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.

干天的慈雨，炭治郎真的是好温柔好温柔的人啊，永远都被这样温柔的主角打动
改编自《贝利叶一家》，简直是为今年奥斯卡获奖量身定制的模版电影，编剧教科书，除了看了开头就能知道结尾之外，几乎没有缺点。
看完tv版，再看这个就感觉一般般。其实看tv或者剧场版其中一个就行。
奥斯卡10部提名里最喜欢的一部，好动人的故事，真的好好哭哦，眼泪一直不停的流，看完窗外阳光正好，心情开阔好多，再苦大仇深的人生也需要抚慰一下，不是吗？#祝您明天奥斯卡好运～
应该是在正剧里看过了呀，善逸空中背景是月亮那里有印象的。7/10
挺好的，好过这几年的几部(点名批评外星人那部)，梗也有感动也有，追求菁英让我想起小新日常番有一集，风间因为考试失败被补习班的“朋友”嫌弃，拉了裤子还淋雨，最后被小新和美伢捡回家(受伤的总是风间难道是因为他的破绽太多了吗？)
太暖了，鬼也不是好当的，炭治郎杀鬼，杀过的都说好！！
居然还不错哎 第一次完整看完蜡笔小新的电影版 实际上剧集也没怎么看过 发现野原新之助同学真的某种意义上很成熟呢 友情亲情爱情社会元素去轮番出现 再加上屁屁搞笑 还挺有趣的（和珊和大家
我妻善逸那段没有表现出来
是那种电影，你清楚的知道它哪里好哪里不好，但是你不太想说，你只是知道你以后会把它看很多遍，然后把它推荐给自己认识的每一个人。
恶搞了一些经典剧和现在比较流行的漫才艺人，很有趣啊。有些道理和话束虽然听起来千篇一律，但是当风间和小新的对白一出来我还是哗哗流泪了。“你说的什么我根本听不懂啊”我是个笨蛋，我是个相信我们友谊永远不会变的超级大笨蛋，但你依然爱着我，你觉得我的心就是精英。风间和小新的cp我可以嗑一万年。
这类老番的粉丝真的挺宽容的，反正我是找不到当年看大人帝国的反击和光荣烧肉之路那种和小新一起去冒险的感觉了…
对鬼既有憎恨又有怜惜，果然可怜之人必有可恨之处
“哎呀 失礼了 已经死了就听不见了吧 是我粗心了~”
合集Again
这部太棒了，边笑边哭，和大人帝国并列第一的作品！！！
这拍的，太有感觉，太棒了！谁说动画就一定要给孩子看的。
EP.22-26 《柱众会议》
3.富冈义勇杀十二鬼月犹如砍瓜切菜！
追到这一段才真正觉得鬼灭好看的，是第一季的精华吧，太精彩了，又热血看了欲罢不能，好期待下一季。
