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.

怕发生的都没发生 呼 真好 印度电影有点现象级
没有假戏真做，没有奉子成婚，结局没有离婚而是领养，情理之中
又名《掰开揉碎讲婚姻》、《一山不容二虎，除非两公两母》
因为是发生在中印边境邦的故事，所以找了个藏南的演员吗？
虽然但是，这可是印度同志电影！！游行出来的时候眼泪唰就流下来了😭
这是一部轻松诙谐的电影，但是它探讨的意义，展现的未来却是沉重的。印度电影总能在社会议题上面下功夫，这也是我们渴望国内电影
求求别再happy ever after了
8.0/10
片名直译是祝贺, 刚好我最喜欢最喜欢的是他们婚礼的那一场, 歌舞好有感染力, 大家都在尽情地享受这个好像只有快乐的时刻. 喜剧部分做的优劣各半吧, 比如那些一见钟情的慢镜头就挺好玩的, 但是后半段拿偷传对方无法生育来当搞笑点就真的觉得反胃. 本来想叹一句南亚同性恋也难啊! 看到最后: 那当然是没有南亚女人难!
男主的妈妈，女主的爸爸，可能生命中，会有那么一个人，我们只要她/他的支持就好。
片子3星，精神1星。我就是要反思了：某站剧集里关于LGBT人群的正经科普都要删减，我们做的还远远不够
3.5分。两个同性青年假结婚来骗亲人并最终获得谅解的故事，这个故事情节可能算不上新鲜但是印度拍出来的话确实还挺新鲜的，不是印象中的封闭落后国家思想也开始前卫起来了。但是电影是电影，生活是生活，现实中如果有这种事的话，我也挺难理解的。
虽然是印度电影，却感觉像中国故事…很流畅，还不错
没想到印度都能拍这种片了 不过结局过于理想化了
印度都在拍gay和les形婚了，中国却连耽改都给禁了，这是这部电影让我想到的最可笑的一点(bushi)，故事很棒，节奏很好，笑中带泪，很有内容的喜剧片。
没错，这就是总笑人家干净又卫生的印度拍的，不知道天天觉得高人家一等高在哪？一直嘲笑别人，结果人早就领先你好多了
印度第二部全国公映的的的lgbt电影，依旧处处展示着平权符号的命题作文，这次取材经典的gay和拉拉形婚的故事。从真雄起结尾的除罪化到这个电影结尾漫天的彩虹旗，见证同性恋在一个地区生存环境慢慢改变这种感受总是迷人的，尤其是生活在一个没有希望（单纯指同性平权）的地方。不过看下来确实不太喜欢的来，和已经感受上先入为主的真雄起这种从一条线猛打的故事比起，想表达的更多，但也混乱了更多，不过三观正就完事了。会持续关注印度后续的同性题材电影。
为啥韩国和印度电影那么出名，是有原因的。
形婚之后面临的一系列的问题
