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.

我可能真的有老年痴呆，全程：我真的打过这段剧情吗…… 感觉感染力表现力反而不如游戏，我只能记得当初看学妹剧情哭得稀里哗啦哭着点了310……bgm不在线可能也有一定影响
前1/3老玩家落泪，后2/3就这、就这、就这？比原作肯定不如，但是没玩过游戏的话三星不能再多。综合片尾芙芙（凯西帕格鲁）专场加一星，四星不能再多了。借用B站评论区老哥说的，开播前我们以为的CV阵容和宝具画面是璀璨无比的，当实际呈现的是大幅缩水与过家家一样的拯救行为
享受第一次夏日海边的青春狂欢。
没字幕只能看B站版本了......这次终于能认全从者了😂2022.02.07
和父母沟通，父母之间多沟通，把你想要他做的说出来，把你的需求说出来/结尾不知道想要表达一些什么/没有什么事放不下
有人明知终结不可避免，还是不断重复着相识和离别，
氛围塑造有点不行 想感动的地方感动不起来 战斗戏作为剧场版好像没有之前第七特异点tv那么突出
这部剧场版的优点在于真的把画面做出来了，缺点在于分镜和演出差强人意，尤其是医生放宝具的时候，过于关注台词而没有做好演出，显得自己的牺牲毫无意义，这就是经典的“动画没做明白”。
自己的状态没能好好地投入地看这个电影，但是觉得bgm很好诶！听摇滚在海边跳舞🤘🏻
看不出是今年新出的作品，但有被戳到，无论是摄影画面风景还是男女主间的互动，Netflix少有的慢节奏青春片！
其实我觉得可以有7分…平淡但是清新且温馨，片入其名
这能有7分就离谱，我不如回去再看一遍泛式手书
就，很，平。三星全部给魔神柱的3D细节好了。
挺无聊的，没什么吸引点，有点尴尬，可能这种剧看多了
還不錯 @2022-05-12 00:38:31 @2022-06-03 23:34:05
生命皆有终结，等待他们的不过是痛苦。
故事讲得没有游戏清楚，但是中间所有英灵出来我还是哭的汪汪叫了
这，名为爱与希望的故事
2.5 羡慕这样的派对与舞会 看看海滩听听歌还是不错的
普普通通，该燃的没燃到位，该有BGM的地方鸦雀无声。FGO第一章波澜壮阔的旅程终点，不值得如此草草收场。
