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.

顺利共情到“反派”，不觉得很不公平吗，如果不是“反派”，这个巴斯光年就会变成反派，总有一个人会宿命般的成就另一个人，以没有选择的悲剧成就另一个人的所谓的救赎和圣母心，草啊，凭什么。
比上一部好看，上一部打了四星，这一部应该有4.5，哈哈哈，好喜欢长泽雅美。真真假假，游戏人生，有趣。
这一部感觉更多地在说三人组内部和回忆的事情啊哈哈哈。。
开篇后前十分钟差点给我整哭，但后半段有点力不从心的感觉。即使这样，我都要说—你可以永远相信皮克斯。
七分刚好，一个手办的故事集，生动诠释一个好汉三个帮。
还是熟悉的多重反转套路，但我已经这熟悉这三个人了，哪怕小少爷已经有点破相了……
失望之作 不知道是东出昌大这个人让人烦还是小少爷这个角色写的太无语了 居然想让达子做“普通女孩” 你没事吧？
除了主角，其余全是黑人，很“正确”。和电影内容一样，这部电影本身，就像在完成什么任务，整体乏善可陈，不够有趣。以皮克斯的水准来说，它是失败的。看完我决定重新去刷一遍《玩具总动员》系列
除了看到东出渣大有强烈生理不适，其他都挺好的
剧情一般，尤其是后半段太过突兀，像是众多科幻片的融合体。
这个系列已经模式化了，主要来看麻酱变装，彩蛋的兔子萌化我了啊啊啊！只能出现在台词里的杰西和star让我好想抹泪ToT
麻酱\生日快乐/！！！剧情不必多说，之前每一部都有的大反转其实早就给观影拔高了期待门槛，只能用一次比一次离奇的目的设置和新人物推动展开。不过有电影真好啊，还能一直让Star和杰西活在另一个宇宙里。
22-111. 邏輯漏洞太多了……而且藍衣“警察”的演技也太裝了吧，沒什麼新意，很一般般
IMDB只有5分给我属实整懵了，带着极低的心理预期去看，我觉得不至于吧，是普通合家欢动画片的水准，虽然比起皮克斯的平均水准还是差了一些，剧情并没有让人感动，但也和海底总动员2还有汽车总动员那些续集差不多；以及，我看了全片都没有注意到传闻中的亲吻画面…..
下饭都看不下去了。所有的角色都很疲惫，长泽雅美因为这个系列给人一种准备养老金退休饭的感觉了，一次两次搞反差还行，一直看就麻木了。导演去开个新作吧。
没有人死，惊喜。这两天意外的看到两次最喜欢的日本女演员——广末凉子，看着就觉得不年轻了，一搜，42岁了。唉！我也三十一了。
一如既往地好看，快乐。
这个故事能在90年代初骗andy买玩具，但不太能骗2022年的我买吧。是皮克斯粉丝看了都要骂人的程度，迪士尼还我皮家的原创性和独立性！！！
To infinite and beyond。
麻酱浮夸的演技，居然让我觉得可爱……滤镜如果一直在，是不是就算光环了……
