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.

真是一个强制煽情的疫情剧。本以为是从快递的角度看出疫情中平凡与伟大，但是讲的一笔烂账😓唯一感觉还不错的是时空重叠，虽然用的很烂了，但是至少还是能用…..…
温情中带着笑与泪，薛导用独特的叙事手法展现了疫情之下普通人的坚守与付出。勇哥、武哥做志愿者忙前忙后，谢奶奶重新拿起手术刀，叶老师用琴音鼓励孩子们，晓晓和那对医生夫妻坚守前线...所有的人都在努力活着，想要尽早战胜疫情，可还是有人永远留在了那里。就像歌词里唱到每次相见碰面都是纪念，每句再见都像道别，很多人还没来得及好好说再见就真的再也见不到了，所以，下一次，如果可以拥抱，就别再用语言
这个词儿好尴尬，白瞎演员阵容和题材，还以为中国医生会是疫情题材最难以言喻的，现在多了一部，花钱看个热闹🉐
绝对的主旋律电影，通过4位（对）不同行业，不同年龄的人士，在武汉抗疫期间所做所为，进行了一个全方位的动态描写，顺便也歌颂了在这段疫情期间，武汉这个城市的坚强。
很细腻感人，人生有几回遇到大事，遇到时你没有退缩或者就算退缩过再努力前进都是好样的。
等解封的一天，你向我保证我们会在鹦鹉洲大桥上相见；
虽然感觉不能称为电影，虽然我感觉它在消费大家的情感，
觉得挺好的，平凡的英雄。不觉得贾玲跟居老师有违和感，武哥和叶老师角色最有意思，黄渤发挥稳定，老人那一对最感人，徐帆那一对最拉垮……《说好了不散》很感人……希望疫情早日过去！
许绍雄的台词功底太强了，我第一次觉得台词要比演技更能打动人。录视频的那个台词没读几句我就已经想哭了。
电影很感人特别是黄渤志愿者的故事，多次让我感动。贾玲的故事其实也可以，从事不关己到齐心参与。高龄产妇和暮年恋爱的故事穿插在电影里总觉得不合适。
倒也不至于一星，但比起套着抗疫外壳实质谈情说爱的剧情来说，几乎全员演技在线，最喜欢黄渤那条故事线，贾玲、朱一龙的适配度很高
两星半吧 有点刻意 但是父母去看会感动到稀里哗啦的作品
世界上除了我都会讲武汉话。稳中向好的片子。
但是，老李和兰兰以及他们一家的戏，是为什么呢？
一部很感人的电影，但有点用力过猛了，就像有人说的，让人感觉到了压迫感，不是疫情带来的，而是剧情烘的。
没看懂在表达什么 老人那条线还蛮温馨感人的 整体而言有点零碎
看完这部电影 想的并不是哪拍的不好 更多的是对逆行者们的敬佩和感恩
就是因为觉得这些美好太难存在了，甚至不会发生在我身边，所以感觉弥足珍贵，无比向往。
原来是关于武汉新冠疫情的电影，导演居然是《北京遇上西雅图》的薛晓路。其实可以拍得更好，但是主旋律和温馨过了头，自然就少了共鸣。电影的时间线，从2020年1月24日的大年三十武汉封城 一直到4月8号通车解封，电影的意义大于电影本身。黄渤饰演有英雄大义的快递员、贾玲饰演古道热肠的快递志愿者、朱一龙饰演患有癫痫的钢琴老师、高亚麟和徐帆饰演一对中年危机的夫妇、老戏骨谢咏琴和许绍雄饰演了一对浪漫的黄昏恋老人，沿用了近几年比较常用的串联式的小单元剧形式，每个人物有自己独立的单元剧情、其实无意间产生了交集，让人物群像彼此丰满了起来。转眼间 新冠疫情爆发已经两年时间，还是有很多像周冬雨饰演的小护士那样的医护人员奋战在一线，她们可能也和周冬雨饰演的小护士一样，伶俐可爱又乐观、偶尔也会嘴馋，希望她们可以平安归来。
那是新生与死别，山水有重逢，然而毕竟还是小术。离开王警督的第十二天。
