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.

一星也想给。为什么没有负星？为什么这片还能拍第三部？我不理解 不 我不理解的应该是三部都看了的我自己 男主纹身肉眼可见的变多了 但是在扯什么乱七八糟的啊 上梁不正下梁歪么？乱搞这东西还遗传？ 以及看最后我怎么觉得还有四…要真的有四…编剧你真的应该回炉重造
三部看下来我只想说能感受到互相爱对方的那种疯狂 这种只有soulmate才有吧
有剧透#不太行 我感觉这电影真的很敷衍 好好的寻宝之旅 男女主一路被追杀蛋妞扔了那么多钱进去到最后你告诉我并没有那个皇冠？我本以为他俩进那个石棺之后会有反转结果啥都没有。还有 那么漂亮的岛 都不搞个好摄影 浪费了那么多水那么多树那么多山。笑点还算是过得去 主要是钱公子这个角色设定真的跟智障没差 但就这样把人家富家公子的手下全干掉是不是有点太不可思议不合常理？可以把旅程适当拉长一点丰满一点应该会更好。唯一不敷衍的大概就是桑德拉布洛克年纪也算大了但一点偶像包袱都没有很舍得放下身段 还有钱公子的露肉（虽然对主演完全不感冒）喜欢这个黑人大姐 让我们知道社畜也是不放弃生活的！
女主爸爸出现，解释了女主为啥会虎背熊腰……
通过电影增加了对印尼的了解。贫富等级对立的矛盾，用偷拍和上传网络、掩盖真相这些事件来承载，力度显然不够。为艺术作恶的富二代，像过家家一样，不是个合格的反派。
非常关照现实的作品。不光女人，男人也同样可能是受害者。
剧情的漏洞就不说了，很难想象电影院里的观众是怎样把这么一部爱情电影看成喜剧的（虽说有些地方确实很狗血）
女主老板是男主亲生父亲？？还要在男主妈妈结婚前一晚do？？是我不配理解编剧的脑回路了
终于还是对它下手了。比第二部清水也更有深度，小两口终于讨论深层次的东西了，有在考虑未来了。才发现男主的英伦腔好性感啊，女主跳舞那段太勾人了。感觉Tessa渐渐从小白变成御姐，Herdin从狼狗变成奶狗，完全在她的掌控之中啊。几处bgm好带感。又在不争气地期待第四部了，干脆拍成电视剧算了。
印尼拍出来的极具特色的metoo电影，对社会上贫富差距、宗教压抑和父权制度的批判。故事里面不少逻辑的欠缺很难忽视，让这个结局无法显得那么有力。
第三部的狗血竟然让人意外了，给第四部开的头也太抓人了吧，搓手手期待第四部
没怎么看过印尼的片子，故事还行，也有一些现实意义，也还不错。
现在拍电影都这么闹着玩儿么，当代娱乐片已经失去娱乐大众的能力了。
无聊狗血到炸，这男主这性格太无语了，没有颜值完全看不下去
虽然剧情很傻逼 但是Hardin哭起来像个小狗狗呜呜呜 谁能不喜欢
这是什么狗血的结局啊？？？？
及格分的爱情冒险喜剧爆米花电影，爱情线和喜剧元素值三星，冒险部分顶多两星，看在卡司面子上总分能给到及格这样。很有流媒体时代风格的片子（结果人家是院线上映的就离谱）。电影从始至终就是“你看的开心就好”的一个定位，根本就没有认真做冒险的剧情，比神秘海域还要差出了十个丛林奇航的程度。表演方面，皮特和蛋妞的片段虽然不长，但其实都还比较让人满意。一些小配角的选角也满开心（Bowen戏份再多点就好了）。心疼钱老板这么多年了还是得靠脱，而桑婆满脸写着“老娘就是来度假的”，虽然并没有直接摆烂，可是还是感觉表现对不上咖位。反正就是作为爆米花电影来说观感尚可，却留不下太深刻的印象，大家看完电影去喝酒的时候都绝对不会再聊起来的那种程度吧。没达到期待，但或许是我期待值本身就摆的不对，就想看个正经的冒险片可是太难了。
这个电影其实可以特别低成本的，剧情啊拍摄制作什么的根本都不需要，就，滚动放几张Channing Tatum的写真照，我等目标观众就可以一直看的
只是惊讶于一个穆斯林国家能拍出这样展现人性之复杂多面的电影……
这部可以 没有那么多闹心的误会 hardin成熟了一点
