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.

都是童年回忆，为啥我感觉是童年阴影，现在看来也感觉阴间
为什么都说师父死了？看的版本不同吗？小时候印象最深的是缸里出来了好几个爸爸，现在看原来是个中国版好奇心加持的普罗米修斯的故事。
县知府：不倒翁，官运亨通两边倒，剥削百姓有一套。
1、几只狐狸和小孩怪可爱的；2、仙人像普罗米修斯，不过技术有点儿落后，有现在的复印技术，人人都有一本天书不是梦；3、天庭保护天书的护法也太简陋了；4、天庭罗汉式的设置挺好，希望仙侠电视剧能参考；5、小孩就是仙人的继承人（克隆体）吧，一模一样的标记😄；6、几个狐狸很天然，很野性；7、山水园林的场景好评，让我想起小时候房子里挂的山水画；
寻寻觅觅多年终在电驴上下到高清版，太爱蛋生了~
正在下载中...啥时候下完呀.
成年人在一人包场观影的电影院里睡着了💤，可能过了儿童的年纪再看低幼动画片就感觉十分无聊，自己在侮辱自己智商吧。
7/10。最后的奔跑想到《大人帝国的反击》，日剧跑真燃啊~借着推理外衣批判精英教育，小新剧场版依旧有锋芒，但让本就成熟的五人组来讲青春是否过早？新风官方糖最甜的一次了吧，动画的仁慈就是他们永远5岁，永远是朋友。
我欣赏里面对于权威的嘲弄，从玉帝到皇帝，都是王八蛋。
小时候自己看过 后来上初中了和妹妹一起看过 再大了又和姥姥一起看过
中国现在连一部像样的动画片都做不出来~像天书奇谈这样的动画片太珍贵了~
中国美术的精髓，用最少的线条创造最深入人心的形象，就说狐女那个媚气，无出其右。现在的国漫追求视觉元素最大化，越发繁复，却难抵深刻之实。断层过后，无法不怀念这种纯净。袁公被绑走的时候哭惨了。
之前看过，yyds，这次4k重制又去看了！好可爱，好有趣啊！美术风格非常特别也很漂亮，年代感很重，配音太棒了！而且那时的剧本真敢写啊！
和普罗米修斯的真正相像之处是内在的悲剧精神:悲剧艺术家不是悲观主义者,相反他肯定一切可疑可怕的东西,富有启迪意义的一切不幸都是正当的,英雄的悲剧让人感到生命的丰盈,悲剧英雄不怨恨,只馈赠。片中所有主要角色身上的力都相当复杂多元,甚至蛋生也不是严格的伟光正型男主,而是轻盈快乐和善于变通的。
唯一比较失望的是因为其鲜明的主题，内容上没有更大胆的创新，本盼着出现几个像铁扇公主里一样让我惊喜的镜头，最终是没有看到。
20年后，小新再一次用拼尽全力的奔跑让人流泪🥺这次是为了那些哪怕会被称作「无意义」却依然的拼尽全力。看到最后，突然想到最开头：「妈妈，我不能呼吸了」“这是一星期份的抱抱”。啊啊啊啊啊啊～美伢🥹🥹🥹好感动哇～～～
在电影院观看《天书奇谭》修复版的过程中，我脑海里不断冒出一句话：“请把我最爱的《大闹天宫》比照此标准进行修复！”【天河城飞扬】20211107
男狐狸：地主傻儿子，贪吃无能是非惹，狐狸尾巴一旁露。
“蛋生抬头，但见白云弥漫，苍天茫茫”末尾的纪录片看到剧本最后一句破大防了，蛋生和袁公的师徒之情，金风玉露一相逢，便胜却人间无数。最终袁公被押上天庭，只给蛋生留下造福苍生的责任。天庭、袁公与蛋生、狐妖、官员、百姓几个立场刻画得入木三分。说句题外话，《刺客伍六七》很有这部作品的神韵，戏剧化的动作和语言，滑稽的举止，脸谱化（褒义）的人物，从传统戏曲一脉相承，这才是国漫特色啊！！
以后再也不会有这样的国产动画了。官方，不管是人间还是仙界，都混蛋。百姓可爱，但又愚昧。依靠反思的仙人和蛋解救世界的幻想。
