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.

和《巴霍巴利王》是一丘之貉，超现实主义的英雄史诗，不难看。
印度大爽片。整体看下来，我觉得倒更像是表现兄弟情的主旨，推翻入侵者统治只是复线任务。他想为部落带回小女孩，我抛弃大业帮你完成。你想为村庄带回枪支，我不顾性命帮你实现。
拍得很不错啊 摄影 动作 剧情 特效 都是上上乘 我们的抗战片能拍出这个水平 拍多少部我去影院贡献多少部票房 而不是现在CJH那种玩意 甚至比那更烂的比比皆是
我爱印度电影
大家理解水平各不相同
要是能够接受一点夸张成分，顺便抛开成见的话，其实还挺好看的。剧情精彩，人物饱满，视觉效果也很好。
我全程：哈哈哈哈哈哈…
0622 可以理解美国人什么都没看过觉得它很好看
好（嗑/）感人的Bromance。几层故事都挺好的，侵略者的嘴脸有多丑恶，原著民的压迫、挣扎、反抗，故事内容饱满、情感充沛，水火相容、双剑合璧——印度战狼。超强的主角光环和超夸张的手法也成了一种风格，哈哈哈哈，倍速看比较好。本来想说歌舞和剧情结合的挺好，结果结尾来了段跳脱剧情之外的纯纯的歌舞//不是同期声
因此，白人“收养”（收买）有色人种小孩，原来是“传统”呀。可能就是因为以前干多了怕出事，所以现在都收“孤儿”……观感，歌舞不太适合本片的氛围，不过可以忽略，属于插曲
捧年轻人效果不错，英国人讲绥靖……呃……故事没啥意思！
无功无过，是理解张伯伦的另外一个角度吧，很喜欢男二说的一句话，希望是等待别人行动，只有放弃希望，我们才能做的更好
一个泪眼朦胧之中放手扬鞭，说：“你还不快给老子跪下”；
这部电影绝对能给你带来3个小时纯粹的快乐，漫威众英雄在这兄弟俩面前只能甘拜下风，绝对纯正的cult片体验，希望中国能翻拍一版
为张伯伦翻案，翻不去英国牺牲弱小自私自利的帝国主义底色。
丘吉尔有两句话评价慕尼黑协定：
总的来说印度狼着实超越国狼。狼们嘴上说着自己最强但说电影里每每都是蝈搞白女，这怎么自信起来哦？印度版本讲殖民在格局上输给了虽远必诛的国狼，但是作为世界的一部分他们讲甘地讲火和水和自然，不过讲真，说中国导演会琢磨出片名的实在是得看看这三个r是怎么出来的，印度版本的自信就是这么随意，只要单词里有r就算是r了，不讲究什么劳什子头压尾压什么的，印度人会跳舞会不会就像中国人会功夫？充满了抖音追求的子弹时间云云，情感戏拉满，意淫真有趣，他山之石可以攻玉，想看看印度的老法师电影了。
坚持在狱中健身，就能治愈断了的两腿，跳在空中给步枪装填上子弹连开两枪。
就跟看地道战地雷战一样！只是多了一些印度尬舞
