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.

20年前《大人帝国反击战》小新的奔跑守护的是憧憬美好未来的决心，而20年后小新再次奔跑，却是坚守活在当下的信念
青春是可以犯错但是不留遗憾，青春是影应该拥有美好的回忆。看了那么多关于青春的电影，没想到被一个幼稚园的孩子定义了。
但是谁都知道以后的事变数太多，所以小新才要大声骂回去：要活在当下啊。
第一部蜡笔小新，没头没脑的恶趣味背后是对当下生活的审视和对快乐的永恒追寻。
2022.5.14-5.15 什么精英不精英，快乐最重要！无奔跑，不日剧！
露露“我不喜欢人类，但我喜欢你。”
永远保持一颗傻子般的童心，多是一件美事呀。
真的有被小新的动作给笑到，强行推理了。SY
露露“我不喜欢人类，但我喜欢你。”
能看亿遍。
为什么热衷操行分、活动分和校园灵异故事的中国没有拍出来这个，即便是《蜡笔小新》，我也绝不原谅！
一部电影所具备的内核点燃了，不怕电影不精彩。4.5星
青春是什么 就是当下！
"青春是恋爱，闪闪发亮，自卑感，后悔，人情世故，孤独，好耶好耶，曾经拥有，此时此刻，Fire，谜团重重…"
风间为了让几个人留在同一所中学（害怕几个人分道扬镳）才被迫接受大人的教育，压抑自己的天性，唤醒他天性和纯真的是他一直爱着的朋友们。后半段热血又感人。
剧场版无论是亲情还是友情都能讲得让人热泪盈眶
青春是铁面具，青春是恋爱，青春是闪闪发光，青春是自卑感，青春是后悔，青春是人情道义，青春是孤独，青春是狂欢，青春是曾经有过，青春就是当下，青春是哈哈，青春是FIRE！
哈哈哈，没想到居然这么好笑。小新与小伙伴们去春日部学院试学，发现学院有“吸屁屁鬼”，于是几个小朋友组成了侦探社，通过自己的努力和误打误撞，解开了春日部学院的谜团。风间居然这么喜欢和小新他们在一起啊。小新虽然是“傻瓜”，但肯定不会吃亏的。除了“吸屁屁鬼”和风间变成傻瓜这两部分很好笑以外，最后的马拉松也燃得不行。青春啊，谁会不喜欢呢？
看点：1.阿呆姐弟恋，2.小新变柯南，3.反派有爱情，4关于友情的思考，最后有鸣人佐助的意思了。
