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.

比原剧更平淡无亮点的剧情。好在我本来就是冲着赤楚卫二的颜来的，没有惊喜，倒也没有不满
跟之前浪漫篇的套路几乎一模一样。看起来最有钱那位一般都是小猫，真正的目标往往是演对手戏的那位正义人士。把所有时间线打散，再把所有的角色反转成自己人，一出诈骗剧本就写好了。这次剧本的完成度也不能说不够，但还是更期待电视剧版呈现出来的新意，毕竟再按这种路数写下去，很快就会变成工业流水线。话说三浦春马和竹内结子在哪里出现了啊，从头到尾都没发现，感觉被一年前的日媒报道骗了，也被演员表骗了。
后魔法师时代，安达和黑泽狠狠出柜，虽然小甜剧不期待有什么剧情，不过甜就完事啦
②安达一如既往地可爱，对待工作也很认真，连上司都认可了他的工作，总是考虑别人这点也很温暖
虽然这个系列越来越强行抓马越来越少乐趣，但是看到麻酱笑得龇牙咧嘴的样子还是觉得很开心。
最后的反转出来的时候明显后劲不足
恭喜江口洋介追星大成功！花了几十亿终于加入主角后援团！
好喜欢三人组 但这次真的不行 破破烂烂的剧情 演技也很尬 但是杰西和star仿佛还在
虽然已经毫无新鲜感了，但我还能继续看下去。
kiss还要借位真的有点没意思了😅也确实有点流水账，两人演技也是半斤八两的尬……不过黒沢还是帅的。然后评论说女々しい的………………2022年还在把女性化特征当作骂人的词，我就真的谢😅😅😅
就是不停地反转，虽然有些牵强，长泽雅美的搞笑颜艺有点不好接受啊
这个系列就是你明知会反转，所以怎么反转得精彩才是重点，这部里没太大亮点。有点消费情怀的意思。
这次取景地我都去过美丽马耳他还挺值得一去！但说这剧情依旧老套路看来古沢良太玩不出啥新花样了。就当看长泽雅美颜艺带群老熟人如何耍被骗人就好了。我怀疑他们是为公费旅游而去拍片的？！
电影版非常有诚意，只有五分钟是日剧的内容其他全部都是新画面，内容也很满，很不错的一部剧场版！
感觉就是拍给粉丝看的圈钱片 糖都发了也很甜 剧情上真的觉得有些可惜吧 不能称之为电影
完全十一罗汉化了 全员明星卡司+多次反转与全员骗子。马耳他不错，另外半天没听出来法语…
简单有趣的商业片。
这一集的质量，也就一集sp的质量，剧情抓不住人，然后紧张感也没做起来。
几年一度的日影爱好者狂欢。请继续拍，一直拍。只要里面的熟脸们还在营业，我的青春就好像还没散场。
二刷看完了，好温馨好幸福，又买了几张电影票请朋友去看，大概率会五刷的好电影
