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.

其实改的算不错了 加的东西也没有很突兀
真是很久没有看过这类电影了，印象最深的是片尾的火车，有些意思
真没大家说的那么差。“欢颂 希望你以后住的每一间酒店房都是含早的”，这是韩寒式的情话，虽然有点土气的幽默劲儿 但起码是深情的贴近生活的。还有沈腾抱着刘昊然说的“希望你以后不要活得像我。”当搞笑的人儿都开始认真了 很难不被感动。还有跳下海游泳的时候他们开心地喊“我是车王”、“我是海王”“你们都是王吧！”这些文字小游戏也是他的小把戏 我觉得总比屎尿屁的无厘头要有趣得多。还有刘浩存 你们可以说她演技不好人品不好 但不能否认她是真的好看 别多让她多说话 好好在电影里走走笑笑也是养眼的。关于飞跃什么江什么桥 关于车 关于梦想 韩寒一直隐晦 没关系 纯当一个搞笑片剧情片来看也能给个3星。
上海封城期看的网络资源，意外觉的很不错啊……人活着，太难了。刘昊然演技了的，对他的印象大为改观！
还不错啦，这部剧里的歌挺好听的，最后男主女主的双向奔赴爱情很不错
车技炫酷，最欠缺的就是故事情节了，怎样讲好故事！台词也废话连篇，不接地气。兄妹俩的死亡都很突然，充分验证了那句话：不作不死。
三颗星是及格，两颗星的意思是这部片在我心里没有及格……我因为韩寒+刘昊然+沈腾，春节档才首选了这部片，结果是帮别人鉴雷了！这坑爹的操作，真的无法想象是韩寒的作品！ 我不理解这部片想告诉我什么，想讲个故事，或者情怀，哪怕单纯讲车技也好！这部片都没有讲好！！！ 父亲在外打拼为了什么？男主在码头表演摩托车又为了什么？一群人在街头飙车说的那一大段台词又为了什么？女主的哥哥借高利贷又是因为什么？两个人后期去深圳打拼充斥着现实的无奈与编剧的脑洞！！！每一个桥段的设计都不知道导演想表达什么！
完美还原了高中喜欢人时的敏感和小心翼翼，好青春好喜欢！
建议过年这种片子不要放到贺岁档，大过年的看这种片子压抑的要死，郁闷😒 看完整个人都不好了👎
“大人的世界我真的超不懂，明明可以好好相处，为什么一定要互相伤害。”“我也有很多不懂的事啊，但是没关系，我们可以慢慢长大，慢慢懂。”
Only Fools Rush In，显然韩寒已不再是年少的他，针砭时弊的话语不以文字的方式满腔愤怒喷薄而出，取而代之的是埋藏这部电影里的暗线：留守的小镇青年，另有家庭的父亲，网贷时代的欠债，身份证代表的阶级，以及永远他们都不会打开的211大门。城市化的残酷无情，被迫离开家乡的人们，现实主义题材不会是这部电影的主题，叙事前后的割裂，只能以各种堆砌的段子和音乐烘托推动情节发展。唯一的女性角色虽然刻板僵硬，寥寥草草的台词里一句“那你和你妈对接去吧”，倒也彰显出女性主见的魅力。好在家乡仍然是可以做梦的地方，亦如我们脱下虚假的面具死去，回到肆意生长的最初。“梦里不知身是客，一晌贪欢”。
韩寒在《四海》里说：你竭尽全力争取的，到最后也不是你想要的。阿耀最想要的，或许只在南澳岛上他床头的那本《麦琪的礼物》里。
台湾的高中生这么夸张吗，成人演学生的世界太过于老道和熟练。
给我们上映了这部电影
小清新的片片，台湾比较擅长的类型，没有什么惊喜，一切都在正常的发展，名字就预示着结局。不过还是应该有人吃这套的吧。
后劲非常大，过了这么久，还是觉得特别难看。
奶奶眼睛好大演技好夸张啊
青春讲不出新鲜事，但这样平凡的带着真诚的经历就挺好，小岛比较容易留住温情，我们大概会觉得这玩意不值得拍。
这很韩寒 人生不如意 十之八九 故事不必都圆满 生活里 没有什么是不会来的
如果能早点互相告白就好了，这互相暗恋，互相以为对方喜欢别的人让我急死我了
