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.

节奏偏慢，很多剧情都有点无聊，作为观众和哈迷更希望魔法展示场面再多一点，邓布利多和格林德沃的相爱相杀是亮点，神奇动物沦为工具。这个系列和哈利波特系列相比最大缺点就是没有特别让人印象深刻的主角
就是想在大屏幕上看小雀斑和裘德洛的帅脸，多加一星
里面的民粹和强行公投，感觉挺映射脱欧事件的。
情节无聊，情怀搭救。昨晚看完深夜了，被通知广州全区凌晨开始全员核酸，真是魔幻。
竟然被感动了，会用眼神演戏真的很重要。中文译名应该翻成，邓布利多家的秘密才对吧，整个误会大了。
1.结局0分，格林沃德和邓不利多像老夫老妻一样做完体操一样然后说几句不痛不痒的话结束了本部电影，仿佛他俩在交作业一样敷衍，前半段的几处精彩对战拉高了观众对结局的期望值。
我很想只给三星 但为了这俩人要甜死了的对视…… 知道自己老相好没被着自己找别人 摸着对方的胸口听心跳……
没仔细看，关键剧情有点意思，但反正……will anyone else love you？这句看的有点想哭…
1.魔法变枪战，咒语施法少得可怜，基本变成了快节奏的枪战，类似火影忍者后期不结印的风格。
爆米花气质非要拍成上世纪默片类型，容易走神的又得不到有效转场提示，没有大场面轰炸又想体会人物感情的细水长流（邓布利多变成了个啥都知道的神棍），什么前情提要都靠啰哩啰嗦的台词，到底为什么坏蛋们不主动出击把主角团一网打尽？看了快十次了才知道导演大概想说啥，其实我觉得不可以要求太多了（真的比第二部好太多），果然电影语言是决不能照搬书的。//话说格林德沃真的好嚣张，选举完德国部长想和你握个手都被无视掉啰…黑妹教授把毒酒飞走那里好像剪了，因为拦住她的奥罗看着天…还有大家的发型为了配合纽特都变成一半爆炸头一半秃…我估计卡玛德作用就是大概把敌方布防透露一下和吸引火力吧，邓布利多那个门帘是搞个虫洞让他弟钻过来吗/虽然邓多多很凡尔赛地推辞了但在凤凰社一书里通过卢平之口得知，他后来仍旧当选了魔法联合会主席
拔叔气质太强，完全无法代入他成格林德沃，像反派但是又不是那种反派。而且说好的有爱呢？互相摸胸感受心跳突然就不打了桥段，实在太奇怪了！！！
仍然不知道神奇动物在哪里。比起前两部友好一点，但还是很困惑。德国魔法部，柏林，选举，是故意的吗？也好，在那个世界他没有当选。下一部拍邓布利多和格林沃德年轻时候一边相爱一边商量毁灭世界的场景吧。
邓布利多，一个被麒麟选中的男人。常年凭一己之力对抗魔法部的软骨头和黑暗势力。wow。魔法部居然没有干掉这个刺头。amazing。
看下来神奇动物三部，明显不如哈利波特系列，虽然对魔法元素依然有浓厚兴趣，但剧情确实有点白开水，格林德沃结尾的画面剪辑得有些生硬不连贯，感觉怪怪的。
你触碰过我的心脏吗？那是曾为你跳动的地方
傲慢的迪斯尼高高在上，女拳的破坏力深达肌理。伪善借助电影发声筒再度传递善恶之辨，不止向外，亦由向内。结合时代形势、德普官司，这部系列作品的成色越加低廉滑伪。
只要魔法世界继续拍不管剧情是什么样，都可以圈到我的💰【以及最后那一幕的阿不思真让人心疼，看着别人的婚礼是不是也想到自己那一辈子都不可能存在的婚礼呢。】
电影院重新开放了，立马去看了这部电影。但这部电影连HP粉丝都喜欢不来。到底想表达什么，东拼西凑一堆，有一些桥段根本没有存在的必要。
多一星给老头分手，看到怒急反笑，除了老头恋爱线三百六十度无死角的💩
也太烂了吧，简直像个突兀的半成品。看出来剧组没钱整特效了，两拨人仿佛在站着面对面用嘴炮魔法…
