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.

啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊当然在交往啊！啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊值得！二十年了！新兰永恒！啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊我也等到这一天了！这是个纯爱故事吧？到现在还只是亲脸？比较返璞归真的故事，没有大爆炸，没有反科学，开心。
神奇女侠一发力，背景音乐就变成了远古吟唱，反反复复几十遍，耳朵都听吐了
TV版动画6-10集的合辑篇，主要是讲炭治郎偶遇终极大反派，而后遇到鬼医生和她的迷弟，被请回家，双方针对如何变回人进行了探讨，并达成合作，再遇到两个被大反派安排来的鬼袭击，最后在几人通力合作下，解决了两个鬼，基本上没有在TV版上加什么内容，看过原本的话，可以不再看这个特别版，整部片子的亮点就是这次打斗从各个角度展示了一下水之呼吸基本都有什么招数，该燃的地方也十分燃，而且是一次性看完全部，感觉上会比较连贯会更爽，属于重温性质的片子
17岁伦敦，大本钟下告白。
反正只要是名侦探系列我都喜欢，个人偏爱没办法，哈哈😃
只有品味了痛苦，才能珍视以前忽略的快乐；只有领略了平凡，才会收藏当初丢弃的幸福。
EP.1-7 《无限列车》
笑死，我原本来看新兰的，嗑到的是平新。。我知道为什么嗑不起来新兰了，一个是所有bg官配女性角色写得很垃，一个是新兰相关的剧情太扯
这个故事我以前看过啊，换了一个名字，我又再看了一遍，还以为有新片。
洗衣机的甜还是很甜的。
脚印那里莫名想到巴斯克维尔的猎犬
新兰我初恋啊！！！我永远爱新兰😭
哎，都九百多集了，才亲到脸颊？好歹是新兰确定恋爱关系的大事件，撒花五颗星。
冲着两人CP来的~等了十几年…总算确定了关系啊
TV982-985「红色的修学旅行」鲜红篇&恋红篇，多年不看柯南的时候我看完这个案件，只觉得离谱和惊讶。即使不去想为何警察厅事事都听高中生的，破案过程和悬疑设置也够离谱。新一和小兰荧幕初吻也没有增色多少，三星全是情怀了
洗衣机的甜还是很甜的。
这部好看很多！而且亲了耶、案子伏笔埋的也不错嘿嘿
我真是喜欢渡月桥和恋人以上无法满足的梦 bgm一响起来鸡皮疙瘩起一身
追了柯南这么多年，可算是官宣了，这两口子急死我了
剧情很一般了，但是看柯南已经成为了习惯啊～
