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.

戳爷的颜太加分了，剧情真的很一般很正能量很美丽卡...
戳爷太可爱了，剧情比《被抹去的男孩》顺畅！但是lesbian的情节很明显是缺乏调查的非lesbian写的，哪个拉拉会吐槽对象阴道松啊，说得好像手指被夹紧一点会仙乐飘飘一样。（除非是我自己缺乏调查）
但是也充满了迷茫
但是剧情感觉好碎，有点食用困难。
本想打2分的，为了戳打3分。人与人的青春烦恼差别如此之大，多么希望每个人都能肆意享受自己的青春，同时又不搞砸一切。
必须要为戳加一颗星
无聊得好像船要来了，叮叮叮叮红灯闪啊闪吊桥升起来横杆挡住你的去路只能等待等待可是船一直没有来的那种无聊…
很具强烈反差的纪事方式，高饱和度的美景和残酷的战事背景形成强烈冲突。安静祥和的村民生活，孩子们美妙的歌声，白狗软化人心的微笑表情，与下一秒炮弹轰击而至，一切化为灰烬，形成了强烈的冲突。大鹅的电影表现力真有大幅提升了～
很久没看过这样的电影了 爱情友情亲情 轻松 少年感
流了好多眼泪，没有想象中大量的战争画面，只是简单的展现无辜的人民是如何被那群极端民族主义者羞辱折磨以及屠杀，失去亲人的青年为了复仇毅然决然地加入民兵，七十岁的音乐老师为了他死去的孩子们拿起步枪，厌恶战争珍爱家庭的vlad也在妻儿被轰炸死亡后重拾军人的身份。现在，乌东人民终于迎来了他们的解放，希望赶紧重建被战火摧毁的城市，祝福他们拥有和平稳定和美好的生活。
就是对这种美式清新百看不厌，夏日，海边，烟火…
整部片子的调子我还蛮喜欢的，不羁、轻松、有趣。Troye Sivan演起戏来好灵。
单纯看了颜值 戳爷真的太好看了 少年感👍🏻印度小哥也很可爱 可是为什么这么渣
氛围感绝了，全靠戳爷撑起来，初二就开始爱的男孩啊
非常小清新的甜甜gay片 可惜剧情太清汤寡水 探讨问题也都浅尝辄止 两位演员顶着帅气的脸却居然毫无火花到我要怀疑他们撞号的程度 如果是大型mv尚可接受 作为电影不太够格 ps：我能看出戳爷在演技上努力了 但还是不尽如人意哈
戳爺神顏 音樂好聽 色調初夏 故事是成長的煩惱
必须要为戳加一颗星
想讲的太多，一股脑塞进去却没有任何触动的点
加长版音乐电影 剧情上没什么意思 骑车的那段特写有点感觉是为了模仿CMBYN 音乐也不够好听 3星了事
The touching part isn't the gay part, it's the family part. 全世界最不缺的就是垃圾人和垃圾父母
