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.

喜欢这种《真爱至上》类的多线叙事的群星拼盘节日温情电影，今晚看这个可真应景，去年这时候看了韩国一部《新年前夜》，满世界演，今年这部故事浓缩到一间酒店，从平安夜到圣诞到跨年到新年，什么元素都有了，但综合起来一句话总结:林允儿靠美貌和笑容救下一个寻死的屌丝。新年快乐！！！
突然想起很多年前的那档台湾综艺节目，雅倩你猜你猜你猜猜猜。
女主是属于五官大的那种好看，男主像鼻头稍大的黄轩，两个主角都不讨厌，同行衬托，比大部分网大好。吴孟达的遗作，在这代人的脑海中，他从大话西游来，最终又归于大话西游，宛如宿命轮回。
20分钟，看不下去了。合家欢电影的整体节奏一定是要把控很精准的，必然不能像剧情片或文艺片一样的循序渐进，而本片显然没有做好。尤其那段乐队成员再次见面的围着桌子转，镜头语言到底想说什么？郭在容的野蛮女友真的只能算是惊鸿一现了。
学意大利语的轻松一刻就是看看这种不用耗费大脑的电影：）
冲着达叔看的，剧本故事倒没什么问题，不过大话西游本身结构就这样，衍生出来的剧集讲来将去也就那样了
好像选对日子看电影了跟着倒数迎接了2022
韩国也有这种明星大拜拜的片子啊，郭在容简直是导了个长小品。。。
配对转场有时候需要反应一秒钟。做一半苹果。
有点意思，势均力敌可能一开始更契合，过程中却很难发现彼此的问题得到成长，但会像原谅自己一样原谅彼此；互补则是一个比另一个更成熟，一开始可能互相排斥，但是慢慢接触反而加速另一个成长达成同样的生活节奏，从实验的结果看，互补的两对矛盾更少或者说往往会被成熟的化解，说到底需要双向奔赴但又能一方主导最好，双方要强或者同样多愁善感也能在一起但是比较累，要找个和自己完全一样的对象还不如单身，自我不就是最好的知己？但是找个需要磨合完全不同的又不得不迁就讨好即使主导也是麻烦的很，还是不如单身自在啊。爱情家庭是否让自己人生更完整？这确实需要自己找到确定的答案。
俗气又怎么样？甜甜的恋爱不好吗？不，好，吗？
当作贺岁片看看熟悉的演员们，评分不想太苛刻。权相佑那段客串有点小惊喜。李栋旭侧颜无敌。允儿又变美了。期待徐康俊的回归。
比想像中好看～最喜歡姜河那和Yoona的故事線；李光洙和徐康俊的Bromance很好笑；老年CP很感動；韓志旼和李陣郁的Love line戲份不多有點可惜；李棟旭和元真兒的Love line很奇怪...
爱情就是要带点蒙汗药，骗自己的喜剧总是爱啊
全是熟面孔
生活点滴的里的爱情，如人饮水，也同时是各持己见，好的坏的自己判断
（而且为什么一定要整一对意难平呢。。为什么不把李栋旭欧巴和允儿凑对cp呢。。
这不就是韩版真爱至上吗 不过还是又魔幻又可爱的
罗马城市的航拍，意大利的叠排，两段随机搭配的感情，好的变坏，坏的变好。爱就是随机+平衡，四边形是不稳定结构
和2020年上映的同類型電影《新年前夜》碎片化故事穿插不同，這部聚焦在飯店展開故事線。劇情尤為平淡，每條線都無功無過，李棟旭元真兒這條灰姑娘線甚至有點多餘，姜河那的角色故事相對有趣些。剩下的就看看快成暖男專業戶的金英光和唱歌的徐康俊了。希望2022年跨年檔電影能夠好看些。
