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.

她说，自己想去看看世界的繁华，最后却永远留在了家乡；他说，自己从未想过离开家乡，却不得已四海为家。她怕水，却潜入了珠江；他怕火，却冲向了火海。
我能get到这种稍微有点过时的“怀旧”风格，也喜欢里面的摩托，海景，飞跃珠江演唱会，还有那条长长的廊桥，如果没有最后那场车祸，让欢颂看到头盔上的竹蜻蜓，让她知道那是阿耀不是别人，剧情停在这就可以了。也许韩寒是想把主人公的孤独贯彻到底吧，所以用了郭敬明的方式创造这一切又毁掉一切，“致敬小时代4的大火
打脸了，我对不起为这部电影付出的人，讲故事的技法很成熟，这一次韩寒应该找了几个好编剧，这是韩寒最好的一部电影，现实中没有那么多坏人，最残酷的是现实，是金钱。只是在看毕带着遗憾，可是欢颂不死又能怎样呢，两个人一样买不起广州的房，世界上最可爱的服务员，这个角色给了刘浩存，我觉得刘浩存演的不拉夸。你为了一个演员的黑点给一个电影低分，实际上只要只要这个电影可以上映，也许你就不该行使你那可笑的正义感。这电影，我觉得好看。
单纯不是白痴，复杂不是别扭
韩寒像极了初一那会的我一个高分作文模板吃遍天偷梁换柱之后包装成新品推出去。我甚至觉得跟隔壁《奇迹》的编剧一样多少带点精神残疾，就那么喜欢把打工人逼上绝路然后将生活拍成谍战电影顺带把过激行为正当化。偏偏这俩是相反的俩极端。一个美好的像童话，一个突发恶疾rape观众对角色的情感自我感动完之后恶心其他人，什么中国版《美国末日2》，建议韩寒跟尼尔砖克曼凑对CP。真辛苦那些大过年来看这晦气玩意的人了。
车、女孩、情怀，韩寒只有这些东西了。一场新概念成就了韩寒们，他们又踏上了互联网第一波浪潮。潮起潮落，韩寒们是我们那个时代的，那时代过去了。
开头还挺好的，普通韩式喜剧俗烂风格，可能是特别想拉近现实和无力的批判，导致后来走向了失控，不过韩寒的审美还是可以的，没多大意思
2022/02/17 不难看，但是也没有出彩，韩寒讲故事倒挺流畅观感舒服，但是故事本身实在漏洞百出，相比往作，悲情色彩更露骨浅白，不介意悲剧，但是应该要悲剧得够深刻。大过年得搞这么直白悲剧真是与大众价值背离。。。
愿新年每个人都不必四海为家！
他们都是一座孤岛，在海浪巨轮，风驰电掣中，突然消失，没有奇迹。
真是又长又臭又俗套的故事，以及有让人想翻白眼的韩式幽默对白。 // 两星给取景地南澳和广州
韩寒的电影 一如既往的飙车...从汽车到摩托车 下次是不是可以飞艇了？结局真的让人不美好...也许这是现实 但是前面又给了那么多 不现实
镜头运用以及剪辑上，较上一部真的有进步了。至于很多人吐槽的“房卡”以及“车祸”,我也能理解，配乐上，感觉没有“后会无期”那么出彩了。刘浩存的角色，戏里戏外说服力其实都不够。一起加油啊，韩导，你离你的理想目标还有段距离啊。
老婆6块钱买的B站首播。作为在家已经隔离了一个半月的两个人来说，后半段广州故事的松散俗套并不能完全掩盖影片开头的南澳景光给两人带来的心潮澎湃。
节奏凌乱，叙事生硬，笑点尴尬，毫无电影语言的真人版雄狮少年。韩寒这么大年纪了，曾经也算是个有良知的知识分子，依然热衷于玩车耍酷赚钱，为什么不做点有意义的事情？
还好当初选了杀手没选这部，我要是是在电影院花钱看了的话，我会气死的……但现在经过了这么久的口碑效应影响和心理准备，反而觉得也没多难看。前半段还好，至少还有点笑点，后半段进城后整个垮掉，剧情走向怎么这么迷？充满了蹩脚的拼凑感和矫情的意淫。还有双刘演的都是啥玩意，又不是没演技，这次估计是人物不行，换谁来都没救，且每个角色都不像是正常人。韩寒这次玩飘了，连赛车戏都不好看……他以为他的成绩已经足够舍弃观众审美做自我表达了，然而实力和市场都不允许他的任性了，估计也就只有那些无意义的金句勉强能看了吧。
电影讲了很多故事，到最后你会发现它其实什么都没有讲，韩寒的电影一直都是同一部电影，看多了也便觉得没什么意思。仅有的幽默也是几位演员与生俱来的幽默气质。
为什么要拍Showta哥？
刘浩存真的败笔啊！把她去掉我感觉这电影挺好，听她说话我都难受。2022春节档第三弹，和小姜一起在鞍山看的。2022.4.8，去完南澳岛回来又看了看。
希望以后能够有机会在影院重温。以后作者化的电影不再参考评分了，太坑了。
