情力
“今天晚上刚认识的，进展神速”的长MV。幼稚俗套到连对待狗子的态度也是一边说领养就要对它负责，一边不是给它更多的陪伴而是多养只猫？
网大水平，特效和动作，开场的反派动作记，就完全喂动作，拿彩排当正片用的感觉，有点侮辱智商。
就这样吧，一切都会好起来的。
换演员不换套，就这故事完全可以轮流换演员来演……批量生产不是梦……
你以为我要的是房子吗？我要的是安全感！你懂不懂呀！毛晓彤的演技在线。可是，我必须得说。有了房子有了车子有了钱就有了安全感呀。毛晓彤，你懂不懂呀？！
电影其实很真实的描绘了两个人从恋爱到分手的细微过程，只是每个人的矛盾原因不同，分手的方式也不同。两个人的结合就是矛盾开始的起点，如果想选择婚姻和爱情那就做好一生与另一半羁绊。电影最后一句想吃火锅了是开始复合的信号，但是请相信，他们未来还有很长的时间去磨合，需要更加努力才行。
无聊到爆炸的片子，要不是老婆想看，我就走了，浪费时间
为了剧情推进搞了无数个工具人出来，以及无数的穿帮镜头。but由于是网大，多给一颗星，标准降低（。
