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.

在家里打发时间看看可以的，去电影院看就真的没必要了。
真的蛮好看的！国庆看过的电影动画中最可爱最好玩的一部！叙事也不错！值得带孩子去看的！
一个作家的梦中梦的感觉，我想象中我是和英雄冒险故事中的女主角，但我是女主角，男猪脚是谁，我的想象和我的现实。皮特的出现实在是太搞笑了。虽然有点小儿科有点完美，但是我真的开心到了哈哈哈哈
中规中矩 菲拉萌真的好萌啊 小菲拉萌更萌 点蛮多的 汪小峰真的笑死我了 独眼巨人O妹和爱德把独眼巨人搞哭了也笑死我了 最后🐦跟甜甜圈是咋回事儿啊 最后那个蓝色的空心🥚到底是个啥啊
错位的青春、错过的爱情，幼稚的脾气、做作的宣言、沉痛与发泄、离别与寂灭，结尾有些泄气。
孩子在电影院笑得很开心，出人意料的好看——当然，我是站在孩子的立场和角度，作为一部给孩子看地电影，已经足够。
期待值太高，看了很失望，真就照搬漫画分镜啊，每场sex还能拍得再生硬些吗。觉得还不错的大概只有最后暴雨那场戏了。还是推荐去看看原作漫画
为了孩子看的，不是因为国庆无聊不回去，下次一定要有好的动画片上映再带孩子看
除了布拉蛋演的海豹退伍老兵外，都没啥惊喜，也不好笑
哈哈哈哈我的妈，想把脑袋钻进这个洞里猛揉两下。but这个结尾。。。发展得也太快了吧，可能还有续集吧
imdb 5.3/看到开头华谊就感觉不妙/为什么把动物肚子掏出一个洞/前面的呆鸟设定雷同/上海设定装饰完全chinatown/剧毒
第一次觉得青木柚一晃眼好像神木dd 这就是为什么我一直很好感他吗
疼痛的青春片，反应日本现实年轻人的问题。
比较低龄，三岁半的儿子挺喜欢。对我来说有惊有喜，汪小峰是唯一的成人笑点了，最后那跨种族的突然一吻把我吓了一激灵。
比另外一部电影化的好点吧。两个主演的外形都比较还原漫画，但是演技就呃呃了
3.有些历史点也是挺有趣的。
笑点都很突然，恐龙鲸鱼好可爱，作为搞笑片还是很合格的。
起初看海报觉得可能是部烂片，但没想到还不错哈哈哈，不过还是偏低龄的
嫉妒使人丑陋，白颂德因为嫉妒使他忘记了感恩，最终得到了报应
中规中矩的好莱坞冒险搞笑片，男女主脸看着显老，身材还是那么棒，一对比，丹尼尔真的很小孩哈哈哈~PS：没想到皮特布莱特只是客串，挂的有点突然，结果彩蛋又活了。。。
