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.

People want different things. 喜欢这个设定，这个流动的关系，有人认真听你说话，有人欣赏你尊重你。
“我喜欢把事情规划的很好，就是为了避免惊喜。”
Fantasy？no. Liberation？YES！Even a first step！
对话写得蛮好，但是男主的角色设定不太合理，被忽视的原生家庭下真的能塑造出这样耐心且愿意聆听的性格吗……P. S这不就是提供性服务的心理咨询师吗……
姐姐真是可爱又勇敢，能有这样的电影才是自由的地方。
“你想看到一个broken whore吗？现在你看到了。 ”人类的本质是孤独，不管外在表现的多么优雅、克制，不管对方能给予多大的愉悦，内心最深处的裂痕终是需要自己去粉刷，然后和解。
还蛮喜欢结尾，Nancy是通过自己获得了第一次高潮而非Leo
看完感觉自己也是个confident independent strong woman
“你想看到一个broken whore吗？现在你看到了。 ”人类的本质是孤独，不管外在表现的多么优雅、克制，不管对方能给予多大的愉悦，内心最深处的裂痕终是需要自己去粉刷，然后和解。
近乎令人心碎的诚实，然而性的愉悦不正是建立在此之上吗？
好真诚的话剧电影，男女主的化学反应很妙，对白和互动让人数度落泪… 女性意识觉醒之后的自信和自爱真的会发光~ Leo这样的Public Service上哪儿领？
这官摄太棒了，方方面面都是。祈祷的一幕戏和倒数第二幕的突然压抑都是神来之笔。所有悲伤的经历都会带走你的一部分，更何况是911这样的事件，他带走了每个人的一部分且永远地改变了这个世界。
文广还我现场版！这个故事太好了，消防员的妈妈，女机长，中东男穆斯林...连毛孩子都被照顾到了。20 Anniversary of 9-11
三星半，完全没想到是一个这样的故事，看得很开心。一种工整的，计划好的，没有意外的故事。却处处有些小惊喜，小欢乐，很童话，很梦幻。表演过于用力，也可能是故意为之。
两个相互有秘密的人，通过年龄差的欲望，还有所谓正常社会秩序下的面具人类，放下了一切墨守成规，彼此放下戒备也相互治愈。性就像是空气，享受愉悦，而不是享受禁锢享受混乱。残酷的是现实生活里可没这么高质量的牛郎哦吼吼！
I’m so glad her first orgasm is with herself!
老中青三代精彩绝伦的歌唱演绎，在百老汇上演。
在鸭子面前通过ml进行精神痛苦的自我反省。leo太有魅力了
虽然情节都在意料中，但丝毫无损它的完美和独特。
我从来不觉得用身体赚钱是什么丢人的事情，但是如果我用身体赚钱又羞于启齿，男主还是挺可口的。。。
