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.

邦主也太茶了吧 别人要求他不行 他要求别人一个来一个来的… 三星打给谢霆锋
虽然很套路，但是对比最近上映的电影，这是能看的，而且看的还挺开心。
5.5，低幼向就别反英雄了，素鸡那套family早就不吃香了。
好酷好可爱，好喜欢这种公路片风格的结尾。如果有续集的话，大坏狼能和狐狸小姐谈个恋爱吗？
所谓亮点是当坏人被关注和赞赏时，他们摇起了尾巴，好像之前从未被这样温柔以待过。
在这个特殊时期，啥电影都看不到，这也算还行。
有种低配版《疯狂动物城》的感觉。一个坏人变好的故事。娱乐倒是很娱乐的，正能量也是正能量的，剧情的低幼化也在意料之中。如果大灰狼是乔治·克鲁尼配音就完美了。PS：没有想到的是已经在大荧幕上播放过了，天呀我是多久没有去电影院了。 / 2022.6.23 家
超超超好看！ 是我一天看了三场电影里觉得最好看的。 画风巨细腻！ 剧情节奏紧凑且不经意就会放出反转！
😅看不下去，为啥不把所有角色做成动物，一会人类，一会动物，着实会出戏……
7分，应该是五一档最轻松最喜剧的电影了。虽然是坏蛋联盟，但同样也是五个同甘共苦的好朋友，绝不能落下一个人。
不由得就是会想起《疯狂动物城》，但也绝对算得上别出心裁。影片的节奏感很强，剧情跌宕起伏，动物形象丰富又生动。一群恶名昭彰的盗贼能否从良是剧情发展的内核，随之而来的偷盗手法、动作戏份、动画风格都是加分项！
这个概念在无敌破坏王和小黄人系列都演过了——但居然还是可以一看，另外现在的救猫情节真的都是在救猫是不是有点太偷懒了（）（）（）
看个乐吧，没深度没惊喜，后面反转又反转到不合理
可爱还是可爱的，故事是真的套路，上来就搞低俗小说，后边给我看这个实在受不了，毕竟引进buff……大尾巴狼都开始摇尾巴卖萌了，实在黑不起来
动画效果可以, 但是内核超级无聊~~ 失望
说句题外的：奥卡菲娜真是吃尽的zzzq的红利
悬念反转层出不穷，看完感觉好喜欢这类型的电影，几个气质非凡的大坏蛋耍酷，不知道迷倒了多少人。
酣畅淋漓的怒火。这一段被搅乱的人生，这不公的愤怒，要如何宣泄。谢霆锋的狠戾与不退，太有张力
两星半。乏善可陈之作，情节、人物、世界观都是二十年前的东西，这到底有什么做出来的必要？装可爱都装不起来了，哎。p.s.看之前完全不知道演员表，但奥卡菲娜一张嘴我就知道是她，莫名就有点出戏，太有声音特质而无角色诠释大概就是这样吧。
没什么记忆点，给小孩子看的动画里坏人好人还是简单二元对立，小反转基本出现很久之前就猜到了。如果你想轻松不费任何脑子地打发90分钟就看吧
