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.

已经欣赏不来了这种青春疼痛文学了，是我老了么？只觉得剧情东拼西凑零零碎碎。
无疑是韩寒导演生涯迄今为止的最佳作品。《后会无期》是生硬的段子集锦，靠着出色的OST拉了点路人印象。《乘风破浪》剧情漏洞颇多，剧作水准停留在高中作文层面。《飞驰人生》剧作紊乱，依靠莫名其妙的设定试图制造复杂的背景，更是以无意义式开放结局掩盖其捉襟见肘的剧作水准。而本片却规避了以上大部分的问题，开片的电影感更是胜过从前所有作品，克制了惯性抖机灵，也努力修正自身编剧问题上的侥幸与潦草。迷茫而又孤独。唯有缺憾恐怕就是又再次拍了一部重复的电影。
这部电影有意义，但是不算太多，这就像是韩寒给机车的一封情书
故事的组合，情节的落点，镜头的手法是“纯粹圈钱”的水准，这就是前十分钟的观感，如果后面没有，我会把这段话删掉。
韩寒最好的电影。说三点：
韩寒能不能把剧本打磨好了再来秀你的赛车啊，烦死了
后来，人进入城市。城市没有风，城市是静止的陆地，海域在四周，风吹不进钢筋的森林。少年是英雄，孤勇是异类，就算英雄有冲破金字塔的勇气和能力，在最后的那一刻，风还是停了。
憋在家里打开四海，好像感觉不一样了，四海像是成人童话，带着我做了一场梦。
韩寒你不能拿两个书都没读完的傻逼主角来糊弄我们，把我们当傻逼啊
看的中途明白了一个和电影本身无关的道理 所以给了一星
愿你以后住的酒店，都是含早的…
看了十分钟，韩寒拍电影依然属于那种，不是写病句的问题，而是连大字都没认识几个就想写作文级别的渣。
韩寒其实一直都在拍一部片子 都在讲他那独特的青春残酷物语与死亡美学
看完了，故事框架没问题，人设也没多大问题，人云亦云终归不是好事! 可以说是迄今为止韩寒最好的一部电影了，电影本身的评分合理应该在7-7.5分的! 韩寒的电影里始终充满了自由的味道，再配一点韩式的冷幽默，就相当棒! 整个电影有强烈的个人风格! 缺点也是有的，电影巧合的桥段可以有，但是这部电影里堆砌地过于多了，前几个可以理解，最后两个实在过饱了!
故事本身有着很好的底子，因为韩寒终于在自己的第四部电影中成功塑造了人物，但可惜他还是放不下自己在小说中培养的“小聪明”，导致电影前半部分不伦不类，是前三部电影缺点的集合体。在后半部分主角塑造完成开始成为故事主导后，韩寒又画蛇添足成为了操纵木偶的上帝，导致一头一尾都是一片稀烂，唯一有价值的片段只在两位主角短暂的公路骑行与进入大城市的初期。韩寒本可以创造出一对华语届许多年都未曾有过的有灵气的主角和一个动人的故事，可惜一切都败给这个强行收尾的悲剧结局。
不差。开头拍的非常一般，甚至有点尬，尤其是心动和恋爱的片段，没有把刘浩存的潜力全发挥出来。最大的问题应该是过于杂糅了，你很难在这部商业片里找到一个一以贯之的类型方向，全片几乎都是以一种碎片式的风格在进行着。全是段子和轻鸡汤，这么多年了，韩寒还是只能拍小品电影。另外，指向性台词写得太尬了。要深刻不深刻，要幽默不幽默。
比如像“含早”这样的烂梗，我是有心理准备的，可是在看到的时候，还是会觉得很惊人，明明是小蛮腰建成，甚至有微博抖音的年代，也太降智了……
岛、海、车、隧道、迷途青年，韩寒的执念吗？
看了半小時全都是老梗，沈騰的人設也太糟糕了，為什麼2022年了還要這麽做作的去表現反差感，劉昊然和劉浩存一點cp感也沒有，無聊的兩小時。。。
韩寒和四真的 你中有我我中有你 四意念参与编剧
