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.

有点不知道说啥，男主太像黄轩了，这以后咋发展呢…同类型的片也真的好多，无厘头看着更无厘头，违和，连周星驰自己的片看着都违和真奇怪
碰这个IP本身就很大胆，居然没有很烂，这个应勤资源应该不够，演技还可以，只好找网大剧组接戏
一个影视作品太成功，成为了20几年也打不破的套路，有时候也不是好事。
虽然是网大，但有达叔还得看。注意到马心瑞是在电视剧《还没爱够》里面，当时就觉得这个女二很有女主气质，现在改名叫马瑞，颜值还是够得上的，继朱茵之后演紫霞的人除了她和彭小苒有些感觉，其他就连唐嫣都没有。这里至尊宝人设大改，女追男变男追女可以的，但主角不应该因为梦就说什么不能走，怪异突兀。世界观设定在花果村大闹天宫前五百年，可所有人都知道西天取经？老爹+卖面+阿宝？功夫熊猫？紫霞仙子出场没有慢动作滤镜过度渲染，反而是滑稽的，反套路可以。青霞终于有了形象，紫青双剑合璧不错。但镜头配音等等都很拉，都是彩蛋和致敬，台词却不好。BGM加了戏腔，有点意思。场景还原了，这点也行。悟空扮相丑到一定境界，如果颜值撑不起来千万别用自己的脸，连六小龄童和周星驰都不敢，你那么普通又那么自信。
这种蹭大话西游IP的电影越多，越突出原本两部电影的经典
男主太丑，女主还不错，两星的电影，多打的一星是送给达叔🙏🏻
那么多至尊宝，这个最恶心的。
这就是前传。还有达叔。每一个剧情的呼应，自己脑海里会自动补上前作。
努力保持原来的风格，景物、装扮，故事上也算努力看齐了，剧情中规中矩的，主角太认真了，没有体会到星爷的癫，毕竟一个人一个风格，不过还是谢谢用心了！怀念达叔！！想去再刷一遍《大话》了。
不到6分过分了，我觉着挺好，网大里的一股清流。
但有我想要的美
抱着怀念达叔的目的去看的，没想到竟然意外不错，剧本很好啊，完成度也很不错，就是时常短了点
劇情雖不完美
网大全是不错了，那首歌真是回忆杀，福海……我的童年那
达叔遗作，没想到戏份真的超多，每一个眼神、笑容每一句台词都是那么和蔼亲切，怀念达叔！唯光影永存！
粗糙的特效，廉价的布景，简单的剧情，还是让我在最后15分钟破防。哭的稀里哗啦的。只能说，我回忆起前2部的大话西游了。哭的稀里哗啦。
虽然制作不算精良，但是讲故事的诚意还是很足的，比隔壁的两部电影好多了，四星鼓励，继续加油。
想了想为什么会喜欢周星驰的大话西游 可能也是因为周星驰和朱茵 可能也是因为那个年代可以看到穿越剧情 可能也是因为至尊宝和紫霞的爱情停在那时候就够了 或者当年看着快乐无厘头的时候没想到后面隐藏着那么悲伤的故事的震撼。
不错的粉丝向作品 有心了 做了很好的还原 和企图解释两部大话中的一些情节和设定。很用心但是喜欢不起来。
90分钟都撑不满，借壳讲别的故事，容量根本不够，剧情突兀进度条跳跃，插入曲不知所谓，5毛特效还不如删了
