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.

1、电大提琴玩金属意想不到地别有一番风味！目测本电影播出后电大提琴销售飙升；2、男配角唱的Shade of You黄老板听了想揍人，我听了好想拉他去先修修音噗；3、奶飞这么突然做了一部金属+老鸡汤套路+美国青少年的片子，1.25倍速走起不过份；4、男主角的乐队参加比赛时原乐队名称“Skullfucker”被迫改成“Skullflower”233；5、听金属乐，从娃娃抓起（我瞎说的）。
朋友推荐给我的，说我肯定喜欢。一看封面我还以为是之前看的欧洲人拍的重金属在囧途，后来发现不是。看完就....感觉挺套路的吧，也挺平的。感觉就是标准的歌舞青春式青春片套了一个金属的壳子，真喜欢金属的感觉很难找到共鸣吧，主要还是青春片。一样是音乐青春片，几年前的初恋这首情歌给我的感觉要好不少，至少没这么套路化。而且....额....就最后表演的歌来说应该不算post death doom吧....就标准重金属而已...额....总之就....一般
简单的故事 几个学生组个乐队 从不受欢迎到上新闻头条 其中还有内讧和好谈谈恋爱的戏码——真不知道这样的电影要怎么拍才能不好看！哇！太激动了！摇滚真是个很有魅力的东西！特别看到Hunter最后乐队争霸里那段电吉他solo 真让我鸡皮疙瘩起之余我也跟着飞起来！当然Kevin的鼓也是帅 婚礼那一段还有自己在音乐室练习开始穿黑衣服的一段也是极其的燃！Emily其实挺美的 皮肤又白眼睛又大 动不动就发火扔东西骂人我一开始就想这性格还不重金属吗哈哈哈哈 她把乐队名字改【Fucker】改为【Flower】这个创意超级棒拍手叫绝！还有另外那个乐队的主唱也超级甜人又好（Hunter说输给他们没所谓他们是好人那一刻我感觉到了其实美国学生也很友善的ww）总之这样质量的音乐青春片拍多少我都愿意看！
超出预期的关于金属乐的电影，还是青少年高中生玩儿金属乐的电影！几位大佬在片中露脸为本片增色不少，sound track更是够全面。三位演员呈现出的演奏效果那就更可以说是精彩了！想不到《小丑》里的小男主鼓打得那么棒！最后还是要无比羡慕一下，人家可以有高中生玩儿金属乐故事的电影，我们的电影里规定警察不能是坏人……。
一群玩死亡金属的人，干了很多朋克的事儿，被放在了一个青春校园题材的常规框架里。
真好看！女主真可爱哇哇，男主飚尤利西斯昨日重现我高二高三的前桌！

如此小清新的重金属乐队？hhhh用大提琴玩摇滚真得帅爆了
挺多共鸣的地方，也想起了好朋友。但更多是突兀和套路剧情。 考虑到老少咸宜，行吧。
这不太像是金属的反抗精神，倒像是青春期的叛逆。不过最后的比赛曲确实挺炸，提琴竟然拉出了一种类似马头琴的杀气。
"I'm the founding member of Skullfucker and I say no Yokos!"
男孩子上学时候还是得靠体育和音乐来好泡妞 得有一技之长
天然喜欢这种题材 Rock青春
7。其实还挺有意思的，中间段谈恋爱这块感觉剧情有点篇幅过长。3个主演表现力还行，少点青春片剧情内容就更好了。去婚礼抢自己鼓手那段实在过于搞笑
从skullfucker到skullflower, 是metal让他们温柔了，找到自己的同伴真是幸福，每一份愤世嫉俗都宣泄着不被理解的寂寞。
哈哈哈哈哈神经病重金属儿童的校园生活……开车逃跑时hunter说that's metal的样子，简直让我怀疑他是Eric Martin的亲儿子，长太像，台上solo时，眼里满是星辰大海……
重振内心建设，🫡致敬金属老炮，致敬心存信仰的少年！
历史事件改编的电影，运镜真的很重要，这部看着就觉得像电影
这个片的nb之处在于，它展示了南非种族隔离的极端自我防卫机制，哪怕你是身居高位的白人，威胁了这个体制也得死。
