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.

最感觸的是芳儀和同學說 我覺得媽媽可以做的更好。媽媽做的還不夠好嗎 化療 照顧家庭 甚至可以想像她一個人在美國獨自帶著兩個孩子的辛苦。不得不再次感嘆東亞家庭的成員關係 拒絕溝通拒絕表達 因為一點點柔軟就能和解 之後又默默承受。📍k11 art house
这荒野求生阵亡率也太离了，你们吃烧烤也太浪费了，作画细节爆炸比如拿葡萄
情节紧凑，人设清晰，动作流畅，看过就忘：成熟的动画电影。
比剧版好看，前传性质的作品，讲了维瑟米尔和凯尔莫罕大屠杀的故事，配乐特别好
为网飞猎魔人宇宙打基础 没想到小时候的杰洛特真让人头秃 太大胆了…
作为一部电影来看，还行，作为一个IP来看，有点序章的意味。
杰洛特的老师维瑟米尔成长的故事，告别故乡的女孩伊利亚娜，成为了道德感低，金钱至上的猎魔人。
作为一部电影来看，还行，作为一个IP来看，有点序章的意味。
這不比美劇好多了？我還以為會提到巫3拍賣會裡那位夫人呢。
挺不错的，剧情完整，动作出色，配音大气，但有些地方有点赶工了，80分钟还是太短了
剧情看明白了，但不知道是翻译的锅还是原本对话就云里雾里，看的挺晕的。画面很不错
战斗很帅，但剧情很赶。话说，白狼盖洛特小时候居然是光头，果然光头才是最强的
师傅挺帅，女巫有点靓，打斗不算很惊艳但胜在作画巨特么丝滑流畅高帧，关键时刻不吝于表现血腥度
So beautiful. It doesn't seem real.被击中了。。
在此之前我都快把猎魔人大屠杀忘了🚬说实话，很给劲，血腥场面还给就给毫不遮掩，剧情飞起刀来也一点不手软
女巫和猎魔人之间居然曾有那么深的恩怨呀。。。白狼长大后透过睡遍女巫是报复还是和解呀。。。巫师3迷必须给白狼师傅年轻时的故事打五星。
推广之。“超级英雄”也具有这样的矛盾。一方面，他们的存在是为了铲除奸邪。但他们的力量和特异，使他们具有“非人”的特性从而不被信任。
我恨东亚家庭，宛如最后那个明晃晃隐喻的红薯苗，它腐烂，但我靠它活着，窗外是一个好消息，但我仍置身铁笼子。
毫无征兆的完结，一方面感觉争吵都有点过，一方面又觉得真的想看到讨论的点又不够深。也能理解主创想要刻意淡化的部分，只是仍觉得有点遗憾。
当妈妈太苦了。没法再说更多了，太苦了。以及，女主不是不能好好说话，她是没有多余的力气说话了，要操心的事情太多了，家务、两个孩子的吃喝拉撒，还得照顾丈夫。没人真的懂得她辛苦的程度，而她也没有力气再说了。还好最后都和解了，不然真的太苦了。图什么啊。
