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.

哎她妈的我永远喜欢新兰酱 就可爱....怎么会这么可爱啊……看工藤新一心乱如麻真是太有趣了……
哎，都九百多集了，才亲到脸颊？好歹是新兰确定恋爱关系的大事件，撒花五颗星。
案件真的很一般，看到中间就猜到凶手是那个自导自演的家伙了
咬上降谷先生的衬衫下摆以后，尤其是顺便抠住赤井先生的皮带扣以后，总感叹成年人的恋爱就是好，比那些连表白都不会的小年轻强多了（服部平次，yes offense），但修学旅行看多少次还是会心动。虽然到最后都没有亲到嘴嘴，虽然中间还穿了恼人的大冈红叶，可是我们现在算是在交往了吧，可是这还用问，当然是啦。上月读书节为凑单而入了单行本，里面还夹了世纪之吻特写原画，美到我借下辈子的乐感高歌一曲《渡月桥》。（而且还额外赚到了“百密一疏啊，赤井秀一”，我抓床单踹抱枕打滚打到摩擦自燃升天爆炸）（喂
案子还可以，CP真好嗑，这集所呈现的新兰可是纯纯的可爱高中生谈恋爱，不可多得。
20年了，终于亲上了，新兰赛高！
小情侣的旅行yyds，谁知道我看到这几集激动了多久，新兰yyds
十年来影视作品中动作戏第一，没有之一。
能被触动到真的已经是十年前的事，连怀旧的情绪也掀不起
开头亚马逊女战士非常悲壮，哭了。片尾，父亲的留言也哭了。这部超长的电影不完美，但是渣导的诚意和态度足够了，完全值得满分评价。片尾的几个彩蛋走向非常颠覆暗黑，说明渣导还是想继续拍。话说DC啥时候拍弗兰克米勒的《蝙蝠侠：黑暗骑士归来》真人版
球球了 改成青春浪漫爱情推理故事好吗！为什么不能一边谈恋爱一边破案啊！！！
(不必说 近几年柯南剧场版天花板！)
仅就剧情本身而言，绝对不值9分，大家想必都是为了情怀，毕竟追了这么多年的小兰新一官宣了，还有了定情之吻，多加一颗星给片尾曲，据说是仓木麻衣。。。
嗑就完事了，确认关系的时候还不是百感交集，毕竟是自己的青春呐
鬼医生的设定有点像暮光里的吸血鬼医生，我果然是很吃这类设定😅
此片在我看来的缺陷，可能就在略显老套的剧情安排，及反派boss的外形设计。
新兰！泪目，这么多年从我小学到大学快毕业了，就冲亲那一下，就得给满分。
文戏在漫改电影中超越《守望者》
难道就是因为亲了那么一下就评分那么高，我还一直在等着舌吻呢。太无聊了这片儿，就是要把粉丝妥妥的等到老了。
🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩新兰党的天下！！我的低血糖都给治好了
