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.

哈哈哈哈哈俺就知道大家都被宣传片过去啦啊哈哈哈哈（还没天空之上够霸总内味儿）女主眉眼之间有点儿像Lily Collins
他們逃他們追，他們插翅難飛 PS：鏡頭晃得我頭暈差點吐了
3.0。正義與忠義之爭，美式港片，但是是邁克爾·貝版大雕電影，貝研發出全新飛天遁地運鏡技術，像極了大雕活塞運動，簡單粗糙粗暴。
一种比较好的青少年亲密关系的引导，不谈性色变，感受爱情的美好。
男主颜值好高！！身材好好！！小甜饼！！女主的身材也好好 羡慕 腰细 翘臀 腿不细是很健康的身材 穿衣自由真好 呜呜呜呜 本来冲着男主身材颜值打四星 但是剧情的确 就勉强三星半吧
一颗星给主演的颜值，一颗星给美好的肉体们，能看但是不能带脑子看。
主角挺拉胯的，没什么剧情，当个动作片看吧。
尴尬在phone sex的时候达到了最高峰…但耐不住男主really fucking my type啊……
说啥纯爱电影，还不如叫性爱电影。剧情一塌糊涂，颜值还是很可的
又臭又长，毫无逻辑，无脑洗白，三观不正……卖拷贝彻底放飞自我，一味追求新科技的视觉特效结果故事讲的细碎，最关键的是特效也不怎么样，毫无意义的手持晃的人晕
又尬又中二…剧情人物动机狗屁不通，一星给摄影，一星给男主肉体
听说颜值很高来看的，感觉也就那样么…苏也没感觉出来苏…没啥意思…
剧情太弱智了，玛丽苏拍成这样也太低级了一点，爱情就是dolove。
为了帅哥美女慕名观看。晋江早年霸道海王富二代爱上我的俗套狗血玛丽苏剧情，再加上很多晋江不能有的脖子以下的描写，国外的言情小说是真的不得行啊。 看到有评论说是po文影视化，可是咱po都比这个有剧情啊。
找回了当年看变形金刚的感觉，也算一种爷青回吧。
哈哈确实不好看（也没有sm啊本来就冲着sm看的
女主五短三粗身材，男主眉压眼凶相，除了打炮根本不觉得在谈恋爱。
卖拷贝终于又回归了一次严肃题材，虽然是改编丹麦同名电影，但是运镜、场面、调度都梦回《变形金刚》。老吉继《罪人》后第二次演翻牌电影，虽然丹尼这个角色本色是很俗套的，但被老吉演的亦正亦邪，精彩无比。总体来说是卖拷贝近些年来不错的商业片，仅次于《危机13小时》和《付出与收获》。
手持打底，特写点睛，还有大量无人机调度的上升、俯冲鸟瞰镜头，音乐把情绪拉满，就像坐过山车，沉浸感太强了，是属于影院的电影，也能展现影院的魅力，在这个特别的时段，私心很愿意支持它。不过，它的文戏太少，两个多小时，除了头尾几乎都让给场面，要不是有表演支撑，观众很难持续沉浸下去。它的形式只是形式，没有捋清和观众的关系，便无法做到极致。
是晋江现在都不会写的那一类富家子x贫家女设定的故事，只为看床戏和脸。想看大哥的床戏加长版。
