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.

如何与孩子相处，就是如何与这个世界相处。思考，交流，表达情绪……2022第一部暖心作品，菲尼克斯一上来，自带忧郁沉重的氛围效果……
警校同期的回忆真的是这次剧场版最精彩的地方了！虽然最后还是很柯学。但的确比之前几部好看。
What a bittersweet, healing, and intimate movie. Joaquin, Hoffman, and Norman are spectacular. The children's words are innocent yet profound. One of my favourite of the year. 9/10
什么叫东西方文化差异，这片吐露出来的家庭教育理念差异就是最具代表性的了。我也不是没思考过怎么样同少儿沟通，但西方式的教育显然超出把他们当成人一样尊重，而更像是一种纵容式的培养。
100+/100。要看遍美利坚合众国的全部景色，要录下从城市到海滩的全部声音，要收集好每一片共同生活时的粒粒碎片，其实我们都只是想填满生活里那些濒临崩溃的瞬间啊。只有眼睛里充满了不一样的景致才可以忘记面前人的歇斯底里和郁郁寡欢，只有耳朵里填上了喧闹的音节才可以掩盖掉萦绕不绝的争吵与不止不休的辩论，只有心里填满了那些最后认定了是美好的片刻才能把那些人生中所有的苦难和悲伤暂时放到看不见的地方。他说着C'mon C'mon，让我们这些转进地球人躯干里的灵魂们做好这一切，因为这样我们才能把这团死气沉沉的身体活出其他生活不曾有过的活力，才能让我们有权利选择遗忘什么而记住什么，才能拼尽全力对着天空高喊一声：“我来了这么一遭，我活得足够精彩。”
Joaquin也开始性感了啊，男人老了真好。
无条件偏爱安室透，警校组的情节虽然不多但真的很感人
不，是你说你不会记得。
想到了文德斯的Lisbon story还有贾木许的帕特森
真的不错！小五郎的麻醉梗好像不是每个人都get到了 要素齐全剧情连贯
正义并不是随随便便挂在口边摆样子的东西，而是秘密的珍藏在自己心中的东西
很久没看过这样优雅的镜头 仿佛梦回去年moma看的das perfekte Schwarz
母亲要照顾患有精神疾病的父亲，便把儿子托付给了舅舅。于是舅舅和外甥两人开始了一段公路喜剧，他们也在相处中得到了慰藉和成长。
水准线上的电影吧，第一次在电影院看剧场版，确实有些惊艳了！灰常不错！安室真的真的超级帅，松田也很帅，过去的警察五人小组里的都好喜欢。喜欢跟着柯南破案，不用动脑子的开心～
rest your eyes, rest your mouth, rest your mind. 流淌着温柔与孤独的vibe // 学会如何与孩子相处
2022/04/28 锦系町 Toho：第一次在日本看柯南剧场版，从98年到现在，历史性的一刻啊
这两都很帅，小崽子眼睛好大，男主是真的有魅力。
在涩谷看且住在涩谷的人看着熟悉的场景以及各种匪夷所思的操作有种奇妙的魔幻现实感，今年有些帧的柯南居然画风梦回十几年前颜值巅峰时期，略有些怀念。以及我也好想当纸片人，掌握一门外语（还是公认很难的俄语）只需要加一行设定=。=
先打个五星表示一下期待，啥时候能在大陆引进哇
某些人素质太差了吧，好多人都没看呢！就剧透！毛病啊…
