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.

太温柔了…当光芒从地底浮现，植物在trolls的身体上蔓延，我似乎可以听见它们共同的呼唤，mother。
关于和平关于爱，治愈系温暖风动画片~长出草草，可可爱爱的巨魔呀❤️
每个物种都有好有坏
个人心目中毋庸置疑的2021年最佳动画，对原作画本完美的补充演绎，简单的感动和治愈。
节奏很好也很快，没看过以前剧集的也能看进去，挺好。
巨魔妈妈也有温柔的一面
20220108 3.5星吧,diversity+inclusion+女性/兒童能頂半邊天題材.畫風過於兒童,木有好聽的BGM.不過腦洞還挺大的
希尔达重拍了《进击的巨人》和《沼泽地的女儿》，爱产生力量，爱战胜一切。
在一个名为Trolberg的城市，希尔达一觉醒来，发现自己进入了巨魔的身体。随着人类生活范围的扩张，巨魔与人类之间的矛盾越来越尖锐，而她必须利用智慧与勇气重新找回自己的身体...
为什么没有火🔥！在早上五点钟哭到脑壳痛痛😣那是古老的过去，那时人类与万物共享一位母亲，那就是自然大地。
没看过前景剧集，误打误撞跑来看了电影版终章。天啊，每个角色都善良勇敢，不论是希尔达的朋友还是巨魔人。就算是猝不及防的看到结尾躺在地底下的母亲，还是被感动得一塌糊涂。
感觉差了那么一点，人物行为动机没解释清楚，但节奏快，剧情饱满，主题凸显。
看了作者Luke Pearson的采访，说自己更像Johanna的角色，呵护着Hilda。我也非常能够与Joanna共情，常常想象自己是一个母亲，泪点很多。工作之后要承担的责任也有一些相似，希望能够分开/适应。推荐给所有小朋友和大朋友。
呜呜呜呜呜 motherhood be curing anything
没有看过剧集 有点难进入剧里 看着看着打瞌睡
没看过剧情版，没有什么情怀，单单看电影，略微一般，没什么特色。
讲母爱。没有纯粹的坏人，纯纯的讲母爱，蛮治愈的
我的早餐下饭剧暂时全部结束啦。没有带任何预设去看了这部电影，真心希望人类可以和所有生命好好相处，不要常常臆想自己被伤害的桥段。感谢希尔达！人类和巨魔的对比刻画得非常好，能无限引起人的思考。在任何一段关系中，大概真得都需要一些信任？或者需要更多的爱？有时候甚至需要一些奉献？
结局还行。母爱伟大。
原来这部是剧场版哦～还好啦没那么影响观感～蛮喜欢！
