An enchanting story about two devoted scarecrows, Betty O’Barley and Harry O’Hay, who are planning a wedding to remember. When Harry insists on leaving the farm to collect one last thing for their big day, a smooth-talking scarecrow named Reginald Rake swoops in with plans of his own. Chaos ensues, and soon, Betty is in danger and everything’s at risk. Can Harry get back in time and save the day? 

Full of heart, humour and adventure, this is the joyful tale about loyalty, love and learning that the most important thing isn’t a grand gesture – it’s simply being together. 

Adapted from the beloved story by author Julia Donaldson and illustrator Axel Scheffler (The Gruffalo), this half-hour animated special features an all-star voice cast including Oscar-nominated Jessie Buckley (Hamnet) as Betty O’Barley and Domhnall Gleeson (About Time) as Harry O’Hay, alongside national treasure Rob Brydon (Gavin and Stacey) as Reginald Rake, all led by Sophie Okonedo (Slow Horses) as the narrator.
