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.

象征意义大于电影意义….不能容忍时间太长的电影。
描写的还是蛮真实的，男主的男朋友和女主的女朋友都好会撩哦🥰男主的妈妈好可爱啊，拿着纸条磕磕巴巴的给女主念指南，最后还把纸条给女主了😂男主好幸运啊，虽然妈妈刚知道消息还不太理解不能接受，但是还是因着对他的爱给了他一个拥抱，看女主给爸爸出柜那段感觉女主的演技有点不太能让人特别沉入，反而男主让人感受到了那种压抑，最后的结局也还不错没有特别理想化也不会让人很难过唏嘘
给支持同志领养点赞。结局很是暖心。被出柜真的很辛苦。阿三都直球拍这样的影片了，而我国碰都不敢碰，只能玩玩擦边卖腐，割傻逼们韭菜。。。
近期看的印度电影都是选材直戳社会痛点，但呈现失去控制与克制，走向闹剧风格，比起电影像电视剧，缺乏质感。
但最后故事处理的很好
印度拍出来为同性恋正名的电影，在这个片神奇的国度上，单冲这份勇气，就值得多一颗星。
似乎是印象中看过的第一部带点性戏剧意味的印度电影，男同、女同、形婚、领养，很前卫的因素，更何况是2018年才判定同性性行为不是犯罪的印度，前面的喜剧氛围很浓厚，最后两人坦诚出柜的部分还是皆大欢喜的结局，家人们接受和转变的速度与前面的铺垫相比，显得快了很多，从戏剧冲突的到来和解决还是比较理想化的，不过总体仍然是一部很不错的电影，当然了，前提是能接受无处不在的插曲以及慢镜
拍得不错，连阿三都可以把这种题材拿捏得刚刚好，我们的导演呢
其实单从这种喜剧效果，国内不是做不出来，比如开心麻花，但是关于电影的自由度，关于理想世界的描绘，国内还是太清水，太粉饰。所以希望有一天我们也能在阳光下畅谈、去拥抱五颜六色的世界。
拉吉库玛可能是我最爱的印度男演员了，不算最帅，但特别有男人味。最重要的是，他参与主演的几乎所有电影都具有深厚的人文气息，对印度社会的旧疾沉疴或民生疾苦有较为深刻的剖析或真诚的探讨。
怎么说呢越看下去越觉得在一步一步击碎我的希望，开始倒是挺逗的，期待发生更逗的事情但框架能不能更圆满这种思路吧。总而言之，3/4开始补救后总体观影是感动的，意义很大。整个篇幅和高潮明显是偏相男主角这边的，主动“拉拢”结婚的是他，说谎的是他，隐藏加爹味的也是他（哪个直男本男写的），但被动出柜的是女主耶（和父母吵架的时候，她妈妈说“眼睛低下去”，“我宁愿你去死”这种真的比弟弟说是变态要伤人得多，好心酸），我就知道会触发男主主动出柜，还有两边的感情戏写得……好吧我只能说“妈妈”们更靠谱一点吧，选角也很有意思，我喜欢瑞杰姆和苏美讲英文哈哈哈。真的敢拍，真的敢拍，真的敢拍（说三遍），结尾的游行和婴儿受洗（maybe？）仪式作为整个剧的补充部分，可谓一笔龙脊骨。愿每个人都be yourself，勇敢去爱！
看到骄傲游行小愣了一下，但很快就明白自己又“强国自信”了，印度早就比我们好太多，就拿自己身边事来说，我司在本国招聘性别比1:1，在印度招聘已经7:3了（女：男哦），还有针对lgbt的实习生计划，之前认识的印度女同事说她大学的费用好像也是政府支持的，强国人快醒醒吧
就电影本身而言 剧情拖沓故事老套 但关键是这是一部印度电影 这个不同种姓通婚都有可能被私刑处理的国度 拍出了一部形婚的电影 只能说了不起
这可能是2022年上半年最棒的一部电影了。讲的故事还是老生常谈的出柜，虽然最后是个大团圆结局。毕竟能看到印度已经往前迈进了那么多了。整部片子笑中带泪。如果你们觉得她无药可救，那我也无药可救了。
又抓马又感动，彩虹旗下牵手奔跑给我看哭了😭，双方的父母都好不错。
三观超正，超勇敢，无论现实如何，起码阿三敢想敢拍，反观。。我没脸说
节奏不算好，但在印度这个题材真的勇敢，继上次的维权律师之后，印度又赢了一把。人家开始拍彩虹平权，我们在不让说就不存在。
#永结同心#好看。虽然太浮夸了，但喜剧效果和主演能抗啊。还有H&M真的好时尚😂
跟中邪一类型的 竟然还是真实事件改编 一年也看不到几部华语恐怖佳作 虽然也是dv式的第一人称视角 不过拍的还是蛮刺激的 结局其实能猜到 有一瞬间貌似看到了罗夏 云南风评被害 tmd这片害我晚上做噩梦了
电影方面就比我们开放太多了，居然还有彩虹游行！我们是不是太禁锢了呢？前半部分拖沓，1个小时后才是主要主题。有笑点，有温度，有希望。最打动我的3个地方是，男主在天台打电话给女主哭着说他终于摊牌，随后妈妈上来拥抱了他。还有游行的片段每个人都肆意地做自己，就连警官男主也带上面具跟着悄悄舞谁不向往呢。以及片尾领养仪式上苏米父亲对苏米女友的认可真的是很阖家团圆了。
