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.

三星半，双女主在开始的隐忍克制与爱，有点像特定的情景式爱情，该上头的时候确实上头。但是，剧情确实俗套，看开头就知道结局必BE，咱女铜电影能整点he嘛？
玛丽卡这个人好奇怪好矛盾，转折好突然，又加上是开放式结局，就变得很迷糊。。好在两位女主强烈的chemistry撑起了整部电影，贡献了不少女本子的心动名场面
因为爱意总是无法藏住。

这电影把女本子拍的太真了，里面被问的几个问题实在太真😥救了救了
（卫生间打扫的再干净我也🙅♀️）
不婚不育 永葆青春…Marika最后得到想要的答案又有什么意义呢 即使是心里想要的 也已经回不去了 不要妥协啦！
身临其境，久不释怀，迷乱地感受着每一份渴望，迫切得想代替她们的一呼一吸，青涩地暧昧，虔诚地热烈，我被带入得太深太深。一车一娃和我俩，这是我梦里的场景啊！私奔吧，石智媛，和我，就放纵这一次，往后永远都是热烈。
Jaime全程被拿捏的死死的啊，Marike有男盆友还一直撩人家，自己不是单身还嫉妒人家有过女盆友，真推拉王者
宗教只是一个背景 你可以选择信 也可以选择不信 不用全然的责怪 Marike的选择很现实但却对自己和别人造成了伤害 所以结局俩人泪眼婆娑倾诉相思的时候 我竟有些愤愤觉得这是Marike咎由自取 演Jaime的这个女生演技好好啊 哭的嘴唇下巴都在抖 俩人之间火花四溅 吻戏高潮迭起简直了
总感觉是另一个轮回要开始了…
每天就是翻公众号看别人写的技战术文章，每一篇都像打开了新世界。
从没看过主角能这样一帆风顺的体育片，咱们的这些商业片能不能想清楚想表达什么再开始改编，能不能改掉动不动就在电影里插播mv的坏毛病。而且最重要的一场花游展示戏也拍得太灾难了吧，真的毫无美感啊
硬要说的话就是可以把暗处的储藏室看成柜子，最后激昂的出柜戏跟性向无关，但至少稍许挑战了传统性别秩序（尽管默许了男性要阳刚的性别观）。除了蛐蛐跟辛云来，其他演员包括群演都比较糟，还有我不能接受明明不适合还硬要逼自己/逼别人努力拼搏的观念，不适合就另谋高就另请高明才对。

结局挽尊，二星升三星了！你最好是给我逃了蛤！

这次的女本子伤痛青春悲剧的锅宗教不想背呢，我宣布女主是继赞姐后我的第二个梦中情t！Jaime是我今年冬天的穿搭模范了。
指尖触碰 深深浅浅的吻 拉过你的手 背后的抱 把下巴搁在你的肩膀 心甘情愿地承认自己有罪 这些都好戳我
Jaime恰到好处但是整体还是烂 人物塑造烂剧情也烂 看完以为女同片才发展到一起来看流星雨的程度
