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.

但亮点不是同性婚姻之间的争吵与孩子在特殊家庭中成长面对的问题
3.5 题材不错，切入点也挺好双线并行，青春爱情的部分稍弱，但是整体还是有种抓马的感觉，最后的结局还算不落俗套，意大利语吵架加上丰富的肢体语言挺有喜感的。
有挺高的期待的，但是看完之后觉得很一般。从家庭的角度去挖掘同性的故事确实是一个新的尝试，但是成品质量就很差了。好在，好在，最后两个爸爸没有俗套的和好。
非常好看，起初还以为会像大部分艺术电影一样，直到结尾也不会公布孩子的DNA比对。
关于爱，亲情，家庭，以及社会在其中的影响。非常出色且深入地探讨了同性婚姻及背后细枝末节的议题。
像是在看伯格曼的电影，而不是科恩的，演员摄影补光都挺好，但就是看着无聊，而且虽然华盛顿演技确实好，但还是不理解为什么让黑人来演
女朋友好漂亮，双胞胎也好看
不知该如何评价，也许不管是同性还是异性，背叛总是常见的，反而和子女的感情更加牢固，但我们一定要顺从这样的社会，放纵自己的欲望吗？
没有永恒的爱情，爱情最后不是转为亲情就是转为怨恨。闲来无事随便看看
最后有了两个家。不知道算不算是皆大欢喜的结局。爱的千丝万缕让分开的人还是在一起，不知道算不算是一件好事。
很抓马，但是讲的故事却很有趣。二十年的同性婚姻家庭也会遭遇破裂，没有血缘的孩子依然爱得深沉。真爱会消失，但真的爱过。
非常欣喜能看到如今的LGBT电影能够走出以前的那种题材范围，而探索更加丰富和普世的命题，让同性题材褪去猎奇的外衣，收获更多的共鸣，美中不足的是如果家庭关系、社会环境能够讨论得更加深刻一点就好了，而不是像片中片那样，点到即止，少了些回味。
所以只要有爱，而不要去区分是什么类型的爱。
突破了很多刻板印象的同志题材小品，私心还是希望这对老夫夫最后能破镜重圆，但是也许结局才是真实生活的写照吧。
但亮点不是同性婚姻之间的争吵与孩子在特殊家庭中成长面对的问题
双胞胎兄妹这三角恋给我看笑了哈哈哈
最近看的同性电影中这是我最喜欢的一部，搞笑温馨（？）又贴近现实。发达国家通过同性婚姻这么久，是时候该像这部电影一样讲述gay结婚后的经历，自我认同或者爱而不得属实有点乏味。这部电影角色都很养眼，两个爸爸的性格也没有脸谱化，很好。笑点密集，尤其是保罗，他在周年纪念日晚上吵架那段表现真的太可爱了。电影反转很多，有些稍显突兀，不过总体来说还是处于情理之中。结局还可以，不是合家欢大团圆，也不是物是人非的悲哀。我们总是希望生活能像现在这样永远稳定幸福，但变化总是会来临，接受它然后继续过日子，也没那么糟糕。
题材不错 剧情感觉拍的也还行 可以说是狗血抓马搞笑集于一身了hhhh
其实也就三星，但是为青春少年的本色演出加一颗星。不太喜欢男同夫夫这种中年成功人士的人设，感觉也不太真实，也不能共鸣。
很有趣哈哈哈哈哈好drama 看之前没想到这么drama
