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.

240th 骄傲月很轻松的gay妞电影，男酮版傲慢与偏见，更难得的是以亚裔为主角。
还是很遗憾之前那个女版没有再拍下去 而是直接续牌了原版故事 情怀还是有的 棉花糖小鬼依旧可爱 可是故事为了照顾没看过原版的也设置得过分简单了 最后又回到了那个消防站仓库 希望这次不要再半路夭折了
新版傲慢与偏见，倒也还过得去，只是依旧太童话
无爱又无性，那你想让观众看什么？为赋新词强说愁？
康哥是新的同志版Mr.Darcy吗🤤每次被抓包吃冰淇淋好可爱啊…尬舞那段笑得我岔气。谁能看得出他43了！但是快点回宽街唱歌演戏好嘛？我想听你唱歌啊！
没看过前作，这种科学怪人的主题本来不该是我感兴趣的，但是看起来蛮有趣的。一双儿女太可爱了，还很漂亮，唔，看两个小人出来就开心。
作为傲慢与偏见的txl版很成功，作为喜剧片来说很失败
分数：45
比《沙滩鼠》更hilarious. 意料中的bitchy,但是并不会令人反感. 整体视听还不错.
这官中字幕也太烂了，，，宁愿没有都更好理解一点，，ps杨伯文总是配角配得太出彩，把主角的光芒夺得一点不剩
还以为电影不会让我很共鸣，这种生活离我很远，但这种排斥刻板印象却又下意识靠近的矛盾心理却让我有了共鸣。很喜欢这种自由的氛围，也很喜欢两个亚裔帅哥的结局安排，电影真的很善良，我也一直在等一个我喜欢的人说我很有趣很棒，抱着我吻我
拍的实在太难看了，明明有情怀、有彩蛋、有老演员回归、小演员们也演技在线，所有能炒出一道美味佳肴的材料都准备好了，可最后却炒出了一坨雪特。
我觉得还不错，首先电影很戏剧化 色调看的很舒服 特效也是很可以，其次就是小演员们演的太好了 莫名联想到了怪奇物语 小丑回魂的场景，另外里面棉花糖鬼可真是个惊喜
总体来说，是一部有点四不像的电影，跟之前的《小丑回魂》相比有些逊色。

真的好喜欢这部片子，今天有又快进看了两遍，男主越看越可了。2022.06.16
eyecatching and actually *funny*
这还不幼稚？这还不假？不老套？故事硬中之硬，为了拍一个电影而拍，不管是否为了致敬，这电影就算放到三十年前，依旧是一部把观众当5岁小孩的烂片。
连着幕后原版Spangler演员去世的故事看还挺感人的……但整个高潮来得都太晚了。全片最大笑点：别人都在深情演感情时在一旁跟野人一样的paul rudd哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈
为了SNL第一个亚裔卡司，为了含钙量高的喜剧笑果都不会差，为了主演编剧是一个单口喜剧演员，他在扣熊的访谈节目里直接称呼这部影片为gay版傲慢与偏见，瞬间让我觉得豁然开朗了
