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.

离谱都已经可以拍到婚后生活的地步了又怎么能给低分
3.5，极简+小景别的大段独白+超大景别的“心理空间”，这种结合加强了戏剧舞台感以及人物内心感受，打算在形式上、风格上的建树反而被大段台词束缚，科恩有些想法却没出新意，比较像早期《奥赛罗》的风格，但光影、场景转换利用等技术上的处理以及台词是很精致的。
什么都在讲，但是什么都感觉说的不清不楚，总觉得少了点什么
情节真的每一步都是没想到的；你们意大利人玩起硬搞笑（尬）的来也是真的尬；但就是暖暖的！而且男主真好看哇，那个侧脸，跟甜茶一样绝美
对老父亲抱着被子睡觉还是有点心疼的，以至于对he有点耿耿于怀。
我既讨厌人类喜新厌旧的动物性，又依赖人类相互羁绊的社会性。
喜欢喜欢，疫情期间点不上外卖时候的千层。喜欢三个人在浴室那段。好可爱好可爱。同志电影按异性恋家庭模式来拍吧，感觉看腻之前我还能乐好久。
这个故事告诉我们：同性夫夫也会中年危机为了出轨闹离婚鸡飞狗跳以及同性恋的儿子也可能是异性恋。and，蒂莉，真有你的（
是呀，LOVE IS LOVE 纵然爱多种多样，却也千丝万缕般牢牢维系着脆弱的我们。
开始看觉得是个有趣的故事…但后半部分电影回避了很多关键问题
啊啊啊啊啊啊啊为什么我就是喜欢这么抓马然后每个人都长在我点子上啊啊啊啊啊男主可不可以多拍点电影啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊我真的爱死你了！！！！！！弟弟也是！！！！！！男主小哥们也是！！！！！！！！
3.5 题材不错，切入点也挺好双线并行，青春爱情的部分稍弱，但是整体还是有种抓马的感觉，最后的结局还算不落俗套，意大利语吵架加上丰富的肢体语言挺有喜感的。
确实看着保罗一个人的时候挺难受的，出轨了 还偷腥两年 两年前 儿子也大了吧 别告诉我怕伤害儿子 一边维持婚姻 一边偷腥 这理由我是不能接受的 保罗不合适的理由也没给出来 就说是双方的错 我错nm 二十年 可怕
C Well……我想看的：前五分钟，我看到的：鸡飞狗跳。 通讯录电影在跳出悲剧框架的时候，能不能先多拍点轻松的爱情喜剧！ “每一个不同的时刻，我们都在一起见证。”，无关血缘，生活中的千丝万缕组成了爱。 (第三幕还是挺好的T T两星纯粹感情分
热泪盈眶 剧情发展的每一步都是我没想到的 又是一次极好的观影体验 愈发觉得 血缘只是锦上添花的点缀 爱，才是一个人、一个家庭的骨骼和血肉 聚焦点非常好 在同性婚姻合法化下成长起来的第一代青年 用自己的眼睛记录着他们父父爱情… 以及别人眼中的他 或许未来也会有两个母亲的家庭电影（哦，阿莫多瓦全都是） 本来觉得高光时刻已经很密集了 结尾爱的千丝万缕的连接 以及彩蛋（那部纪录片的片尾） 再次将影片升华 在我心中，它一定是有历史地位的
最后一幕真的好有爱啊~原来代孕老妈演过猎魔人的Queen Calanthe 我说怎么这么眼熟~ 小男主和喜欢他的那位都很可哦 LOL 就是腹肌没什么铺垫啊 都没见做什么运动……腹肌成了标配吗 哈哈。 另外其实满赞同一个评论 这个故事换成男女夫妻也不会有什么违和感…同志夫夫只是让小男主和另一个男生的互动有了看点吧 时间多的可以看一下 :)
看过最好看的男同片，温情故事，一家人整整齐齐就是幸福。
意大利人真的好喜欢做韩国人最讨厌的手势哈哈哈 真喜剧片了
为什么总是顾家的那一方遭到背叛，两个人互相伤害的戏份太抓马了，哈哈哈哈…测来测去都不是生父，重要的还是养育之恩，最后的结尾很出彩呀，连接我们的是爱的千丝万缕
喜欢看男同的中年危机，病院老头是我看本片的唯一心情
