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.

第一幕出现的形象，颜值能打程度就超乎想象。
3大家害了他，所有忽视阿真的人？
还有比兰奶奶更合适这个角色的吗？这类题材不指望新意而是心意，演员有说服力就毫无抵抗力。
男女主好可爱呀！好好看！！！！！男主每次看入迷就很像胡先煦
看完觉得人要有尊严的活着，要自信自省地活着，要活着且在离世的时候觉得自己活过。
3.5星吧，长尾弟弟演技真的挺不错的。一开始以为是校园霸凌，后来又以为是家庭暴力。但仔细想想，这些大概就是很多人曾面临过的问题吧，家人对自己理想的不理解，喜欢的人不喜欢自己，母亲的外遇……青春期真的很容易自我中心，以为全世界都抛弃了自己，但其实并不是这样。如果能帮助这样的人稍微认识到这一点，也算是这部作品的成功之处吧。
一部青少年心理电影。死去的灵魂附身小林，要在借来的100天里，找出小林的死因，历经两次错误才意识到自己的错误，也找到正确的答案，重获新生。也知道了真正在乎的人就在身边。各方面比泰国的更盛一筹！演员也好，细节处理地也好！
兰普林每一幕看得我都想哭，即使不能说是悲剧也和喜剧完全不沾边啊。
好久没看过这么蹩脚的爱情片了，莫名其妙的发展和配乐，以及主演技生硬到影响了颜值，女主鼻孔快朝天了好吓人，剧本更是无敌地差。配角嫂嫂和几个同事都演得不错
劇情不重要⋯音樂不錯⋯奶奶演的好👍
韩剧有三宝，癌症，车祸，死的早。
导演太残酷了，你让他俩在雪地相见又不相认，那不是往我伤口上撒刀子吗？
其实有人一直爱着你，要过好每一天。
kenken是不是角色类型太固定了，梦回裙子（明明很适合元气小狗狗 杰努努力
最后谜底揭晓的时候有被打到，看见比被看见更重要。
倒计时的漏斗不戳yo
其实还是很不错的，没想到结局啊，最主要的是男主好可爱!男主的哥哥也好让人有安全感!
挺好看的，有几个画面第一次get到日系风格男子的美
果然上了年纪就敏感于衰老这个话题，后面很感人。祖孙俩演得都好。谁还没有过年轻的时候。
印象最深刻的是还书时的那句台词为“こめん 遅くなりました。”翻译一下是“不好意思来晚了”。字面意思是逾期还书了抱歉，但是同时也代表着不好意思这么晚才意识到这些爱与美好。其实救赎或许一直都在，其实你没有被全世界所忽视所抛弃，或许那些牵绊都在，只是被你忘记掉罢了。管理员的出现太频繁有点减分w
