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.

太灾难了…看完甚至想找07版电影来治愈…虽然是现代化改编，却还是沿用着古代背景显得格格不入，女主自白的手法乍一看新颖，但实际用起来又格外别扭。原著最romantic的看情书到电影里就变成anne忽做感动状深情诵读，尬得让人脚趾抠地，还没有07版无声日剧跑来得有感觉。不同于原著端庄隐忍，内心又无比从容强大的anne，电影里那个耍酒疯，在社交场合毫不讳言的女人真是让人大跌眼镜……总之还是求求现代人别折腾Jane Austin的小说了，翻来覆去的现代改编都是那些浅薄的道理，完全沾不到半点原著的深刻内蕴。
改编的风格还挺…有趣？反正让我想笑的部分很多hhh和原作给我的感受完全不同就是了x是一个看你银幕里的秘密朋友如何和前男友弯弯绕绕破镜重圆的故事，并且两个人都经常口是心非x他俩重逢第一面我的感受就是但凡有个人敢立马讲真话这故事就迅速完结了（。）
不好看，剧情真的很俗套，看到女主基本就能猜到结局了，这么好看的地方，导演也并没有把镜头放在托斯卡纳的美景上，所以无论剧情还是画面都很一般，结婚前男女主还能做事有点刷新三观。
Hurt each other / and get hurt / 难以被定义的现代版改编
蛮标新立异的，舞台感很强，服装设计很花心思，确实反应了这个时代而非还原十九世纪当时的感觉
就很fleabag版Anne Elliot。Dakota很美丽，但剧本安排得有点神经搞笑，男角色又各有各的奇形怪状，虽然看的还挺愉快的，却完全不是我心目中温柔内敛又深情的劝导CP。
故事一般，父亲死了去继承遗产连墓地都不去看一眼？父子关系、和女主的微妙情感原本可以很好的串联，却毁在了杂乱无序，好在呆梨的风光和奶酪令人无法抗拒，就当舌尖上的托斯卡纳来看吧~ PS，原来欧洲人也会吃鸽子。。
面对群山，托斯卡纳是另一副模样。看看想想这剧情我竟然看完了。
不太懂这个故事的逻辑，如果男主那么爱女主为什么还要去撩别人？
这房子掉五百米不散架质量是真好，五百米大坑填满的雨也是真大，氛围倒是蛮好，既是生命的奇迹又是人性的奇迹，人人为我我为人人的
演员演技非常不错。但是剧情有些一般，救援队伍就是弱鸡
好看，是我永远无法拒绝的故事类型，wentworth太让人心动了
一旦接受Lady Russell长得像“栓Q”就……但是达妹是好美的啦！改成疯狂独白戏也还行吧，毕竟这悔恨八年的心情是非常打动人的，海边对白戏也看到飙泪。不过男演员们都不太行，男主总像被人打过蔫蔫的样子一点也不英气啊喂（摊手.jpg）
我知道这就是一个老套的爱情故事，也看过英国人拍的不下三个版本，然而！还是在浴缸哭戏和最后关键信件被念出来的时候感动得两眼发热。激情回头把给此前版本的高冷三星统统改成了四星
前期铺垫的太长肥皂剧剧情到后期基本上补救不回来了 一想到这种奇怪的调调应该一定是国产电影最后翻拍喜欢的感觉
达妹优雅动人，with Nina and barbecue.
看了半个钟实在是太婆妈太无聊，翻开短视频，5分钟就看完了。真香。
非常现代的改编，发型感觉简单了很多(偷懒？)特别现代化，剧情线按照小说来，但呈现方式是以女主的内心独白进行展开，有点像福尔摩斯小姐那种叙事方式。还行吧~
无聊，主角还那么丑，难怪整容业那么发达，不整容没法见人
全片无惊喜，千篇一律的套路。都陷到地下了，女生的红唇妆容仍然精致，男人们还能对坐着喝酒释怀，在地上等待的妈妈们也能有沉下心来的时刻，隔壁楼的居民竟然都不担心自己会有生命威胁还不同意政府的营救，也是没谁了。而且地下500米的环境，除了阴暗一点，跟地上竟然没区别（我一个文科生都能感觉出反科学了）……冲着光洙看的，可能是因为看他的综艺太久了吧，他一出现我就容易出戏，也没有给我《特级兄弟》带来的惊喜（还是角色契合吧）。1.25倍速看完，仅一星不能多给了……
