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.

我永远爱野原新之助！
前大半段跟之前的作品相比有些弱，后20分钟算是有些力挽狂澜了，不过在蜡笔小新剧场版电影中算不上出色的佳作
Fire！青春！
评分居然这么高吗…感觉要素过多，堆砌到一起没有成为更好的作品，可能我还是更喜欢大人帝国的感觉吧。
Fights of the underdogs
青春是曾经拥有，是就在当下，是自备感，是爱自己，是爱那些无意义的事物，是fire！春日部防卫队的友情真好啊，结尾马拉松太燃又好哭
青春就是无数无意义的事情而组成人生最精彩的一部分
剧场版从来都不会让人失望，紧跟时代，发人深省。
永远保持一颗傻子般的童心，多是一件美事呀。
青春是曾经拥有，是就在当下，是自备感，是爱自己，是爱那些无意义的事物，是fire！春日部防卫队的友情真好啊，结尾马拉松太燃又好哭
我认为每个人都有不一样的见解…
這集真是又燃又熱血又有意義！連阿呆都喜歡上了學姐，正男貌似也迷戀上了學長?XD，小新風間繼續相親相愛，妮妮應該還是最崇拜自己😅。後面一波一波的感動襲來，從詮釋什麼是“青春”，到風間最後對小新的告白，真的太讓人心潮澎湃了！在日本這樣追求千人一面的社會環境，有小新和小新父母這樣的角色，真的是有意義的！就算沒意義，電影裡也說了“沒意義的事也是需要的”！太多關於屁股的梗“吸ケツ鬼”“解ケツ”…😅還有爸爸說的“二日酔いと弱音は、吐いたら楽になる”😂太讚了！說到爸爸，還是喜歡以前爸爸的聲音啊啊啊啊！
本新风党+春日部团粉狠狠满足，最后的马拉松部分又燃又好哭。青春是什么？对我而言，是春日部防卫部陪伴的每一天😭。
超惊喜之作！万万没想到这部剧场版会是如此纯正的本格推理。案件并不复杂，但贯穿案件的所有人物和所有剧情，都超级让人感动欢喜！新风CP算是一辈子锁死了，五小之间的友情让人忍不住想要落泪。
我从小就很喜欢看蜡笔小新，因为我觉得小新是这个世界上难得的纯真快乐的小孩吧，他能永远保持着自我，能享受着此时此刻属于孩子的快乐。他虽然不是所谓的“精英”，却也能从一个孩子的角度看透世俗，看透很多连大人都看不懂的道理。小新从来就不是愚笨的，他是这世上最最聪明的小孩。
青春是可以犯错但是不留遗憾，青春是影应该拥有美好的回忆。看了那么多关于青春的电影，没想到被一个幼稚园的孩子定义了。
在蜡笔小新剧场版看柯南，结果竟然还比柯南好看热血！！！
我竟然能在蜡笔小新里看到要抓住当下，随性青春的思想。
蜡笔小新剧场版一般都不会差，立意非常好，从来没有真正的坏人，“一个只有精英才会得到优待，而弱者就如同蝼蚁一样，真是个让人窒息的地方。”马拉松的感人之处我就不说了，我想说：“大哥，你真帅啊，虽然你的脸和身体完全不违和，但你，真帅。”
蜡笔小新剧场版总是可以看到很多不同的惊喜。
