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.

一名警察在经过内部调查后被停职，他在全国各地游荡，寻找自己的网恋对象。
在彼此的私人荒漠中游荡。/开场的配乐让我想到古斯塔夫的吉他。
一狮一狼一人一个私人领地，她们在一起过着快乐温馨自在的生活。
男孩始终还是最懂男人的心思，但活在现实中的我们可能不怎么相信电影结尾那一段转变，或许真实的他与他就是如此吧，在相遇分别后各自都找到了属于自己的真实模样。
景真美，女主真美，小狮子依偎在女主怀里拼命抓住的时候 心都化了。此生最讨厌马戏团、猎人和打着研究课题保护野生动物的所谓科学家，真巧 片子里所有的男演员演得都相当讨厌，除了小男孩，演科学家那个演员…醉了 片子最后一句话：莫扎特和梦想家兄弟情深 不止在电影中，现实中也一样，它们会一起住在加拿大，终身受到保护
烂！Mozart Dreamer 和风景各得一星
大猫猫和大狗狗的美好故事。如果不是CG动画的狮子和狼，那真的要给最佳演员奖！
就这么说吧编剧你把娄烨的电影看了几遍？开头一句如果我走了，我以为下句要接你会不会像马达那样找我？80年代大学校园，放着同样的我的青春小鸟一去不回来和7little girls setting in the backseat ，你再掰扯下到底是借鉴还是复刻哒？中间干细胞你没那科研造诣就真的别写，又去戈壁滩干什么？？合着男主角当了一辈子处男还有闺女了？高粱怡给你们下重金了？？？
3星，其中2星给电影，再加1星给男主的颜。
很不像烂片的烂片，很难看懂。娇柔做作，无病呻吟是我不能够欣赏的类型，想表达的文艺却很糟乱，一头雾水。已经很用力投入想办法进去剧情，可惜不果。bytheway晚上坐在前面那对情侣真的很贱，全程毛手毛脚就算了，银幕画面是尸体的时候竟然还给我接吻，给我去死！！！滚出电影院啊最反感这样的观众真的无语死，本来就觉得难看的电影难上加上，太难看了。非常糟糕的一次观影体验。
有些比较有趣的地方，而且王朔作为编剧调侃“写书的那个王哥”以及经典的重逢有戏梗还算动了丝笑容；然而王传君诗朗诵的念白仿佛把人拉入科教频道的医疗纪录片，并且从未停歇的抒情音乐，扯了快两个小时…当然，都是「作者电影」了，也不计较我们喜欢罢了。饰演“王小莫”的是王啸坤- -害，谁还不是“番茄台古早选秀宇宙”出身的人，也算某种奇妙的荧屏重聚。希望此生能看见王珞丹和“京圈”、“大妞”、“京腔”割席的一天，姐子你清醒一点。
除了摄影之外，毫无优点，烂俗的故事，烂俗的角色。
女主种种令人反感的表现是为了反衬小动物可爱咯
“捍卫动物的自由”，说得容易，做到真难。很多地区，连人类自由都还没有呢。
大绿光，大红裙，大背影，是前所未有的寂寞。不是爱而不得的荒漠，是不被认同的内心荒漠，很私人。
虽然最后的情节小离谱 但是我觉得这样主题的电影很有必要 拒绝动物表演 从我做起
镜头大体不错，但切换生硬。
远远超出预期，非常喜欢！我喜欢这部电影两个点，一个是厚重感，一个是超现实，超现实的尺度拿捏得恰到好处，而厚重感我觉得主要来自于超长的时间跨度和海量的素材和细节，看的出来确实拍得非常用心，没想到中国还能拍出来这种调调的电影，因为我一直都认为这是独属于欧洲的文艺调调，令人惊喜！这部电影对于我来说最大的魅力是能让不喜欢旁白过多的我而喜欢它，四星半！
点播一首离别的车站，“也许我会留下来当渔夫”，车驶出后方看见车站外的荒漠。Daniel全城贴网恋对象的照片寻人简直恐怖故事
这片子节奏完全不对啊，如果把那些有关用药和永恒的东西展开讲是一个很好的话题，哪怕扯也没关系，而不是用一些暧昧的无关痛痒的话打哈哈过去，又在前面铺垫了太久那些无聊的北京往事，看到一半我差点走了。最可气的是，两位女士都是朝气蓬勃有理想，被男主左一个嫌弃“像白酒”右一个嫌弃“还是小时候好”，最后还都屁颠颠的为男主卖命，这也太自我感动了吧，我都不明白人家图啥啊。
