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.

首先先恭喜工藤先生和新一女士 在25年后终于开始交往了！（而我研究生都快毕业了） 然后就是 忘记去看被血染红的清水寺舞台了5555 明年我一定补上！
推理和天狗出没紧张气氛都有了 好久没被这样吓过
神奇女侠一发力，背景音乐就变成了远古吟唱，反反复复几十遍，耳朵都听吐了
有些bug就不管了，毕竟有服部！有首次动画化的仓木麻衣！还有麻衣的op ed！ @2021-09-05 17:54:26
这豆瓣分刷的也太高了吧…虽然世纪一吻很感人但推理剧情什么的都有够扯啊…
北京街边报刊亭随便买到的一本柯南漫画，居然就是红之校外旅行，也是很有缘了。清水寺真的很美很想去啊！
这部片不是青山刚昌的漫画京都篇，也不是TV动画京都篇，而是台湾人为了圈柯迷钱在2020疫情之年没有剧场版的情况下硬搞出来让观众在疫情之下聚集接触的作品，一定要跟原著区分清楚。
宿命般的遇见。TV版居然切割成了几篇...
之前看过一个脑洞:工藤新一早在第一集被下药后就死了，小兰无法接受事实，于是精神错乱，假装新一还活着，还妄想出一个柯南来替代新一，这也是为什么柯南和新一童年那么像，因为在小兰的假想中这就是一个人。毛利大叔看不得女儿这么痛苦，于是配合她一切的表演，其实每次破案都是大叔自己破的。
TV版动画6-10集的合辑篇，主要是讲炭治郎偶遇终极大反派，而后遇到鬼医生和她的迷弟，被请回家，双方针对如何变回人进行了探讨，并达成合作，再遇到两个被大反派安排来的鬼袭击，最后在几人通力合作下，解决了两个鬼，基本上没有在TV版上加什么内容，看过原本的话，可以不再看这个特别版，整部片子的亮点就是这次打斗从各个角度展示了一下水之呼吸基本都有什么招数，该燃的地方也十分燃，而且是一次性看完全部，感觉上会比较连贯会更爽，属于重温性质的片子吧。
kswlkswl不相信新兰是真夫妻的人请离开地球
（为什么忘记了mark）在彻底放弃柯哀这对cp后，对青山老贼的青梅竹马情怀宽容了很多。
临时决定在12月12日观看《鬼灭之刃无限列车篇》TV版，而后才发现，去年的剧场版《无限列车篇》刚好就是在12月12日观影，真是太巧了！去年12.12还顺便重温《那田蜘蛛山篇》，今年则看下《浅草篇》和《鼓屋敷篇》。
补标，虽然自己不是新兰，但是还是好甜氛围画面都很喜欢
新一和兰在伦敦表白了；兰在清水寺亲了新一以示回应；跟兰有绯闻的男生果然都和新一长得一样（基德、冲田总司）说明兰的眼光始终如一啊；平次看到新一和兰在清水寺的表白行动也要开始有动作了。。这一集的感情线好满，谁还去管推理破案啊。（新一推理的时候突然用柯南的声音，旧习难改细节好评
这部好看很多！而且亲了耶、案子伏笔埋的也不错嘿嘿
有的。
这么虐的两人爱情终于是修成正果了，但是刀还继续。不过这个看得很快乐。破案算啥。
仅就剧情本身而言，绝对不值9分，大家想必都是为了情怀，毕竟追了这么多年的小兰新一官宣了，还有了定情之吻，多加一颗星给片尾曲，据说是仓木麻衣。。。
