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.

3.5
里面的河童真滴好丑，妹妹很可爱。收留结和日和的奶奶很温暖
日本影视，拥有的浪漫，扭曲的性格，直白的人心
结尾余韵十足哎！看得我都有点悸动了。虽然全片都夹杂了离谱的三角恋剧情，但是结尾美好到让我直接忘记了男主角的存在。不过前面节奏真的好慢，看得我好着急。因为喜欢结局，决定给四颗星！
那些未知的奇妙物，只要内心善良都不可怕。灾后重建，不仅是重建生活，还有心理。每个被留下来的人，面对的是满目疮痍的心灵。
好温柔好温柔，虽然完全猜得到故事走向，而且故事提上去都没有很好收住
最后跑去人家教室说出那么羞羞的话
还是一部非常好的日漫。我们要大胆的说出：“我什么坏事都没做，为什么是我？”，肯定坦诚的面对自己的情绪，才能摆脱迷途。几近结尾突然的奇妙物大团聚，瞬间魂穿夏目，是一部需要费心观赏的“美食番”，话说河童被刻画的太可爱了吧！
温馨治愈之作，而且结合了我最喜欢的怪谈题材，画风也很美，推荐。剧情中后期进展非常快，可以说是一直处于“哇哦”状态，结局略潦草。群像塑造比较平平，但是三个人和奇妙物的互动很可爱。
勉强4星，剧情拖沓，床戏很硬核看得捂脸
莫名其妙的分与合，奇怪的青春期……女主和女二都不太正常，男生竟然是最正常的……（开始胡言乱语 srds 强势肉食系女主 & 病弱自卑女二真的很搭
看之前没想到能看下去 挺正常的一帅小伙儿 挺不正常的俩小姑娘 然而正常的小伙儿却又有比两个姑娘还不正常的出身 高中生的追求与幻想 青春期的恋爱 异样的酸 却也很甜
为什么要去伤害女二这样一个可怜人呢。病娇女主演得挺好，可是这种疯批性格真是爱不起来。
自恋扭曲残缺性格的女主，温柔体贴的女二，蛮带感！
喜欢站着蹬单车的每一个人
在三星和四星之间纠结，画面很棒很治愈，但是情节和配乐不太行，最后还是给了四星，这是为纪念东日本地震10周年的电影，而恰好在昨天晚上他们又发生了地震，祝愿善良的人们能够平安，你们没有错，勇敢的面对，世界总是会变好的，迷途之家永远在等您。
我想过要是有部电影主题是“老奶奶拯救世界”一定很好看，但这部………哎，是个自说自话无所不能蜜汁微笑的老奶奶…以及睡了一觉醒来不知道你睡着时有个老奶奶为你拯救了世界…以及人类那么糟糕充满负能量又一无是处为毛大家要救人类啊………别管剧情了，还是看景吧，景真的超好看！！夏日山海边真是非常非常棒啊！！！
女主好坏啊！为了抢男人去睡病娇女主！病娇女主也好渣！有男朋友了还跟女主睡！男主好丑！！而且看不出来有什么优点值得两个人去喜欢的，尤其是女主还是保送的优等生…虽然男主考上东京的大学，但是东京没有专科吗🧐
原以为只是一部日系治愈动漫电影，没想到还掺加了神话色彩，奶奶一定是个可以控制式神的人吧！
蛮无聊的奇幻治愈电影，有些地方迷之卡顿，后半段打邪祟戏码全程走神，更想看日常治愈向。两间迷途之家的装修都很好看。
