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.

不要离去 如果你能听到。
两年前以为结局在时王，结果时王烂了
冲动型五分。不管怎么说也算是官方给出的一个对于TV结尾的交代了吧，虽然这个交代是天底下令我最痛苦的的一种，而且过程确实没讲清楚，但我现在宣布三个蛋是我这辈子的意难平。
一分给情怀，一分给火野映司，一分给birth的新形态。话说这个反派皮套是不是深渊改的🤔
感觉剧情还不错，但是拍的很赶，很多背景没交代清楚甚至一笔带过，好在还算流畅，原班人马回归而且十年了居然都没怎么变，这实在是很惊喜，和TV版相互对应，中间的哭戏很感人，永恒结婚鸟皮套很帅，TV最后映司的意难平变成了剧场版Ankh的意难平，而Ankh的意难平又变成了我的意难平，对于从10年开始一集一集追的粉丝真的太刀了，东映明明可以拍的更好，但还是有不少遗憾，整体瑕不掩瑜吧，四星，多一星是很感恩ooo还能在10年之后拥有这样一部电影。
反转tv剧情。虽说十年售后但拍得有点不忍直视，唯一能看的皮套还是彩虹结婚鸟…两人一体的时候我这不争气的眼泪…
期待很久，结果低于预期了，重点竟然在婆媳温馨相处和做自己上。感觉像政府拍出来减缓公众焦虑的片子，但一把年纪住群租房真的是好解决方案么，又是每一个失业的人都能有久不联系的大佬朋友么，完全没有说服力啊。
真的是火野映司不断付出的一生，小女孩的线也圆上了，映司抓住了他想要挽救的生命。
狗尾续貂的剧场版 重复tv的剧情设置 只是把安库和映司的立场对换了一遍 并且略微ooc 唯一的看点是安库美人落泪 建议看完tv的结局就行 不用看这部
编剧根本没有心！我给你一拳！！！我怀疑他根本不爱这部作品才能写出来如此之烂的结局！！！！！
毛利，你个叼毛，不敢露脸就那石森章太郎老爷子顶是吧，有种露脸啊
过短的时长导致一切都赶的要死，greeed出场请原演员就像笑话，刚露面就无了，新加的人造greeed也本可以有更合理的处理方式。穿插着的呼应第一集的镜头也呼应的莫名其妙......不是接受不了BE,只是接受不了以这么草率的方式草草收尾。
十年前的Ankh已经得到满足了，他是心满意足地死去的，他也没说过希望你复活他……
greed团在这部的戏份好酱油
按常理来说，剧版里面映司已经是greed了，他应该不会因为肉体死亡而死亡的，但是我感觉也是庆幸的，映司应该是假面骑士中活得最累的，他自己太无私了，也许死亡对于他来讲也是一句解脱
剧情太快且太刻意。情怀不是那么消费的，Goda附身男主看的我浑身难受
怎么说呢 欧兹的起点在哪里 初心在何处 他跟其它骑士有什么不一样 想一想就觉得这结局挺好 愿望这东西 实现了就死日式故事
一部十几年前的剧能有后续也是实在不想到的，至于结局，唉，不过东大妈终于舍得花一次钱了，摄像，特效，皮套，场景布置都能看出下了功夫了，剧情也还行，不过细节太少了，就像一句话只有主谓宾，没有定状补丰富一样，还行
我好像懂，我又好像不懂，我也不知道我看了什么
毛利亘宏你就是歌姬吧！
