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.

看到了长期压抑的zzzq之下，人类本性的全面反噬……
一部成功的轻松无脑好笑片 蛮好笑的就够了！我的天 女主瘦太多了吧
自怨自艾的人配有second chance？那些拼命生活的人才该有！
55555555😭 clueless的女主彩蛋好残忍 像是给小妞电影营造出来的美丽幻境安了一个无比现实的结尾 我明明还在梦里就被一闷棍打醒
除了女主个性自信的魅力之外，很无聊的电影。
2.5。一些周五中午打发时间的俗套爆米花。
剧本硬伤的情况下拍出了千禧年复兴般的chick flick.像极了多年后成为社畜的你在通勤路上的电台中又听到属于自己年代的teen pop的感觉。
挺欢乐的，好似90-00年代小妞电影，好怀念啊
虽然pc得不能再pc了 但是欧美校园题材真的是怎么拍难看不到哪去
竟然是2022年的新片！我还以为是90s的校园片
下饭电影，Rebel是不是和网飞签了电影协议，最近几部这种美国青春高效电影里都有她。。。btw，真的是瘦了很多！
女主真的很強大，醒來之後還能樂觀面對現狀。不過反派女使壞讓人昏迷20年不追究她嘛？而且女主摔下去的時候她為什麼一臉驚訝，我還以為有什麼反轉。
26分钟的时候真的哭得很惨……重新回到学校这段真的好可爱！！equlity！
涉及了好多元素（友谊、自我、社会时钟），故事很简单。
真的很好看！rebel瘦了好多，话说她胖了瘦了都一样的好看！真的太喜欢她了！片中的小搭档Yaz 和 Janet 也好帅好美啊！ 电影如果抛开喜剧的外衣，内容其实很有意义也很有鼓励作用，呜呜，里面的歌曲也都是我的青春呀。劝大家不要看豆瓣所谓“人人皆专业影评人”的评价，直接去看原片吧！
Are you really serious?

我喜欢布莉，聪明漂亮善良喜欢思考，非常2022高中生
剧情真的不行，三颗星全部是给歌舞成分的。让人非常怀念8、9年前的美式校园青春电影。
带我重回千禧学生时代，很多老歌一响起有一种莫名的感动
