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.

蒙蒙雨过去看，淋着雨回来了…
这不是写实电影，这是魔幻片。感觉看了好多内容，又好像什么也没接收到。救命啊......
男女主都爱的太克制，女主克制是因为觉得自己不那么干净，配不上男主吧。她一直在等男主主动，甚至给了很多机会：约会，给他房间钥匙，给他酒店号码…男主一直没有说出那句：这些年我一直爱着你…他爱女主吗？是的，但爱的是那个记忆里的她，那个清纯美好善良的少女。他是因为怯懦不敢表白，还是他内心压根没法接受不再清纯的爱人，所以选择了不说？谁也不知道。最美好的爱情是在记忆力，永远封存。这才是不老奇事。
能看下去的话还是很有感觉的，看似来回跳转切换，其实这就是生活。当然演员们表现都很好，不过这个导演拍的乱七八糟。

垃圾剪辑，你搁这乱切啥呀，很明显这是文艺片，需要的是情绪，情绪，情绪；不是镜头数量！！！
郭小鲁沉浸在自己的梦里，感动自己，但他没有为凌芳做过什么，他潇洒自如，说走就走，这是潇洒
除了女主，都挺好，后半段有点拖沓了。前半段那种老式生活的描写复古极了
王朔自比阿甘，是郭小鲁也是苏玲芳，一次完整的抄书。前半截尤其王朔，特贫、逗乐，王珞丹真的很适合风尘女；后半截所谓的科幻有点拖沓，但是终究比郭帆《李献计历险记》拍得好。高粱饴是真的很难吃，勾起了一些不好的回忆，王传君的形象像我一个没联系了的好朋友，我很想他。
火车外，金灿灿的地，蓝蓝的湖和天空。看过了，真的会在心里记一辈子呀。王传君的演技我真的很喜欢。让人唏嘘不已感慨万千的剧情。
死生寂灭，涅槃轮回，我们何苦难为这个世界呢？你只活在……
今天约会对象把我约到他家，我俩就全程看完这部电影诶🦦🦦🦦
亏得是王哥编剧，没他的话这部会好点还是差点就难说，可惜了好演员，这中间那么胡扯确实是奇事。
🌝🌝很是跳跃，给人观感就是分解，不过两位演员表现不错，旁白也OK。拍得有点意思又不够意思的程度。所以呢，就是没拍好呀。丁萌萌很可爱。
看评分没抱希望，却还觉得不错。调调很好，情绪把控的也不错，剧情稍垮，总体质量上层。豆瓣对国产片太苛刻了
一部电影最可怕的就是，关掉画面不影响你懂这个故事，打开画面，你以为这是电视剧。
爱情这玩意，轻易别沾，没啥好果子吃。
什么都想说一点，结果好像什么都没顾到，故事还是可以一看的。丁萌萌的爱情比主线更好看。。。
6.5/10.
其实是《阿甘正传》的叙事模式+《恋恋笔记本》（阿尔兹海默症）。王珞丹的人设跟《阿甘正传》的女主太像，最后的女儿也像是复刻阿甘的儿子。
