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.

很抱歉咩酱，我又一次白嫖了电影并给了较低的评价。我觉得这部电影的价值观念有问题，十元女士演妈妈也有不少缺陷，我感觉电影的内核非常苍白，看得我毫无波澜，自然也没有一些观众所说的感动到流泪，某种程度上真的比地狱的花园那种无厘头的武打片还差。就算有婚纱咩酱也拯救不了，我勉勉强强给三星。还是那句话，如果不是咩酱参演，很可能都不会看。
相比于第一部的几个故事，这次变成了一个故事，几条线也算是各有特色，但相比于第一部差了一点，推主线的时候有点没交代清楚。

最开始我以为小女孩的继母和高中女生的继父会走在一起，所以独立描写两边的情况，直到一个蒙太奇切换让我意识到其实是两条线叙事。整部电影真的是散发着美好，虽然在现实生活中确实不太可能出现这样的事情，但是我们对善良和爱还是充满着美丽的幻想，每个孩子都是上天赐予人间的礼物。
长泽雅美的颜怎么一年就垮成这个亚子 我接受不了
最后一幕挺感人的。就是太长了真的太长了，相比原著完全可以再多删掉一些剧情，作为独立电影更紧凑些。
冲着咩看的，看完之后只想说剧情挺扯的。明明可以拍成一个温情的好故事，结果我只看到了一个为了梦想抛妻弃子跑去巴西的亲爹，人傻钱多的二号爹，有灵气却任性的未婚夫，还有大部分时间都花枝招展却突然得绝症的妈。
看一半几乎就能猜对的剧情，不过不得不说选角是真的很合适，仿佛是为演员量身定制的角色，十元的角色，那人设，换个人可能说服不了我。
一位女性为了满足自己当母亲的心愿给继女找了两人接盘侠的故事。
女性是什么物品吗？还要交接棒？？咩好可爱。石原演技太浮夸（可能并不是演技）。剧情看不太出来十几年的时间跨度，算失败了
如果人生真的如优子的经历一般那一定是一段跌宕起伏的经历，但是故事却拍得很平淡，故事的走向也基本都能猜到。不过有些情节的氛围渲染得很好，还是会让人投入，比如说毕业典礼。
通篇完成度不错 ，演员一水的面瘫，演技秉承了日系的做作和浮夸。得亏是外国片，要是国产片这剧情 在配合国产电影特有的大差不差，能有两星 拿绝对是请了枪手了。做工很精细，华丽却不浮夸。只是这刻意的展示 勤恳的装逼 实在让人有点接受不了啊。唉~光环太多 以致于坐不下了。
跟那么弱的推理剧情相比，还是大神和masami的CP更深得我心。木村真的是越老越帅
一个挺感人的童话故事，但是仔细想想实在是太奇怪了，只有好人的世界总是虚假的
真无法理解这样的女人。渣女总会遇到好男人，不然就没戏了。
整体风格和假面饭店类似，案件很糟糕，剧情很普通，很难说好，不过卡司还是很强。
那小女孩没长歪真的不容易啊……理论上剧里都是温暖的好人，十块钱的演技也太浮夸了，一上来能为了雌竞拉别人拉链的人，到底是怎么对没有血缘的女儿产生如此强烈的母爱的?而且拜金为什么第一婚找带拖油瓶的男性?二婚忽然嫁富豪,为什么那么跳跃啊？即使演这种角色十块钱还是舍不得花枝招展的造型。一个人浮于这部电影，怎么看怎么像穿越的……小女孩和少女时代演的是真的不错。
一个女孩3个爸，2个妈
3.7，为麻酱而来，麻酱的一颦一笑都牵动我心，越来越有女人味了，身材也很棒。即便眼角有岁月痕迹，但这种笑容才最真且最为动人。麻酱的不服与无奈的表情也太可爱了叭~配乐依旧古典，依旧华丽，依旧印象深刻，优于19年，不过分张扬，无声画面好评。男主跳舞穿插于开篇，此举有何意义？原来是为了呼应片尾假面舞会探戈。木村不愧是已婚老男人
第一次没有那么讨厌田中圭，看来十元对他的怒骂还是有点用的嘛..
