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.

那段妈妈也穿越的反转真的让人泪崩
看预告和简介这不就是"我才不要和你做朋友呢"的电影版吗？
父母子女一场，感情是有方向的，长辈的势能总比晚辈高，感情就从长辈流向晚辈。所有人在任何时代都莫过于此，正因为大家都经历过类似的遗憾，所以才能在电影里得到慰藉，并哭了出来吧。
但如果给我机会，我也想穿回去，不顾一切阻止她的一些决定，因为她本可以拥有更好的人生。
中国式情感绑架的畸形关系，在不断的互相亏欠里自我感动，的确真诚但不该仅仅是这样。
4.5。雪中独行的背影我哭崩了。我的确也有想过，“如果没有我，他们会不会开心点”、“我是不是一个值得被夸耀的孩子”……
全程出戏，被「让自己年轻时的母亲嫁大款」
看唐探3口碑有些扑街，就去看了这个。穿越题材已经不新鲜了，刚开始轻松猜出接下来的发展，导致中间睡着了半小时，后面母女双穿越还算有些新意。但是让穿越者接受自己穿越的事实转换太过生硬。后面发现李焕英也是穿越过来的在奔跑中回忆和自己母亲点点滴滴有些强行煽情。看贾玲演电影总感觉是在演小品，看她哭总有些出戏，同是小品出身的沈腾和张小斐演电影就比她自然。
舞台出来的喜剧演员最厉害的就是顺手抓包，你磨蹭半天折腾一个笑点，她反手就来三个，甭管你说啥小品感，她能让人笑——比唐探好笑很多。用战术上无数小胜积累出结果的大胜，主意和主题都不新，但有用。
现在电影只分好和不好了吗，说中规中矩被骂了，慕名去看了，没有吹得那么神，泪点高，没哭，被喷了，大过年的一定要哭吗，还有什么时候看哭成为了衡量电影好差的标准了。
除了二人转那段开头感到尴尬以外，后面半小时隐形眼镜都给我哭掉，突然想到了电影的最基本的作用，圆梦、完成纪念的使命。
其实，刚开始对这部电影是排斥的，以至于其他几部看完了才来看这部，毕竟小品或话剧改编的电影并不太像电影，台词设计得太完美、太满，梗也太密集，虽然很好笑，但并不真实，不像生活里会说的那些话，倒像加长版的小品(如《夏洛特烦恼》、《羞羞的铁拳》），但好在贾玲的情感是真实的，通过这部电影也让全国观众知道了自己母亲的名字叫李焕英。纵观全片，能看到很多电影的影子，《夏洛特烦恼》、《乘风破浪》、《少林足球》、《夺冠》、《想见你》，不能说它特别好，只能说他特别讨巧，笑点有了，泪点也有了，再加点煽情、反转，母爱升华，确实是大众喜欢的类型。前面90分钟3⭐半，最后30分钟的剧烈反转，纯属意料之外，多加一⭐。
抱歉，一部喜剧电影，基本笑不出来，实在没办法给高分。两位男演员，一位的角色莫名其妙毫无作用，另一位都这模样了还演厂长儿子呢？小品式电影，各种拼凑。小品更合适，本身也出色太多。
做女儿的，觉得自己已经尽可能给妈妈很多爱了，女儿想“下辈子我来当妈”。可是妈妈想的却是“下辈子还是我当妈”，这份妈妈给的恩情，无论怎么还，总是亏欠的。
穿越的真相这个设计特别棒，让电影更有层次。爱永远最催泪。
小品变得电影，母亲题材。
生硬突兀的情节推进之中，饱含着真挚的情感。前面埋下的伏笔，终于在暴力反转中大放异彩。不是艺术品。是礼物，用于纪念的。
真挚的情感是没办法表演出来的。贾玲是在掏心掏肺的展示，演不出来这个效果的。反转设计很巧妙，沈腾乔杉是点睛之笔。
我始终相信，不管技巧高超与否、表达形式如何变迁，也不论古今中外、时空转变，打动人心的永远是最真挚的情感。
