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.

剧情很鸡毛，但是谁不愿意看帅哥美女谈恋爱呢？没有困难也要给他们制造困难
ps.話說這部是不是有印表機超商贊助🤔
一天内连着看了三部…男主颜值逐渐下滑，但是没关系，我依旧看得开心。疫情在家，这部剧积极得调解了我的情绪。哈哈哈。粉红泡泡尽情冒~
我一直看了三部就是想告诉自己，年少时的天崩地裂都是成长后的一笑而过。这剧情如果拍成电视剧可能会好看很多。
怎么说呢，有一种扒美女裤衩抽猴皮筋做弹弓打你们家玻璃的感觉。
天蝎太真实了 仿佛看到了自己....爱情好美20211024 at home with Leon sleeping
第一次看印尼的电影，出乎意料的好看。

罪过，看起来我很热衷于观赏狗血烂片。但是..俩人刚做完因为还没说完的半句话男主从泳池里扑腾跳出来也太搞笑（搞么子啊？
这应该是三十三岁的我第二次看印度尼西亚电影，分两次看完的，前半部分虽然有些拖沓，但是部分情节还有些谍战片的感觉，勉强凑合;后半部分有的地方也挺吸引人，可不知为何越来越离奇;例如快到结尾时用登革热防疫措施做掩护销毁证据那段，太扯了;那么有实力的人会打扮成神经病的模样亲自出马？服了！把复印机整到学校房顶印发传单也是令人费解的，电源如何解决？再说，在下边印制完毕，直接上楼顶撒就行了嘛。该片题材属于那种题材不错，但是没有拍好可惜了，看一遍足够了。
男女主吵架的沟通方式像两个小学生.......
这部电影很震撼，光影氛围效果、清洁流畅程度都超出意料。很女性主义，很佩服女主的清醒与勇气，smart girl
开局五分钟内开始吵架..就毅然决然关上了，美男美女快快乐乐地谈恋爱不好嘛
虽然真的好狗血但是还是想说女主作为男主的救赎真的好好磕
男主的腚应该是本片的亮点，别的部分真的一般般
其实在现实生活里很多恋人遇到了异地恋，或者在这种类似相同选择的人都是这样。
创作灵感枯竭，写传统喜剧真是太难了是不是啊编剧们？梗虽然旧一点但也不是不可以，最大问题是不好笑，难得有男明星肯在废物搞笑花瓶这条有前途的路上面深耕下去，照理说应该鼓励钱老板，但他的肉体真的不像年轻时候那么紧实了，脸又不知道是不是打了太多针而变僵，做花瓶其实也是需要演技和外形双修的。当镜头里面同时出现皮特和钱老板的时候你会看不见钱老板，当镜头里面同时出现皮特和桑姐的时候你会觉得这两个人才火花四射强强相配，接近60跑来客串的皮特真要火辣得多。戏里面有一句台词说得好，不要说自己的作品垃圾，作者不可以这样侮辱自己的作品和读者，我赞同这句话，评判一部作品的可以是观众或评论专家，作为观众，本片只值2.5.，希望那个彩蛋不是要拍续集的意思。
看完三部之后有种被愚弄的感觉。是什么害我浪费了六个小时？是颜值，颜值，和颜值，掺杂一点对爱情的缅怀。
又是一众大牌，酝出一坨屎，现在无聊且多余话唠好像是好莱坞的招牌了。廉价又低级的动作喜剧，剧情已经不强求了，但是连笑料都做不好
第三部真的烂 要不是为了hero的颜值我真的追不下去
