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.

死刑的执行流畅的都有点意外，做好了思想准备，还是没想到。
少女漫改一旦突破羞耻度就可以接受，两个主角cp感很强，结局好的好🥹
7..9
就……完全不是我的菜……除了老婆的颜可以嗑。
小虫误入蛛网越挣扎网越紧，不是因为lars滤镜，就是普通人的恐惧传达得很好，揪心到最后一枪错愕得想感谢仁慈。
不如第一部。但是终于看到表白的结局好评。会长真的太会搞场景了吧！
是熟悉的韩寒，没让人失望，《麦琪的礼物》中国版，结尾和韩寒所有小说一样，悲观又讽刺。真羡慕他们，年轻敢闯，有一群猪三狗四的朋友，有个挚爱的人，四海为家。
【Bad】E
辉夜2在b站的评论和评分都起来了耶✌但是站翻译烂的离谱。。。。。
前后剧情太割裂，前半部是不好笑的喜剧，后半部如各位所说是青春疼痛文学，前后衔接太差。其次是人物都没立起来，一张张熟脸轮番上场，但没几个是剧情真正需要的。不过我倒是觉得大家都在吐槽的刘浩存没那么糟，至少是及格了的。
女仆！我的女仆！真由有刘海比漏额头好看很多欸！
比上一部好看，不过国内视频网站要是非得这么翻译的话能不能就别买了。坦白，欣赏我真是醉了
PS骑摩托车可一定要戴头盔啊！
幸好提前看了点历史，不然更晕..../ lars 演技真的棒……
真人版难免有点尬，但是还挺欢乐的，我喜欢这个结局！
前面一半有点儿无聊 可能因为看了两季动画 没有动画那么搞笑 藤原书记的表现好出戏看着好尴尬=͟͟͞͞(꒪⌓꒪*) 会长的🎈气球告白真让人眼前一亮！空气都是粉色的了~ “你要去远方了 所以我把不死药给你”辉夜送出❤️钥匙扣的这句话 听着就甜甜的~ 搞笑又圆满的结局好棒！ p.s.会长扮演者侧颜有点点像刘德华
推进极快、密集玩梗，奉心祭直球有甜到。红头发的优太朗和打酱油的福原遥。最喜欢的男女角色还是石上和早坂。
死刑的执行流畅的都有点意外，做好了思想准备，还是没想到。
这个电影最大的问题是，形式大于内容，写意大于逻辑，虽然内容也算丰富但是脱离实际太多，女主的演技是不行啊。。。
哇⋯全裸⋯為演技打分👍⋯一把火燒了就沒了⋯
