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.

陪家里的小朋友看的 小朋友很喜欢 大人看着看着也投入进去了
我们的周边卖的很不错，赚的钱可以在世贸中心买大楼。
小迷的第一场电影，汪汪们好酷啊～ 阿奇去救莱德那一幕，竟有些红眼眶。
剧情简单，善恶好辩。羡慕小孩的天真无邪，成年人的世界几个小孩懂？
我一直以为莱德是超级富二代，没想到竟然也是靠卖周边发的。。
靠卖汪汪队周边大赚一笔的莱德队长买下斯塔克大厦在高谭市大战企鹅人
汪汪队：我们怎么租得起这么豪华的大楼？ 莱德队长：因为我们周边产品卖得好！
汪汪队不再用湾湾腔说话后，观感一下子提升了好多。
孩子第一次去影院看的电影，第一次陪孩子看的动画电影，画面、情节都很好！
我觉得很好看啊，看得我紧张死了。😂里边的配乐好好听哦，尽管比较大人听的音乐，可是我儿子都一直夸好听
讲真，这部大电影比去年带娃看的精彩多了，至少故事性完整性都有很大提高，不仅介绍了阿奇的身世，还加入了新成员贝贝。总部科技升级啦好酷炫。。。说到底呢，孩子看得很开心！
新晋队员以及更新装备意味着新一轮韭菜等待收割～
最精彩的部分貌似睡过去了...前面一直在找亚裔脸，好像没找着...
陪儿子看的。故事讲什么不太记得，但是只能说这个狗狗做的很逼真，那个毛发非常的分明。
感叹一下也到了这种陪小朋友看动画片的年纪了……
- 替阿奇配音的居然是小谢尔顿的饰演者，听不着真是可惜了。
剧情一般吧，连布鲁都生小孩了，但也只是打酱油，伊恩真的好好笑，他一开口我就笑，三人行必有一憨憨。
6分。制作质量比电视版好很多，但故事感觉像是几个片段拼在一起一样的，挺适合小孩子观看的，因为从头到尾都没什么危险的地方。
感叹一下也到了这种陪小朋友看动画片的年纪了……
心心念念的汪汪队果然没让小主失望。
