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.

男同性恋的生活真混乱呀。欲望可以满足、情感很难满足的主题其实也挺腻的了，拍得太跳跃了，剧本比较套路，表演尚可。
《论：有一双会讲故事的👀的疯批“美人”是如何学会从middle life crisis中与自己和解》
太难看了，太难看了。导演对整个故事完全没有掌控力，稍微有好看的地方都是已经被浪漫韩剧拍烂的桥段。给两星是至少演员们还是好看的。没想到柳承龙是完全直男感的演员，同性线能演得一丝暧昧感都没有。
无论情节还是场面 完美诠释粗制滥造 在打光都追求极致的韩国电影里实属清流。
挂着喜剧的皮，但笑点不够密集而且略有生硬，明显导演功力不足，故事有点老套，剧本也欠打磨，但绝对是诚意之作。特别这是一部小品演员转型导演的处女作，更是难能可贵。这部电影比许多科班出身的、何不食肉糜的、自诩高雅艺术的导演拍摄的晦涩难懂或词不达意的作品好看许多。
生活里的bipolar够多了，电影还拍个没完.......
其实是还不错的剧情片，对男主及周边人物性格和内心的展现很深刻也很强烈，演员们出色的表演也张力十足，但是主角的人物形象明显缺少一个有力的转折点，仅仅依靠母亲去世，女儿出国留学很难有说服力，造成电影前半部分的疯狂和最后的平静无法自然地连接在一起。
这可怎么活呀
还有吴政世爱而不得的使坏工具人也很逗哈哈哈。
她们爱上你的敏感与纤细，她们留给你支离破碎。
感觉到后面好像能感受到为什么这么低的分了，不过觉得有时候同性恋发生这样那样，那样那样，嗯，但我也是给的挺低的分的。

柳承龙的演技还是ok 剧情上来说有点小乱、看个热闹吧
一见钟情光速告白马上同居什么的，果然是年轻人搞暧昧谈恋爱做得出来的事。后来笔锋一转，变成了人气出轨小年轻，果然是日本喜欢拍的故事。不过其实这个片子讲的是踏进社会之后所面对的理想和现实的落差。黑岛结菜有点帅气的美。就是床戏有点尴尬。
我真的一直觉得Leo他本人里有一种柔软细腻的感觉，他适合当这类电影的主角的。电影也没有浪费他的身体和声音，看电影的时候感觉好像他在我身边说耳语。虽然有点乱，但看的好满足
就是想到某个人了。不用怀疑，再也遇不到那样的人了。
看到最后那段实在没忍住，真的一段时间才能看懂一段故事。
最喜欢小男孩和女演员的罗曼史，最讨厌学生和老师的罗曼史
