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.

看到朗措其实那里真的不知道说啥好了，为什么那些假的巡山员会去小学杀人呢？
其实我觉得在这部电影里面，女主也非常的伟大从不抱怨，一直在默默付出，太淳朴了，感觉光环比男主还强大
善良的人最识得善良！印象深刻的就是病危母亲临死前对男主的灵魂质问，你的爱在哪里？你的家在哪里。
挺能带动情绪的，温馨的地方搞笑的地方还有让人想哭的地方，情绪都被牵着走了
磕cp有点上头哇，话说女主看起来挺眼熟，要是他俩现实也在一起就好了，就是有的地方剧情过渡的不是很完美
讲述老师到偏远地区支教的故事，联想到不丹电影《教室里的一头牦牛》和中国电影《蓝学校》。
总是觉得自己没什么负担，其实只是不过是有人在替你负重前行罢了，韩老师付出了自己的一生，最后才让孩子们都有学读
孩子们眼中充满着对老师的尊敬，更有着对知识的无限渴望。一个人一生才能多长，甘愿为自己的选择坚守一生的人真是值得敬佩。
值得一看的片子，但也就是仅此而已了，很俗套的一部电影，喜欢的自然喜欢吧
★★★★ 西藏支教的老师被当地学生所感动，最终留下来支教一生的故事，很佩服这样的情操，也很感叹西藏的美丽景色！
还可以，个人蛮喜欢这样的电影，前期看起来舒服，支教老师确实很不容易，看到后面压力有点大，有比较多的天灾人祸，情绪起伏比较大，人生也是这样吧，抵挡不了的事，那只能接受
演员们的打扮都好原生态啊我好喜欢！想去藏区的心情又被勾起来了！
总的来说，是很不错的电影，无论是从纯真的价值观引领，还是拍摄手法、选景和演技都很吸引人，剧情逻辑上来说层层递进没毛病，BGM也都很喜欢！我以为泪目可以是男主回家没路孩子们冲去挖路的感动，不一定非要有人离去才能落泪？莫名其妙让僧格领盒饭？也有些为了推进而推进的地方不是很能理解，比如朗措的牺牲，虽然促进了剧情的发展，但是不明白盗猎者不去偷藏羚羊半夜去搞穷学校是为什么？虽说条件艰苦，牺牲常有，意外总在，但希望导演尽量少以此骗人眼泪
我们应该从屏幕中走到现实中，为真正需要帮助的孩子们带去温暖。
我关注点歪了，韩松居然没有高原反应！羡慕死了，藏区的风景真的太美了！
好喜欢韩松和梅朵这对，郎才女貌特别般配，要是感情戏在多一点就更好了
感情线如果能再“虐”点就好了，男女主一直朋友相待最后搞个意难平什么的，也能弥补感情戏的空虚
今年5月去了西藏，那辽阔的草原，蔚蓝的天空真的让人难以忘怀。再看《藏草青青》一下子就把记忆拉回了西藏。影片中的支教老师有着教师崇高的师爱，身上有力量，有善行，正应了教育家陶行知先生的“捧着一颗心来，不带半根草去”的奉献精神。老师的最大成功不是教出了多少考高分的学生，而是教出了比自己还伟大的人，体现对人的成长服务的精神。破防的电影，因为太真实，又太跌宕起伏，反映的只是生活真实的部分，却仍然能够打动人的内心深处。
平凡的人在做着最伟大的事，他们把青春甚至生命都献给了这里！朗措也有走出藏区的机会，但是他依然选择留在这里，看到朗措舍命救孩子们，泪目了！
男主刚来支教的时候意气风发，皮肤白白嫩嫩的，随着支教时间的增加，他的脸上也出现了很多皱纹和斑点，细节处理的非常到位，好评！
