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.

今早起来照镜子面容白皙透亮，睡眠不足依旧神采奕奕，这就是BL的力量！
OVA的剧本就别搞剧场版了……（虽然尬舞真的不行）……
【IFFMH】适合沉浸式观影，没在大银幕看还是不打星了
特典场。看了之后好幸福！因为你，我的世界有了色彩。为了对方而想要成为更好的人。所以，即使不在一个地方，但总会再见的。
探底的一刻，老人逝世，“上帝已死”，人类心中对未知的敬畏彻底熄灭。洞穴图纸绘制完成，地下已无秘密，地上大雾弥漫，什么都看不清。
有几个小点我比较萌哈哈，蠢太“你很不对劲”的时候我超喜欢好吧，这种霸道的感觉嘤嘤嘤！太戳我了。不喜欢的是，为什么做什么事都要用爱的名义去搞一个很宏大的概念呢🤦♀️我觉得这点剧情不太行，不过我本身就是BL动漫的忠粉，所以四星啦
好奇怪的剧情 😰 一边玩手机一边看才看得下去
就是跳舞的动画略有点尬，不过脖子下面的黑线终于去掉了，谢天谢地！
原来这句话这么美好💕
拉长到电影的长度反而有些无聊了，沙雕情侣的日常才是最有趣的啊～
一方是征服天空的欲望，一方是探索地底的渴求；一方是看向洞外的狭窄视野，一方是农村看向城市生活的黑白电视；一方是对自然探求的一处尽头，一方是一个生命自然走到了极限；
爱就是要大声说出来。
电影节就该多点这种简单又养眼的电影，看完就跟蒸了次桑拿一样神清气爽。
和我邦舅的记忆朝晖呼应列入本次电影节最舒服观影
探底的一刻，老人逝世，“上帝已死”，人类心中对未知的敬畏彻底熄灭。洞穴图纸绘制完成，地下已无秘密，地上大雾弥漫，什么都看不清。
真的很想体验时间和空间的折叠感，和不断深入的惊奇感，然而，一个半小时，叠加在一起的感受还是很无聊，真的挖了一个半小时的洞，然后出结尾字幕了
这部有关空壳人的台词说得很精彩，也阐释了一种美好爱情的存在期望和意义。
慕名而来。蜜汁纯粹又热烈。。以及主题曲真好听呀
还是很扎实，地质勘测与巨洞探险，赋予行为和地理以合法性，联系起老人的意外死亡，脉搏的起伏与地洞的深度似乎紧密相连。
没有阴影线了 好评 但多处人物崩坏 弗朗明哥也太拉胯了 啊啊啊啊 什么啊 1.5倍速看完 什么都没记住啊 表白说什么爱上一个人 会变的脆弱这种话 我真的眉头一皱啊
