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.

这剧情也太过家家了，完全是一帮大人陪一个熊孩子瞎胡闹，可惜了奇异博士和三蛛同聚，梅姨真冤。最佳一幕：加菲蛛接住MJ。
这怕是个搞笑电影吧，男主的反应很有意思！杂志主编性格也奇奇怪怪，反到有趣了不少！现实漫画交织在一起，亦真亦假，女主用独特的方式报复了男主～
论妻子的复仇，婚姻的复杂性，还是gone girl呀
我可太喜欢奈绪这个神经病了。结局有惊喜，这种温柔复仇的路子也挺适合黑木华，只是学个车就能搞在一起太牵强。
从预告就有所期待的电影。漫画和现实之间虚虚实实，让一早出轨的老公失而复得却又得而复失。人夫根据剧情需要起来还是很像弟弟的😂
夫妻间不说话 靠漫画或者驾校老师才能开启
一开始导演就各种暗示老公跟小编辑有一腿 车里老婆用老公手机给她打电话很微妙 这部电影设计微表情很巧妙 这个老婆好聪明 设计了一个老公无法跳出的圈套 老婆漫画都画出来她看到了你们kiss了 你还不承认哦 这老婆是要成全老公吗 以后还要定期画漫画寄给老公 自己找了个驾校教练 挺冒险的 认识时间并不长
歌不错，这片子80分钟搞定，为毛要俩小时？？现在的电影能不能对节奏和时长要求高一点啦..这里面小三太反类型了反出sb感
如此清新明媚的画面配上如此诡异阴沉的配乐，男人对于自己出轨毫不在乎，得知妻子可能出轨则开始震惊，气愤，出轨对于男人而言事关尊严，到女人这就变成了气量。小编辑也很有意思，完全没有出轨男的焦躁，搞事业要紧。现实漫画虚虚实实，“一切都是幻想”早已经是过去式了，从现在开始，每个女人都要驾驶我的车！
本该在影院粉丝们一起狂欢的情怀之作，非得迟到几个月，然后用电脑屏幕看盗版，体验当然是ctm大打折扣啦。有人骂逻辑硬伤，有人骂角色降智，有人骂圣母，所有的骂话汇集起来就是消费情怀。可是，大家不就是为了情怀来的吗？光是看着两位老前辈唠家常分享自己的故事，这便足够感动了。章鱼博士称彼得长大了，加菲直接抱着MJ（而不是用蜘蛛丝救人），这些都是很戳人泪点的地方。《蜘蛛侠》无法引进，其实对中国影院伤害更大，人家依旧全球第一票房，而中国则面临没有大片救市的尴尬。不过不在这片土地上映也未尝不是好事，毕竟在这个喜欢嘲讽人善良的国度，蜘蛛侠迟早会因为他的善良被这里的人唾弃。
有《登堂入室》珠玉在前，这部无论剧本还是镜头语言都显得平庸了，本来奇异的情感和人物关系经日式处理变得过于温吞，像一部高开低走的春季日剧sp
展开蛮愉快 感受到了女性力量 千佳真爱工作 妈妈也很好 完全不打扰 有点爽
柄本佑演渣男，真的毫无感觉，是那种被打了都要对你说声，私密马赛的人。黑木华学驾驶那段，使我想起了我还停留在科二的驾照考试，她和教练小哥属于那种刚开始看没多少感觉，后来越看越顺眼的那种cp，结局真的太妙了，所有人都得到了自己想要的，全程就只有渣男老公一人被玩的团团转，黑木华结尾看向副驾驶的那一眼凌厉又得意，有被帅到。
虚虚实实，真真假假，切换的特别有趣，用漫画的方式引人进去，加剧了紧张感
天呐编辑为了催产创作还能这样激励女作者的吗（然而现实中这么能干的编辑凭什么怎么会看的上这种画不出的男作者
当然，他仍然将钢铁侠视为导师和养父，只是不再依靠他了。
这不得打个#悬疑的标签🫡 艺术创作 灵感来源于生活... 给plastic love 点赞😶🌫️
柄本佑演技好好，这个丈夫蠢萌的样子跟小明差不多~~虚虚实实交互映照的述事也很有意思~
慢慢看到最后再回味之前实在觉得有点妙。温柔一刀，复仇开始。
