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.

评价的人很低。有人会觉得闷吧。的确，话题是老话题，几代人的误解和和解。自我毁灭倾向的少年，对亡妻和儿子怀有热忱但不知所措的父亲，以及，这个一骑绝尘的奶奶。其实主创演职员里面少了那个必然的润滑环节→护士。有空我其实想单独开辟一张写写这里面我所见到的小细节。哈哈。又立flag了。先评价一波吧。白马演的最好。哈哈。
那最后的日出
“我要爱这个人生久一点，毕竟人生只是一场漫长的寄宿生活”
想起了dear Evan Hanson 但是太拖延太鸡汤了 是谁杀了我 原来是我杀了我！
就想知道為何奶奶每天攝入大量酒精又沒辦法動，卻還能保持如此纖細身材呢？
作为悬疑片太松散，作为青春片太无聊，作为说教片太生硬，甚至作为粉丝向电影山田杏奈的造型也是一场灾难。
男女主好可爱呀！好好看！！！！！男主每次看入迷就很像胡先煦
那潇洒的一饮而尽
日本片就喜欢讲大道理, 封面我还以为是个妹子.
梦寐以求的老太太形象
略微牵强了，好在色彩明亮剧情紧凑，此外演员多少有点丑……
超出预期，剧情没有一丁点新意，哪有这种浪漫的早衰症，但是处理得很清爽纤细，对于衰老的刻画有一点惊喜。人物还是很扁平，也会疑惑俩人有这么相爱吗？看完没觉得要“珍惜此刻”反而觉得被恐吓“再不谈恋爱就老了”
人生是一场漫长的寄宿生活，日本人在生活细节捕捉这块太懂了啊。青春的烦恼是自我认知、自我认同，成年后再看这些已经开始觉得矫情了，心态老了。
也没什么导演魅力
似乎没啥深度，过来人明白年轻人的空白，年轻人却未必认可。
欧亨利式结尾
目前IMDb评分7.4/79票，字幕已完成，转战下一个
近四星，立意很好，要看到身边人对你的爱～不要活在自己的世界里～蒙蔽了双眼！虽然演的一般～
“杜松子和水各一半，少拿水来糊弄我。”希望到老我也能这样喝威士忌。
即使容颜老去，但在我心里，你还是最初的模样。爱过的人没办法远去，记忆里的你温暖美丽。
