Mackenzie Crook adapts Barbara Euphan Todd’s classic children’s books. The series follows the adventures of Worzel Gummidge, a living scarecrow brought to life by mysterious magic, who lives in the rural countryside of Scatterbrook Farm. With his mischievous personality and the ability to swap heads for different skills, Worzel frequently gets into amusing and heartfelt trouble.

Susan and John, come to stay at the farm and soon discover Worzel’s secret. Together, they embark on whimsical adventures, learning lessons about nature, friendship, and responsibility. The series brings a mix of comedy and fantasy, capturing the charm of the countryside while exploring themes of environmental awareness and the importance of connecting with the natural world.

Starring Mackenzie Crook as Worzel, the critically acclaimed reimagining offers a modern twist on a beloved story, blending humour with gentle life lessons for a new generation of viewers.
