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.

中国网络电影的一个通病……有可能是时长太短的原因，细节太差了。电影完成度还是可以的，故事很完整，但细节太少，根本看不到紫霞和至尊宝的爱情在哪里……紫霞来找至尊宝，至尊宝拔不出宝剑，紫霞要走，至尊宝想跟着，都合理吧。然后两人之间感情到底是怎么产生的？大反派九孔，多点细节也会好一些。但没有细节，导致他突然跳反也没什么感觉……另外因为套在了大话西游的壳上，剧情实在没新意，怎么整都是那个样~演员还行吧，演技不差，但看不出演技好。紫霞不像个仙子，更像个人间烟火气息浓重的小丫头。
本来是喝酒的时候想着一群人边喝酒边吐槽一下这个可能的又一部蹭情怀的烂片，没想到不仅不算烂片，而且比90%这个ip系列拍的都要有诚意和认真，虽然是一部网大，但所有的情节也好，表演也好，制作也好都不糊弄，很重要的是紫霞真的是好看，不是那种统一做出来的网红脸，并且还有演技，这个一般人不敢挑战的角色她完成的非常好，这是一个很重要的加分点
中间星河大战；七彩石那段我以为我进了KTV包间
uc有小编吹捧拍的多好，一开始十足的网大，有一幕甚至以为在拍星河舰队，男主角其实演的可以，后半段剧情也挺致敬周版大话西游，四星吧！
大话西游的剧情记不清了，这部的故事编的挺有逻辑，女主漂亮，男主演得不错，可给四星。这俩演员原来以前都见过，特别是女孩，这么漂亮怎么没混出来呢
我不觉得它有那么差。这是一个完整，甚至有点完美的前传。衔接的太巧妙了
我不觉得它有那么差。这是一个完整，甚至有点完美的前传。衔接的太巧妙了
真的很不错了，服化道用心，细节致敬，故事完整，紫霞仙子也俏皮
作为一部小成本网剧还是很不错滴，有诚意，给五星拉拉分，不知道这是不是吴孟达最后一部遗作，如果是的话，这部剧的品质还是配得上给达叔的演艺生涯画上句号的
绝对值3星，之所以给4星是因为他秒杀了越光宝盒和大话3，也因为达叔吧。冷饭热炒大抵如此。
导演你看周导的大话西游的时候会不会羞愧到撒把尿把自个淹死。
结局是高潮。怀念的歌声，响起总是心潮澎湃。演职员表出来的时候，达叔加框了，热泪盈眶……
熟悉的演员挺多的！也有很多《大话西游》的影子，终究是感慨与情怀。
网大良心之作，达叔情怀满分，
及格分全是看在哪达叔面子给的，其他完全是垃圾。导演自作聪明的加入了很多拙劣的无厘头笑点，愚蠢至极
还算是比较有诚意的一部网大
《大话西游缘起》达叔的最后一部电影
就是拍成网大可惜了…受成本限制很多都做的很粗糙，应该拍成院线电影的
真心觉得还可以也刚好连接上周星驰的两部，
