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.

剧情真的令我摸不到头脑，剧情里“没计划”是一回事，拍出来的效果稀碎却是另一回事
一场精彩的古着时装秀，你永远可以相信Colleen Atwood。
这是神奇动物在哪里，不是GGAD在哪里。中年基佬分手为什么要伤害小动物。顶尖巫师打架为什么要互相摸胸，还摸了那么久。大家都是工具人。原著里的邓布利多确实喜欢talk in riddles, 但这不是转场生硬剧情稀碎的理由。港真，换个导演和编剧吧！要不是哈利波特大IP加持，前两部估计连7分都到不了。我真的受够了大卫叶茨。罗琳阿姨写小说就好，剧本还是让专业的编剧来改编，OK？
主角Newt和神奇动物已经成了挂名主角，这个系列看到第三部基本可以肯定主线和他们没什么关系了。邓布利多在这个系列里的形象和在HP里的形象完全是脱节的，仿佛只是叫同一个名字的另一个人。HP里的邓布利多受人敬重，人们为他死，我都是相信的。可是在FB里的邓布利多，随便一句话就一呼百应，他什么都不用做，就有很多人愿意为他舍生求死，我却无法信服。另外，虽然换角了一度不适应，但我觉得麦斯叔叔演得真不错。
看睡了一个小时。蝎子舞作为全片最佳也是全片最可有可无的一段，我觉得诚邀大家去看宫野真守版。
我的妈呀，邓教授开场直接表白！还有重回霍格沃兹！经典台词“always”重现！官方各种自造重磅炸弹啊！餐厅呼风唤雨的打斗也太有想象力了！邓布利多和克雷登斯、格林德沃的两战也很精彩！最好的一部《神奇动物》！幽默元素也回归了好多。女主怎么拍着拍着成客串了？有点想念德普！血盟原来就是铁男大招啊！系列进行至今主心骨越来越明确，就是标题神奇动物卖萌打辅助，主讲粉丝最关心的第一次魔法战争时期的GGAD。粉丝狂喜！！！！！！！
这电影怎么越拍档次越底了，搞的好像某些电影车工流水线上下来的作品，给钱就能拍的那种，我记得哈利波特宇宙明明更有逼格的。
第一次给喜欢的ip大热片1星实在忍不了了，仅有的好感给麦叔、出场1分钟的tina和JNH的音乐，复制粘贴第二部的吐槽短评已经不够用了，这部更过分，故事讲不明白脑袋里经常跳问号+零散剪辑转场沉闷催眠这些都不用说了，全片=30分钟预热+1.2小时注水扯皮+20分钟选举+10分钟结尾，注水毫无意义的内容就比如忒修斯在地牢和黑哥卧底我就想问这玩意到底有任何任何的意义吗纯凑时长啊，玩zz更是幼稚出天际，全靠人海欢呼没有任何实际干货，选举造势了半天最后还得靠钦 定...老格人设倒了，主角全在转圈圈，配角全是单薄纸片一闪而过...无力讲了，这片唯一意义就是剧组给ZSJL补拍一点闪电侠戏份吧...
嗅嗅也没那么多戏份
For the greater good.
2.神奇动物系列三部曲不能连在一起看，当然演员换了就不说了，可以圆谎的，我就当格林沃德喜欢换身体，前两部的女一女二全体打酱油边缘化导致三部电影割裂严重，这才是问题的根源。
最后不管是ggad还是阿不福思的always 这些细节都让我在影院留下眼泪
这是麒麟吗？这明明是梅花鹿啊！麒麟能决定的事还投什么票……这是什么智障行为……但……麦叔真是性魅力无限啊，魔法大拿终极对决（排面也太小了点）互摸胸的行为虽然有点迷惑但旁人看了多少还是有点脸红心跳呢！还有就是，是我看电影不认真吗？预告片里那句I’ve loved you. 怎么没听到？！明明就冲着邓布利多和格林德沃的旷世虐恋去的……
和前两集比起来，这集情节过于平淡和拖沓，这对奇幻片是致命的
第一部还有将蛇鸟抓进茶壶里这样的精彩镜头，第二部结尾的音画效果整体提了一口气，到第三部还剩下什么…
22_081。这都拍了啥啊，Eddie这个主角（还是主角吗）跟走过场似的都被搞基抢足风头了；拔爷演这角色感觉不对啊虽然欢迎他搞基但也搞个合适点的嘛
年龄这么大了第一次看首映，感觉年龄大了熬夜看电影真的会猝死，回家差不多应该三点半了吧，害怕明天起不来上班，想睡一会但是imax场真的吵的闹腾。
这竟然能比第二部更烂……虽然各种意义上都烂的很明显，但是还是看的很开心=。=粉丝滤镜大概就长这样了。
老船长德普和拔叔的格林德沃，我站拔叔这一边多一点，但是临时换角色在这种级别的ip，其实也可以算减分项了。
下一部必须特别好看，不然没法给这部“承上启下”的借口。其实讲“爱”的剧情很带感，拍出来咋这么乏味。
