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.

当成风景片可能还行？
一开始先是感叹这剧里面的男人怎么都那么好骗，然后又觉得这些男人怎么可以那么大爱，再然后又觉得十元那个角色好变态，好任性，最后扯到了生病给了个爱的定义。是只有我觉得怪么，而且这种寄生女儿还能一直笑对人生会不会太戏剧了。女儿和男友寻亲那段以为会很救赎很好哭，最后还没毕业典礼弹钢琴的时候泪点高
日系明媚色彩，适合春夏的一次观影体验｜石原的笑容美好又治愈｜永野芽郁、刚田健史的颜也好好磕，长发清冷男、仙女落泪｜小学生优子在门前起舞明媚至极，高中的青春校园、青涩初恋｜影初的插叙手法引人寻思，尽管病逝的母爱不免有点落俗，绕了一圈兜兜转转，3个爸爸和妈妈的线络图、妈妈给优子的两百分母爱诚然疗愈能力满格（虽然落于实际大概率不会这样），在如此大环境中成长的她温柔的不可方物，同时也为这些父母反注入了活力｜为人母、为人父的典型模范，哺与反哺，不愧为爱的接力棒｜巴西可可、钢琴、回锅肉，有梦想、有钱、稳定｜“越是这种时候越要笑，笑口常开，幸运就会来敲门的”
越看到后面越低分
我觉得很温暖呀，确实不能算是多么伟大的作品，但是又养眼又暖心，看的过程很享受。本来想打4星的，看着整体分数才6.5分，豆友们实在太严格了吧，打个5星中和一下吧。
一星给田中圭和永野芽郁的对手戏，一星给石原里美和永野芽郁。电影里人物的行为动机只是被“告诉”了观众却没有合理的“解释”，为了温情而温情，为了爱而爱，像是一个没有影子的世界。其核心的逻辑是女性找到了合适的男性才能幸福，母亲是这样，女儿也是，被作为接力棒而传递，从一个父亲到另一个父亲到另一个父亲再到丈夫。忽然“泪点”一炸，银幕内外的人都开始哭，只剩下银幕上的冈田健史和银幕外的我二脸懵逼大眼瞪小眼。
还没看书，但是后面真的被感动到了。一部很温情的电影。
各位爹妈＝导演实现自我感动的工具人❓
本来想给8分的，因为被父母的爱所打动，结果快结束那琢磨这心里不是滋味。片尾字幕还这个优子那个优子的，就是没有优子自己本身。好像离开父亲老公优子就完全不能生存了一样，结婚了女性就隶属老公家了一样，整的和物品交付似的。
细思极恐的情节：最后让克隆体在决斗前去毒死本体的主意，竟然是本体的男朋友和母亲集体作出的主意！——也因此，女主本体在未被毒杀而反杀了克隆体之后，才只有冒充克隆体去决斗现场，去轻易骗取了男友和母亲的口供，得以存活。不然的话，她以本体的身份而出现，那么男友和母亲必然知道克隆体的毒杀计划失败，必然知道本体已经杀了克隆体，不会善罢甘休，本体就会因赛前谋杀罪而入狱。所以，看似开放式结局，其实不是，各种推理最后都会指向一个结果：本体活下来了，但不得不以克隆体的身份苟活，因为最应该爱她的男友和母亲，都希望她死。
为什么童话式的故事可以对标小偷家族啊？莫名其妙。
恕我无法理解这个莫名其妙的展开……我的观影感受一直在女士的演技好不适合大荧幕和竟然还不错之间反复横跳。还有4y的哭戏看起来真的很干净漂亮。
豆瓣分數不高，但是其實挺好看的。女主永野實在是太好看了，而本名十元，嗯……，反正十元好看就夠了，誰管她到底演的怎麽樣呢，你説是吧。
咩好美好棒😭前段的插叙看似是悬念，虽然有许多提示镜头，但其实会让人看不懂在讲什么😓 故事的魅力就在于：让狗屁不通的设定圆满画上句号
主演全是我的爱 可我怎么就入不了戏 无法共情
虽然是看的无字幕生肉，但好像不怎么妨碍理解😅
不管怎样解释，剧情都很奇怪把，森宫完全就是为了带娃而被骗结婚的嘛，十几年连老婆面都见不到，扔个娃就跑了，太惨了，角色全员天使。有十元的剧衣品都很不错，4y也相当好看，给三星把。
故事太扯了，让人难以相信，温暖得极不现实。看看永野芽郁和石原里美两位美女还是可以的，看看冈田健史帅哥还是可以的。
3.7 【反復】不错，很抓观影者。全场哭的稀里哗啦，从毕业典礼那边开始动容。（好看真的好看，妆容和服装设计真的好看，当然也仿佛没有跳出那几位本人的“人设/设定”）
确实是无血缘关系家庭成员之间的感情羁绊，但是这个剧情也太狗血了吧。女主的三个爸爸人设都很奇怪，亲爸能为了梦想留下女儿和结婚没几年的继母一起生活，第二个有钱爸爸在继母跑了之后对女主还是很好，甚至多年后仍然很喜欢她妈妈，第三个高智商的爸爸在结婚前几天喜当爹还毫无怨言照顾女主到成年。最后说她妈妈选择离开是有原因的，她妈妈为了女主奉献一生，这也太扯了吧。这个电影就很离谱，一切都太理想化了。
