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.

米有了孩子，明星梦也放下了。
孩子没有缺陷，有缺陷的是不顾别人自私自利的心。
其实本来是个非常深度的题材，可惜导演功力太弱只讲了个皮毛，最后沦为合家欢电影，也不是说合家欢就一定不好，而是电影以“代孕”为主题，应该更深入探讨的是促成代孕这一黑色产业链背后的原因、风险、以及后果，导演应该比我们更清楚，在印度这样的国家，每年因为代孕流产、难产致死或者终身不孕的代孕妇女有多少，这些女性的生活因为这一特殊“职业”产生多少翻天覆地的变化。我也知道，不能以纪录片的标准去要求一部电影，但如果这只是一部爆米花电影就算了，倘若导演想要或者尝试探讨的是深刻敏感的社会话题，那这部电影理应有更强的社会使命感，让人们看看代孕后面临的是什么，女性的子宫不能成为买卖的原因是什么，以及那么多国家坚决明令禁止“代孕”的理由又是为何？这才是以后能避免“郑爽之流”的根本。
实属灾难，这个系列就此收手吧！大卫耶茨他原本只是懂个屁的叙事，这次连视觉效果都屁都不懂了。前两部虽然也是叙事混乱，但至少还能留下不少值得玩味的人物线索和魔法世界独有的视觉奇观，而这部有个什么鬼东西？虽有140分钟的时长，但根本上什么东西都没有讲；作为商业电影在视听上没有任何能让观众享受的点，作为HP的衍生作品对人物和魔法世界的塑造都毫无推进。还有就是大卫耶茨的所谓“个人表达”，人人都是谜语人，台词不要明着说，给你个镜头让你自己猜；在这种人物动机十分混乱的剧本之下实属恶心到了，整个观影过程如坐针毡。最后，邓布利多的秘密是什么？这么长的时间里，所有角色没有任何成长，观众对任何角色的认知也毫无新的增长，第二部结尾时什么样这一部结尾时还是一个样；邓布利多的秘密就是复读前两部的台词，就这就这就这就这？？？
每一个人都是促成代孕的因素之一
小孩真的那么重要吗？郑爽想打掉的孩子怎么办？
七分，影片想用轻松的语言探讨了一个不让人轻松的“代孕”的话题！ 所谓存在即合理，还是希望各国有严格的法律对其加以约束……
冷门佳片！你不需要生育一个孩子来成为父母，你也不需要拥有自己的亲生孩子才能成为父母，代孕风波，为人父母是一份责任。还挺感动的！
结尾强行HE了，这样看代孕好像没有什么太大的弊端？那又为什么各国明令禁止代孕？起码我更想看到这条产业链的黑暗面。mimi放弃梦想用心抚育孩子四年怎么会轻易放弃？美国夫妇那么深的执念怎么会突然释怀？两方都快速退让的圆满结局只会存在电影中……
话题这么严肃，但是电源结尾有点回避现实的感觉，只能当做一般的爆米花电影，看看还是不错的
上一部废话了两个多小时点了个锅炉，这一部废话了两个多小时来了个“爱人再见”。大卫耶兹是不是便秘严重呀？要不然为啥他的电影就像一个屎意汹涌但就是拉不出来的倒霉蛋？还有JK罗琳的剧本，毫无逻辑到没有一个角色在干人事儿，中间整了这么多烟雾弹，之后就是一个麒麟争夺战，情节真的一团乱麻。这两个人真的是靠情怀又划水了一部。鬼知道这个系列究竟在讲啥！
活着比死去更难。
这甚至不像是一个人能说出来的话。
咋说呢，看似一个意外而又圆满的结局多少让人感觉不太真实，人都是自私的，再怎么样也会想要自己的没有缺陷的亲生孩子，无论什么代价。我相信这会是真实存在的故事，无论哪一方都不会太好过，这就是现实…
Jesus真的好难看，全程无起伏全程都是尿点，就只是两个老gay打架，拔叔一出场就好像风骚老gay百年名媛密会老情人（没有说裘花和拔叔不帅的意思），就这还剪出来2个半小时，心疼后期，回家之后把1和2重温了一遍，果然三部一部比一部难看
代孕真的考验人性 不是每一孕母都能那么幸运
拍的真好，选择放手会成长。为了他好，会选择退出。但还好，结局很好。
到底什么才叫父母？是传递你的基因，还是传递你的爱，才叫父母？相比于只生不养的动物行为，爱孩子的，才叫父母。
结尾有点心酸，每个人都和爱的人在一起了，只有邓布利多和爱过的人失去了最后一点羁绊
故事好看，两个点各减一星。1.终极对决设定在不丹，但是不丹人都是NPC；2.人类用动物当工具，巫师用神奇动物当工具，都是垃圾。
