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.

比第二部要好，但是没有第一部那么完整。麦叔顶了德普之后，这对官配立刻攻受分明起来，虽然感到演员自身应该是想回避这种感情演绎的，但剧本浓度太足，一整个欲盖弥彰之下，粉红泡泡反而更加明显，也一路疾驰到一种近似同人文的境界，最后更用互摸胸来解决世界危机(所谓❤️邓布利多的秘密❤️)，也是还蛮目瞪口呆渴死我了怪叫的。虽然尖锐的部分仍然是要观众自行联想到现实时代背景才能意会，但个人还蛮喜欢这种make love no war的政治童话故事，更何况罗琳还是能中和完全瞎掰和幻想间的调性，看的这么开心的原因可能还是现实中难以解决的事情太多了，要是左右互搏的人类也摸摸彼此的胸就解决一切纷争、不牺牲任何一个无辜的人该多好。3.5归4。
For the greater good.
各路角色都是纸片般单薄，这系列能在故事信息量越来越少的基础上做得越来越闷也是奇葩
巫师决斗太绝，就是有点儿快，火蝎子跳舞牛逼。
晚宴对决和bagel攻击两场拍得太美太美了。不过你们西方人对东方宗教也太执着了，一帮巫师在喜马拉雅山下选领导我真的服了。
邓布利多之谜：《阿不思邓布利多：我和格林德沃有段过去》《阿不福思邓布利多：我和麻瓜有个孩子》《克雷斯登邓布利多：爸爸再爱我一次》《阿利安娜邓布利多：我是个默然者》
2)拔叔好看，真的很魅惑，比德普性感∼#胖子没有未来#(？
退钱！垃圾剧本垃圾调度看得人浑身难受。拔叔演技放这鸟片里完全就是暴殄天物。格林迪沃是法西斯不假，你邓布利多就是啥好鸟？挫败格林迪沃颠覆魔法界民主的方式居然是退回君权神授简直让人笑掉大牙。第二部我就吐槽过罗琳那套世界观放英国还勉强说得过去，一出英国跟本经不起细看。拿现代民族国家来划分巫师这种中世纪社会的族群简直离谱。按罗琳设定各国魔法部都跟麻瓜政府有联系，那请问法国魔法部在大革命期间是和波旁王室还是国民议会联系？德国魔法部在普鲁士统一德国之前就存在？巴伐利亚魔法部、萨克森魔法部难不成也被普鲁士魔法部给统了？PS，克雷登斯真实身份完全是为了反转而反转。
不过青梅竹马到老头这种恋爱剧情还是多少能让人感动到吧
当年的魔法世界确实不在了，但顶不住他们榨取最后的价值。神奇动物依旧是ggad爱情陪衬，还是人气动物选手扛大旗。校长爱情也就开头结尾有看点，其余全是想快进的大废话主义，故事整体是连bfi IMAX也救不了的糊里糊涂。好在我看的不是个二次加工阉割版，不然更反胃了。
看好多人提出来的各种疑问，我觉得是不是有些观众上学的时候阅读理解从来拿不着分，现在也只能处理30秒的信息，超过短视频长度就没办法联系前后
在聚散之间 有一劫宿缘 是无常善变；
女助理下车说的那句话，按理说我就应该猜到了她才是心地最善良的人…但是邓布利多在分配箱子的时候，我真的真的以为开面包店的麻瓜才是最善良的！因为它跟麒麟玩的最好…然后所有人都失败了，这个女助理怎么就这么突兀的走进了所有人的视线里呢？？没有任何交代只因导演需要！话说在德国囚牢里的那段真的是笑死了哈哈哈哈 2022.4.11 与董伟 在西铁营万达
这个系列走向逐渐DC化：金牌IP，铁粉无数，叙事稀烂，彩蛋救市。对我来说，全片唯一的亮点是那句“还有谁会爱你！”，对于家属（十级哈迷）来说，唯一的亮点：那个美女不会是麦格教授吧……卧槽，真的是麦格教授。
爆米花气质非要拍成上世纪默片类型，容易走神的又得不到有效转场提示，没有大场面轰炸又想体会人物感情的细水长流（邓布利多变成了个啥都知道的神棍），什么前情提要都靠啰哩啰嗦的台词，到底为什么坏蛋们不主动出击把主角团一网打尽？看了快十次了才知道导演大概想说啥，其实我觉得不可以要求太多了（真的比第二部好太多），果然电影语言是决不能照搬书的。//话说格林德沃真的好嚣张，选举完德国部长想和你握个手都被无视掉啰…黑妹教授把毒酒飞走那里好像剪了，因为拦住她的奥罗看着天…还有大家的发型为了配合纽特都变成一半爆炸头一半秃…我估计卡玛德作用就是大概把敌方布防透露一下和吸引火力吧，邓布利多那个门帘是搞个虫洞让他弟钻过来吗/虽然邓多多很凡尔赛地推辞了但在凤凰社一书里通过卢平之口得知，他后来仍旧当选了魔法联合会主席
这群高阶巫师一个个的都不念咒直接刚，魔法世界味儿不对了啊
很烂、非常烂。两颗星给始终有爱、终成正果的muggle baker&Queenie小姐姐和神奇动物们（护树罗锅、嗅嗅和麒麟）。这是一个怎样天真的魔法世界，leader居然靠一只圈外麻瓜我都能想到五百种伪造方法的神兽来选……魔法师们集体瞎了么……然后整个魔法世界陷入政治正确无法自拔，除了欧美各国齐现、黑人遍地之外，国际魔法协会主席候选人居然是中国男和巴西女，最后女性力量获胜……我都没眼看了，还我英伦三岛(/(°∞°)\)还我腐国U ´꓃ ` U
这一部非常贴合电影名，请问 “神奇动物在哪里???” 🤔😂🙈
是因为被关了太久所以出来过于快乐吗？完全没有觉得很烂。
没有神奇动物只有基情的电影，无聊至极，终止这个系列或者换人来导吧
