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.

缘起性空，缘汇则生，缘离则灭，诸行无常，随缘变化，执着是苦，放下是乐
其实跟《完美陌生人》有的一拼，故事不断变幻，人物情节穿梭交替，那时尚的罗马，扑面而来的文化气息，故事版本一个又一个，围绕爱情，结婚，baby，展开一个完美又陌生的画面。
为长颈鹿李栋旭加分，允儿戏份真的很少，可以理解。但是桥段真的有点俗，开头拍的很乱。
着实是有些老套了啊... 从剧情到台词都是... 老年组这个剧情也真的太莫名其妙了吧，灰姑娘的故事也是... 老套就算了，故事衔接的也一般，整个主题（好几个故事也感觉和酒店没啥关系... 也就光洙oppa看着好玩，还有自杀的小伙子的故事还蛮有趣的。哎这种合家欢拍好也不容易噢
新年專屬閤家歡式電影，看著輕輕鬆鬆最後圓圓滿滿happy ending，很適合。故事雖然片段化但在酒店串聯在一起，劇情也不是特別鬆散。
不知道为什么这部电影评分不高，其实是部蛮轻松的电影，虽然感觉像明星大合集，但是也是挺有意思的呀，特别权相佑还客串了一个镜头
林允儿怎么这么漂亮 她一出来简直整个人都在发光 故事支离破碎的 可惜了这么好的演员阵容 不过新年看看还行 挺应景的
灵魂拷问—灵魂伴侣伴侣存在吗？非常有意思的叙事
卡司很贺岁 喜剧又催泪 画面真的很美 故事真的很治愈 所有缘分终将结果
贺岁电影无疑………李栋旭也太容易被吸引了+允儿戏份也太太太太太少了
还好是2021最后一部烂片而不是2022第一部
在看，这才是总统套房，《甜蜜人生》那个顶多是豪华房。最近被提到海默症三次。真巧，又有想自杀的人。又是制作精美的，就很舒服，女演员很漂亮。又是一起跳楼，这么巧，刚看完《甜蜜人生》，我是有特别的运气？所以允儿用声音演了一大半的戏，然后一个回眸、才见其人，然后演员表放前面，预告封面和剧照都在刷允儿，没想到她声音这么成熟、人气这么高，比以往要漂亮？打完游戏发现没关浏览器。没删，慢慢挖。|早上先豆瓣，影音过一遍，才舍得。韩智敏三部了。最关注的是元真儿。|另一颜值盛宴：《恐惧街》。
看的时候很混乱，搞不懂剧情，慢慢入戏了，就开始渐入佳境。彼此相似的人，因为你像我，所以我爱你。但是哪有完美契合的理想情人？彼此不同的人，因为彼此差异而相互吸引，有这么多差异想，我还是想爱你，所以相互磨合妥协，为彼此变成不够完美的爱人。我觉得为了爱你，愿意改变自己的爱情，才能走得更久吧。
很久前我就意识到所谓“唯一的灵魂伴侣”是个伪命题，身边的伴侣往往是天时地利人和的结果，换个条件状态心境，可能关系就会天差地别，甚至不会成为身边人。我们以独立个体状态进入关系，而关系又会在不知不觉中塑造我们，重点不是“唯一”，而是专注和“眼前有缘的那一个”的发展。但电影有趣（和有更多可能性）的地方，是让人看到和不同对象与不同状况下合情合理的发展，恰到好处的切换也让观赏更有趣味。很可爱的意大利小片~
拍的跟闹着玩似的，要不是因为达叔，谁看这个啊
2021年最后一部电影 在我这里它是温暖我的 它是甜的
适合新年看的电影哦！很像真爱至上的风格，搞笑而温情！光洙好爱大神呀，还cue大神！每一对都好喜欢！世界不算完美，也许每个人内心都有自己无法治愈的地方，可是，因为有人在，我们相互救赎，相互温暖，新的一年才有希冀！别忘记对自己说：新年快乐！p.s片尾曲很好听！
拙劣又俗套的模仿实在尬出天际。除了姜河那的部分其他都是如坐针毡，看得人哈欠连天
我是为数不多觉得这电影还不错的吗哈哈哈哈哈
作为贺岁片来说挺不错了，俊男靓女看着都挺养眼，ost 也不错，非要说的话李栋旭的线过于玛丽苏了，几百年前的套路了哈哈哈哈
