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.

道理讲太满了，能不能给我们观众一点思考和回味的空间啊…
"I know how broken you are. I still love you."
选角只满意Ben和Zoe妈妈🥲和音乐剧在同样的位置哭了，但影片还是有很尬的地方，只能说不忍苛责这个故事
对音乐剧粉而言，可能唯一出彩的地方就是把假想中的Conner和Evan相处的片段拍了一小段出来吧，但比起音乐剧版，电影版无论是情感渲染还是剧情推动，真的逊色太多了，更加做实了有些优秀的音乐剧其实根本就不适合被改编拍成电影
i didn't fall. i let go.
其实我觉得电影拍得很不错哎😭 这是第三遍看deh 第一遍看ds其实都没怎么看进去 就是每一首歌都记熟了 第二遍舞台剧几乎是狂热和哭泣 第三遍就是电影 感觉电影比戏剧更平缓 删了两首歌加了两首歌 都很喜欢 戏剧冲突减弱 虽然游戏地方还是有戏剧硬塞在电影里的感觉. ben的演技更透彻地体现出来了 喜欢对alana更立体化的描述. so big so small那边还是哭哭哭哭哭哭 好吃亲情呜呜呜 zoe妈妈 she has already lost one son就ohhhh呜呜呜呜
一眼看出alana是饥饿游戏里的rue，剧情整体就是北美版伤痕文学mix贫富差距mix开头忽然xx自杀了一切发生了变化，都是非常熟悉的元素；男主没有把个人转变的过程演绎好，反而显得人很猥琐；3.5/5
音乐很好听，但故事本身很狗血。特别是中段you will be found的高潮还是建立在谎言的基础上。
But keep going.
As much as I love Ben Platt, he's grown too old for this role. 他在舞台上的靈氣與美麗在大熒幕上消失殆盡，儘管歌聲再動人，使用用捲髮來裝年輕只凸顯出他的疲態而不是稚氣。Choreography and blocking are awful. The whole crowd in the gym during the opening number is a total disaster. Most of the casts are great, but Zoe could not deliver. And can we talk about why they cut "To break in the Glove?"
难受，以后不再对音乐剧版改编报任何希望了……电影版在很多台词以及场景的设计上都几乎照搬了音乐剧版但是塑造的氛围却没有原来的十之一二，拉垮的一众演员(摩尔和艾米除外)配合导演的垃圾拍摄功底让本电影成功丢失了原故事的所有魅力。原版通过舞台放大的不同人物的复杂情感在此电影里面要么显得十分割裂要么就直接缺失……很喜欢Ben 以及Dear Evan Hansen但是这部电影确实有亿点不尽如人意。
这个剧就是专门为剧粉服务的布景更好的音乐剧，也没有任何更多展开剧情甚至场景。dear小本有艾米亚当斯搭戏了，期待更多大荧幕作品。
为啥会有这么无聊的电影。。。真的是我近两年看过最无聊的电影
大概是因为之前听说音乐剧版挺不错期待值太高，反正这个影版是觉得挺一般的。歌还不错，但就是这个剧情…自杀小哥到底是个啥样的人？以及主角和小哥妹妹那个恋爱尬到我了
请 停 止 音 乐 剧 改 编 上 大 屏 幕 ！ 想 上 大 屏 幕 赚 钱 就 放 官 摄 ！
整个剧情建立在谎言上
70/100 前一个小时还是很好的，后面开始崩坏，唱的歌感觉都不是很符合情景，除了摩尔的那一首歌。虽说是这样，但也是今年今年看的最符合心境的歌舞片了。
ben的演技👍但是拍电影实在不如出官摄……即使拍成这样音乐还是很打动人
由于没有看过音乐剧版本的，所以对这部影片的打分只能综合音乐剧元素和电影元素。作为电影，有些片段实在有点尴尬，因为就是在干唱。但作为音乐剧，很能打，音乐性自不必说，整个剧情走向看到中段时我一度怀疑它是否要走向普通音乐剧的大结局忽略最主体的矛盾，还好最后Evan Hansen仍去面对了它。结局设置的很真实，自己埋下的谎言终究要自己去解决，自己内心的恐惧也要自己去面对。Dear Evan Hansen。
虽然久闻音乐剧大名，但一直没看…所以就整体剧本上来说，第一次看我还是很喜欢的，一方面毕竟横扫托尼底子很好，另外主要是共鸣点太多了…剧本结构以及歌曲本身的内容对我来说非常有说服力，可能是今年新片中最能牵动我私人情感的一部
