    Mackenzie Crook is a genius!!!

    Great program for children and adults alike. The child actors are fantastic and Mackenzie Crook in the lead role is brilliant. If you've seen the detectorists you'll know how much Crook loves the countryside and some of the shots in this are lovely. It's funny and warm. The whole cast are brilliant.

    Bring on a full series, it would be well received in this household.

    Forget the original version and wallow in the excellent casting, leisurely pace and beautiful countryside. There are hints of The Detectorist's subtle humour and use of camerawork to bring the best out of the rural locations but by and large it is just gentle storytelling to please young and older viewers alike. A pleasant antidote to other TV programmes and a treasure unearthed this Christmas.

    It was delightful.

    I used to love the classic series with Jon Pertwee, so I had my reservations about a reboot, in reality I totally enjoyed it, as did the whole family. It was fun, entertaining and just lovely. Mackenzie Crook was excellent as Worzel Gummidge, I thought he looked incredible, and gave a very good, sincere performance. I wonder what the future holds for this show, it was pure escapism. Steve Pemberton gave a fine performance, the youngsters were very good also.

    Instantly made me feel nostalgic, and dig the original series out.

    A charming series. 8/10

    Well worth watching

    I remember the original from years ago and it bought back memories. The casting was good and although a simple story it's very enjoyable and entertaining. Mackenzie Crook makes a good worzel and it would be nice for the BBC to explore making a series of it as it's different from some of the things on telly today.

    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!

    • 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.
