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.

前面真的很甜 女主性格未免太傲娇了 女主第一次哭太假了 后面还好 岛的哭戏好有感染力 分手电话和岛一起哭 在车里偷看和女主一起哭 细节都很真实 就是过场的樱花树特效有点突兀 看到岛一脸羞涩地说情话 怪不习惯的
后半小时眼泪没停过，尤其是最后中岛发现没认出米娜桑那里，太绝望了
30了中年大叔居然还心里默默期盼小手紧握真的能有奇迹……可惜还是没能一起
纯爱电影。。。。剧情的设定，可能看了太多所以可以预想到结局。女主的心境，很像满岛光演的一部叫“投靠女与出走男”，满岛光因为自知身患绝症容颜将急速枯槁，只愿自己喜欢的人记住自己的盛世容颜。一星给摄影，画面美气氛佳的，一星给配乐，配合画面的音乐真的太棒了。另外一星给樱井由纪。
现在日本的纯爱这么烂了呢，生理不适，剧情拉胯，颜值演技不在线，Netflix你醒醒啊
呃ty的演技还行吧，希望能接个好本子啊啊啊啊啊啊啊
肉眼凡胎要怎样跟命运的突然发威相抵抗，更加理解了“死得一蹴而就甚至是人一生所求”是什么意思。以及骗患者和家属钱的人真罪该万死。
加一星给岛，一星给兄妹情。难得配戏的女演员演技更差，称的岛都自然了。粽的演技基本都around average，但今年狂上剧，不知道是不是商量好的發展方向，不如上团番吧球球了。
剧情虽然老套，但是演员演的很好，动人的地方也会忍不住想掉眼泪。有遗憾才是人生常态，失去的时候不是终点，人生还很长，不可能一直沉浸在悲伤与难过，向前看才是对逝去的最尊敬的态度。生活就是要寻找热爱，保持热爱，不然是熬不过这漫长的人生的。
前半段真的很美好很开心啊
是能猜到走向的很典型的日系爱情片……感觉中岛老师演技有进步一点👍🏼
「樱花般的恋爱」，花期虽短，也曾盛开。虽然剧情老套，男女主演技都很一般，好在女主得病后众人的感情表现得很真挚动人，悲伤但不绝望。取景框里曾经一起看过的风景，许多「瞬间」凝结而成的「永远」，也许足以成为两人之间最美好的回忆。
如果是还在上学的年纪看，也许还会多一分感动，现在三十多，更触动的点反而是哥哥嫂子对妹妹的爱，男主女主演员各一次的大哭呐喊高潮戏都没处理好。典型的日式纯爱，却无论哪个方面都次了一点
kenty演技还是不错的 哭戏稍微出戏了点

要那些警察何用，两人对峙一人，三番两次被逃脱或打翻，是为了衬托黄政民的勇猛吗？#20211117
BE美学！中岛老师演技很棒！后面很好哭😭！変わらないもの~
久违的让我想哭的爱情电影😭虽然剧情有些老套但是演技，镜头都不错🥺有被打动到（虽然这哥分含着我对中岛老师分挨饿，但是电影本身也不错啦！喜欢里面的空镜
哭到脑壳疼的一部片子，极度煽情，剧情平平，也有许多不符合常理的地方，但是作为一部主打煽情的纯爱剧，中规中矩。
和哥哥嫂子的那部分挺催泪的 爱情线没什么大感觉 还有就是 果然身患绝症的头等大事就是马上去找喜欢的人睡觉
