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.

Shit.What a year.Bye 2021 bye.
男主太圣母了看着真憋屈 最后强开金手指黑老哥逻辑喂狗 政治正确还得看老美 两星给男女主颜值吧拍的很好下次别拍了😅 ps：电影原著居然有9.1…放绿江估计被秒的渣都不剩 纯纯无语住了
中间有几度想说女主是不是有点太执拗了 但！ 最后还是美好结局 所以算了吧 希望大家都能得到救赎 都能有真爱陪伴一生
原来爱可以是宽容，可以是耐心的等待
这次的伪纪录片夹杂了不少网飞私货，2021年pandemic还在，在美国乌烟瘴气的文化和政治生态下对masks, vaccines和votes的争议让这一年更是格外魔幻。
谁可以...你像打雷 像的一塌糊涂 美得不可方物 你像库里 像的一塌糊涂 帅得人神共愤 你们超越了莫娣 荣膺最佳 你们颠覆了想象 给予信仰 谁可以...
颜值演技真的可以了/终于不是霸道总裁，农场主很棒啊！人设性格和对爱情的理解都值得9分。自救那段独白真是把我感动哭了。这种力量源于内心的good will。男主向上帝祈祷想要一个能与他分享人生的人。可太多人希望找一个人是来爱自己的了。最后上帝治不孕真的让我哭中带笑。
关于救赎的玛丽苏文学吗？！男主人设接近完美～我爱你真的只是爱你本身而已？！虽然美好 可是也挺狗血的
Paul，又是装假汤老湿的一天，要啥没啥。
适合和《不要抬头》放一起看 我太喜欢看讽刺喜剧了！！感觉编剧里肯定有reddit资深用户因为好多梗都在reddit刷到过哈哈哈哈 然后怀念被cancelled人物那里看到了艾米锤他真的好帅 哎能不能回到2019啊这俩年跟没活一样太惨了
从19年李医生到现在，我最大的感受就是特别特别特别特别希望灭霸出现
fiction is the new reality
还行，吐槽现实的文本不错。 2022.01.15.
女主角很乖 这个角色主要是原生家庭特别有问题 确实不是她能选择的 后天又强迫性恶性循环 但是男主其实原生家庭也很有问题哈 他爸爸那么暴力但是他很渴望温暖和被爱 这部电影要从心理学角度去出发应该是完全不能去搬弄的 女主角是真漂亮 只是角色设定我到后面觉得她很作 但是也能理解她不够坚定自己特别强烈的self hate怕自己是个负担 不过还是觉得太作了 悲惨的人还是跳不出那个圈 说难听点这个角色的悲哀吸引了另一个悲哀的人 没有互相救赎和治愈这个说法 都是幻觉 and女主让男主很辛苦的 负能量磁场影响巨大 真的要强烈自我改变和察觉很难 花时间 最后告诉大家 如果一开始女主角长得不漂亮不是金发碧眼不是皮肤白皙的话 直接全剧终我栓q
2021的结束和开始一样混乱无序，时2020灾难的续作，什么都没有变好，延续前作的阴阳怪气，讽刺的针针到位，相比于前作更多的着眼于美国本土，但也完全算是一部彻彻底底敞开心扉的2021美国大事件吐槽录。网飞真是疫情肆虐，创作不止啊，2022去死，明年见！
除了无语以外，无话可说，什么垃圾电影，21世纪了
小说改编。我基督教的家人哭的泣不成声。They said ，the man who in the movie doesn't exist，except GOD.
如果你本性善良 then keep it forever 别人怎么看不重要 How could I not, with all the forgiveness that I’ve been given.
笑死
结局的happy ending,终于完整地画上了玛丽苏的符号，这是继《五十度》系列以来，看得最少女心的一次吧。美国西部的自然风光，淘金女郎被牛仔农场主的一路救赎，她逃，他追，她离开，他等待，她回来，他献上戒指。总体看来，还是挺美好的一个梦吧。
