Scarecrow Magic

I have just watched the first episode of this two part series and found it wonderfully imaginative even for a near 70 year-old like me. Mackenzie Crook played Worzel to perfection with his words of wisdom and the robin chicks in his pocket was a nice touch. The two children, having experienced a little bit of magic in their lives, reacted with a sense of wonder that I would have felt at that age. I hope that a longer series is planned for 2020/21. I will be watching!

Lovely

A very good hours of TV. Beautifully acted and filmed. Would love to know whereabouts it was filmed (recognised Luton Museum in Wardown Park) but scenery was stunning. British TV at its best

So lovely and funny!

Absolutely beautiful! The acting, costumes, scenery, humor and all of it! We are Dutch and never heard of Worzel Cummidge before. So nice to watch some positive, sweet and also a bit educational entertainment!

WELL DONE 👍

When i heard it was being remade i had my doubts but this is very well done. The story the scenery the music and the acting are all good. Its an English folk tale in essence. Well done Mackenzie i look forward hopefully to more episodes.

Beautifully updated, with stunning cinematography hy

Just watched the first episode, a gentle, funny and engaging adaptation. Mackenzie Crook has captured the essence of Worzel perfectly, a kindly but scatty scarecrow, looking after the balance of nature. The CGI effects are cleverly done, really bringing alive the illusion of the scarecrow. The only problem - it's really made me wish for summer in the English countryside again!

Trivia
In interviews to promote the series, Mackenzie Crook said he had never watched the original ITV series starring Jon Pertwee as a child because his family only watched programmes that were on the BBC back then. He therefore had no worries about being compared with such a legendary performer as Pertwee and felt a new version should be judged as something quite separate from the original.
