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.

庵痞子用十四年时间告诉我们：谁胸大！就选谁！这才叫现实！
三刷之后依然热泪盈眶，横跨二十年没有烂尾的超级IP恐怕只有EVA了吧，似乎没有更好的结局，其实不需要弄懂什么人类补完计划，什么NERV与WILLE，什么亚当与莉莉丝，通篇只讲了三句话:成长吧少年，不要逃避现实，去肩负起自己应担的责任；
作为影片缺陷不少，但作为EVA的终章满分。结尾在宇多田的歌声下，你跨世纪的中二病即刻痊愈。无法理解发生了啥，反正热泪盈眶。
其实爱情没有对错，在同样100%合拍的人中，经过5年甚至10年，每个人的观念和想法是会变化的，所以会导致结果截然不同。有的人愿意将以前美好的光景去抵消生活中的琐碎和不堪，也有的人会认为对方变心，也有的人无法再接受变质后的爱情；这都没有什么错，错的只是人的欲望沟壑再随时扩容和变化。但世界上最稳定的关系就是没有关系。
3、真的是“终”话，也解释了很多我不明白的坑；
最后想说一句，我们什么时候才能拍出这样的爱情片。。。
用长矛刺破层层心之壁垒，勇敢面对孤独的自己，和世间一切的羁绊。所有的福音战士，早安，晚安，谢谢，再见。
里面给每个角色都有了明确的结局，但是这个结局真的不错吗，见仁见智吧。
我。。。你。。。🐴
7 对应旧剧红海边上香和真嗣的那幕，与旧剧完全不同的氛围，这次两人和解了，不知为何就流泪了…
嗷嗷～ 演得也是真好 ～ 怎么办，觉得我家猫咪取名都有点太草率了。现在看这个故事刚刚好，该开始的会开始，要结束的也会结束，没有啥好执着的呢～ 不错不错
看之前恨它为什么一直延期，看完恨它为什么不一直延期
我太喜欢前面的日常和最后的收尾了
很喜欢你也很谢谢你，但我们不能在一起，分明是男孩的魅力还无法让女孩为他生孩子。以为腻腻歪歪日常流水账就是爱情，其实连门槛都没迈进。6
不需要再有任何的续集、重制、番外了。再见了，所有的EVA。
さよなら
6.5分。原谅我，只看到了一个中年人热血退散，却不得不勉力为之的疲惫不堪。庵野秀明成长了，或者说他变了，他或许不再对曾经那些得不到回答的质问耿耿于怀，但《EVA》却不能变，它必须是热血、孤独、声嘶力竭的，这两种力量拉扯出片中那爆炸式的情节信息量，那成堆的导演根本懒得解释的高概念。这是一个只属于少年人的故事，26年前庵野秀明开启了它，26年后庵野秀明已经无法结束它。
5 碇源堂你都那么大岁数了…和几个十四岁少年一起解决心结(而且你还是问题最严重的那个…)你好意思吗？
属于EVA的漫长的告别。如果最终篇早上映两年，我还为此计划过去日本的旅行，导演成功地熬死了我作为二次元阿宅最后的仅剩的现实行动力。全片通过网盘在线观赏，身边还有一个五月龄的屁孩要带，应付哭哭闹闹，断成了三四节看完，毫无以前那种观前沐浴更衣的仪式感，但总体也不太影响体验，影片内容懂的都懂。再见，所有的EVA。
