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.

不行还是看到小萝莉就走不动路。十元也依旧美。故事的叙事时间线交错打乱挺有意思20220502 SQ830 | 后半部分哭了半个多小时。What if是此生最后的拥抱与相见？不要放弃啊，保持笑容的话，好运就会来临。20220510 SH
比第一部好看 木村君是不是到60岁还是会这么又拽又帅
看完好久了忘记标记但居然还记得剧情所以给三星。剧情及人物设置其实和1一模一样，大部分情节和1互换应该都不会有违和感，凶手设定和动机还蛮带感的，还是认为更适合拍剧。
虽然故事非常经不起推敲，而且有刻意煽情的嫌疑，但不得不说这么多形态的美丽咩酱，简直是咩粉的大福利
达子&理查&拓少PK三大腹黑恶女，行骗天下·假面篇
大牌太多猜凶失败！比上一部还好看阿，好想入住科尔特西亚酒店，里面怪人太多了，服务也太令人动容了，不依赖于时间的酒店服务，啊，看场电影像做梦像度假（不愧是悠长假期的导演）（木村出卖了一点男相，不错希望下部继续！）
永野芽郁哭起来眼泪好大颗好大颗的掉 从《一半蓝色》的时候就注意到了 好一个可人儿🥰这电影见证了我的工作 从开始上班后 一部电影一周才能看完😢
血缘是不是最重要的，可能人格魅力会使得可爱的人们都走到一起吧。
永野芽郁听我说谢谢你因为你浪费了俩小时。能不能给接点靠谱的剧啊！完全是因为咩才强忍着看完...
天噜，第一部就觉得太冗长，为啥我还要看第二部？⊙_⊙
今晚做个小哭包，好好哭一场|-|……就知道故事背后有隐情，没想到那么催泪T^T这剧最大的败笔不在十元的演技、造型（十年一个样子不老是完全可以做到的，比如我，哈哈哈～演技可以知道真相后回看，细节还是很棒的！硬说浮夸的话，那你是日剧日漫看的少），哈哈，括号那么长忘了说啥，嗷嗷，就是败笔在最后的婚礼，为啥非要给女主找个老公，可能演员的缘故，都没有看出有多亲近，亲密感都没有三爸的强烈>_<总之，为我爱的十元多加一星٩(˃̶͈̀௰˂̶͈́)و
虽然结果是好的，但我还是不能理解为什么养不了还抢别人孩子。
不知道动机但也一早猜到了凶手，故事没啥看头，纯粹看人，看卡司阵容！
只有这样请一群大咖来客串才可以不用靠咖位猜凶手吧哈哈哈，我当然只是为了看最后两分钟的俊男美女戏的…
都是本色出演。永野芽郁可爱，十元女士的造型过于精致了，和那家人的朴素格格不入，就随便看看剧情吧。
剧情就那样吧 东野酒店系列我都挺喜欢的，案件其次主要讲的酒店的服务精神吧。长泽雅美和木村拓哉都爱，配角们也很爱。
乱七八糟的虚假情节 但是咩真的太漂亮了！哭戏好有感染力！十元一如既往得美如画报。
剧情什么鬼，but两个女主+服化道太养眼了，我就不要自行车了。
有点贺岁片的意思，最后把东京酒店最好的员工给洛杉矶酒店，有点小日子舔美爹的意思了，哈哈哈
非常扯，超脱现实了。
