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.

为了后面的身份互换相互谅解，前面部分把女婿描述的也太差了，唉，动画效果还算可以
简单好看。范海辛的神秘射灯把怪物变人人变怪物，最后翁婿和解德古拉拯救黑化的Johnny。
为啥觉得西岛秀俊上了年纪更耐看了呢，故事就是扯，看的就是个热闹，我都不计较了，别太烂就行。
【2022.6.21 看完】作为剧粉，抱着期待来看电影版～虽然知道不可能有多么大的惊喜，不过剧情和电视剧一样有反转，好看就够了……会拍第三季电视剧吗？
陪朋友跟她弟弟一起看的。。顺手标记一下吧 就 挺烂的 没啥好聊的 欧美动画片越来越难看了 受不了过分夸张一惊一乍的手法
在这里我要控诉一下淘票票的买座不能有空座规定，我进影厅的时候四个人，一对情侣，我还有另一位男士，我走到座上时难以置信地反复确定票面：8排1。而另一位独自来看电影的男士就坐在8排2。
还是很欢乐啊 虽然我隐隐约约看到了黑暗童话的影子😂
在丛林中找到二人后，梅菲斯径直扑向强尼，呜呜可怜的爸爸，心疼德古拉
两个熊孩子投毒事件，破案剧吧，感觉还是韩国和香港拍的好一些。
不喜欢“家人之间沟通不畅”的底层逻辑。当然，这也是真实生活中也常出现的事。
就是很喜欢这部剧轻松诙谐的风格，这次的故事大概是借鉴了《东方快车谋杀案》，剧情安排还是有惊喜的。不过批评南云没看穿细节的确也在理，如果把他当时比如生活压力大或者遇到什么挫折作为背景可能会比较合理。日本电影还是适合走中二傻缺风，整个可爱~哈哈
没什么电影感。但是太喜剧太好笑了，真的几乎从头笑到尾，冷笑话果然好评！！！西岛叔又演寡夫了啊，帅死谁了！
[旺柴]
依然是岳父和女婿占主角的故事，几乎从头闹腾到结束的各种桥段，一个系列拍到第四集，多少就有些疲态了，基本上也该到此为止了吧……
好沉重的故事…但是挺喜欢的，喜欢这种复杂性。西岛叔含泪的眼神，香川叔肯定地说会帮助エリ，以及松本润天真又执拗地望向天空的时候……太多的瞬间我都很喜欢。这个戏的节奏不是所有人都能接受，但认识他起已经第7个年头，在不变也在成长，谢谢（确实不像电影倒是真的hh）
太尴尬了，没必要再拍下去了！Mavis应该是少有的不让直男讨厌的动画女性角色吧~
假High/谐音梗大放送时场面一度安静好尴尬/杉咲花很可爱/奈奈出场时tension一下高了起来但救不回老梗烂谜底/（木村文乃不太讨喜🤔
没看过前面几部。但是不妨碍观看，进入丛林后，那段剧情真的太搞笑了
不敢相信居然拍到了第四部，也不敢相信我居然一部不拉地看完了
全场最佳：刚由僵尸恢复人身的那位被一旁的僵尸咬下再次化为僵尸。
