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.

尽管前面救妹妹的亲情戏、事件的连贯、兄弟情谊，特别是对印度文化没有深入了解的人，这些都是让人看下去的动力！
他们俩真是…我哭死…
跟《北欧人》差不多是一根藤上两朵花，但是《北欧人》灭嗨，所以显得高级一点，三哥容易嗨过头，就比较逗乐。
双男主角的设定很精彩，电影的大部分看点也都源自于这个设定，天马行空的想象力和印度神话的结合抹掉了违和感，歌舞部份也都带着相当的观赏性，能出色地完成辅助剧情发展的任务。三星半。
无比诡异 有趣 可笑 壮观 五彩的印度主旋律电影
印度的抗英神片，本土双雄干翻大英总督，本片可视为《巴霍巴利王》与印版《变脸》的合体，通过“天神下凡”的神话叙事来讲现代故事，影片中段首个高潮，双男主一个驾驶着烈火战车，一个与猛兽相伴，已经是标准的天神造型。
本来是国家和民族的斗争，怎么变成两个男人的？主体没有升华。
前半段挺好的，就是有点墨迹，后面开挂就开始放飞自我了 哈哈哈哈哈
想看帕丁顿熊2了
不得不说阿三片子的分镜设计是真的赞，视觉冲击力拉满，特效也越来越好了。
主题倒是挺好的，但是形式实在是太夸张了😂😂😂
印度宝莱坞动作神片 这比中国抗日手撕鬼子燃多了 顶级视觉盛宴爽就完了
又好笑又感动，因为爱电影，所有幼稚的行为，都可以变得热血。两位主角先后陷入又爱对方又不得不伤害对方的抉择，真的好有趣！两个老男人互相喜欢的故事，放在大陆真是想都不敢想，明明那么多题材可以做，也可以做得很有趣，可我们就总是以为观众不会爱看，有点可悲。
无数次忍不住自言自语道：真tm牛逼！尤其是双塔大战，卧槽真太tm牛逼了！
不知道是我听错了还是什么，一小时五十一分钟的时候英国士兵中枪发出的惨叫竟然很像合金弹头里面小兵的声音，笑死了
印度的爽片看起来那他喵的是真的爽啊！上天入地无所不能啊，金刚铁骨刀枪不入啊！文能法场唱歌，武能空手擒虎！爽啊！
前半部还是比较正常的，到后面真就是到了手撕鬼子的程度了。不过两大肌肉硬汉看的还是很过瘾的哈哈
还以为是啥好片，实在夸张的没法看下去！比手撕鬼子还励害！要是有这技能阿三应该早已称霸全球了吧？！
2.编剧、摄影、演技都不错，情节太雷，舞蹈有力，肌肉够强。
印度“战狼”，抗英神剧。
