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.

这种用脱线搞笑的方式一本正经地演绎侦探悬疑推理剧的方式真的让人看的欲罢不能！！找一群群众演员用浮夸的演技重现案发现场的方式实在太有趣了吧！
跳过sp来看，有一点莫名其妙，但是杉咲花确实蛮可爱的！
但这个案件是在太离谱了！
感觉就是个电视剧加长版，而且有视频警察难道不应该早发现酒杯中的酒的问题了么？
小律师可爱依旧 但这次的故事实在是……不禁要发出“就这？”疑问的程度……
剧情硬伤严重到叹气的地步了。。新女主实在中二的让人尴尬 松本润的演技依旧很。。松本润 香川叔是我唯一看下去这个ip的动力
“真相能否给人带来幸福，不得而知。不过，有一点可以肯定，谎言是救不了人的。”
我不太接受这种整个村子为保自己人而陷害外来者的行为
就是案件不够严谨,尤其酒杯里的酒量变化的照片,这么多人都看不出来?这种电影版感觉就是怪怪的,像加长电视版
既然中的毒不是同一种，可是十五年前验血都不验吗
剧情硬伤严重到叹气的地步了。。新女主实在中二的让人尴尬 松本润的演技依旧很。。松本润 香川叔是我唯一看下去这个ip的动力
奈奈和文乃的回归，不错的剧情加上各种经典梗，全剧党表示很满意啦！就是最后的握手🤝在回味之中有些不舍，小律师估计不会有第三季了_(:_」∠)_
一般，开场那个案件太短人物都没分清还特别绕……
ps：道枝的演技真的好灾难啊orz
完全是SP的制作和质感，真的完全没有电影的规模感。
相较于SP，电影版要细腻很多，算是超出我预期吧。虽然案件让人想吐嘈，为了守护两个孩子，而毁了一个家庭。全村人竟然没有人觉得不对，15年过去也没有内疚。看久了也不觉得小花呱噪了，而是get到她的可爱，在其他人插科打诨时，小花也是认真在帮忙深山查案。南云律师的反转，在意料之中，只能说少了点惊喜，毕竟SP里面还是期待角色黑化进一步发挥的。但也不得不说，西岛叔果然不适合演坏人，演技也太有感染力了。奈奈的出现，真的是惊喜，可太想她了。虽然我吃道枝的颜，但是演技还是要加强，表情无法传达情绪，是案件的中心点，存在感还是弱了点。不过我一直喜欢这个系列，所以多给一星。
一直很喜欢小律师系列 虽然案子略微有点扯 但是整体还是很喜欢！结尾曲我真的听到很想哭
7。剧本本身是不错的，但是拍得比较浅显，节奏也稍拖沓，收尾潦草。
稳定的发挥，但又没什么新意。要是佐田和深山之间戏份更多一点就好了，比如深山继承豪门望族遗产hhhhhhhhh（啪串戏了
99.9剧版的反转都做得挺精妙的，这次映画版就比较逊色了，而且刚看完前男友的遗嘱同样的集体犯罪包庇真凶还是那边比较合理
