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.

剧情稀烂演技稀烂但有好多俊男美女，男主好帅好适合去演腐剧
虽然老套又几乎无情节可言，但至少比after好看多了吧，所以给个三星（就是这玛丽苏小说都需要上写作课读文学院的设定真是侮辱了大学文学专业
全世界都爱玛丽苏哈哈哈哈，因为男主太是我的胃口加了一颗星
摊手。
当小h片看了，女主真神奇，长得像莉莉柯林斯+碧梨艾莉什
都是自家人我就不端着了 男主请你给我口 谢谢二位的床上演出 其他只能说白人真的很傻白甜
设下了很多道德难题，尊重每一个作为人的个体，特别重要。
玩脱的无人机炫酷摄影，焦灼的人物对话与快速剪辑。层层压力递进，感觉这种电影才是这个时代需要的，回归以前的动作爆炸大片。但是也不乏对人和道德的探讨。
找回了当年看变形金刚的感觉，也算一种爷青回吧。
绝绝子，现在的纯爱校园片已经可以从头do到尾了吗
震惊！富二代帅哥竟然蹭邻居家女孩的wifi！（随便下载的，发现是西语片还有点惊讶，谁知道剧情这么拉胯。。官方中字版没有西语字幕，当练听力了
虽然男女主很帅，但剧情get不来啊，也不甜也不苏，doi只想二倍速
让我心动的是男主抱着女主跳进泳池里，哇塞心动心动
属于看完不好意思标记的那种无脑解压片，成年人的guilty pleasure
老套情节
前半段的推拉还挺精彩，后面就一路朝着洒狗血去了
不太好。开头救小女孩一段 迈克尔贝用了一段反差感大的柔和音乐来配这惊险场面 我以为他终于能做一些不一样的东西了 毕竟救护车这个主题听起来就比较温情 看到吉伦哈尔上救护车后我发现我错了 迈克尔贝还是那个他 喜欢狂轰滥炸撞撞撞砰砰砰那个他。挺搞笑的 汤普森在救护车里说你不来救这个警察你们就惨了。excuse me？外面追你们被搞到车毁人亡的警察就不是警察了吗？不过 当你只要把期望和智商值拉到最低 迈克尔贝也还是能给你惊险刺激的观影体验感的 如果镜头不要那么晃切得也不要那么急就更好了。冈萨雷斯真的好美 另外还是不懂吉伦哈尔为啥接这个片子。
啊哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈土狗颜狗的盛宴！！！！
比速激和隔壁神动3好多了...当摄影机远离高空和钢铁废物时电影显得正常多了，迈克尔贝生涯最佳候选了吧。“We don't stop”，搭配碎剪的多动症的摄影机虽不是都很有必要但也有点中二的乐趣，虽然某些时候仍然是廉价的游戏化的，如果场面调度再提升十倍也许就接近二十年前的徐克电影了，目前的样貌最多让人想到托尼斯科特。导演无疑想塑造一种美国面貌，医院户外的樱花献给短暂的和谐，美国的团结共存来得很勉强也很随机。美国梦总是不归之路的起点，打过越战养条夸张的大狗…疯狂的基因在几十年前就在那里了，而现在的美国更多元也更脆弱。机器模特杀人，媒体无孔不入，还有监控天网和各种现场连线，这是21世纪的大病，一些病症甚至完全无法被救援，并且，技术没有使警匪的对峙有更快的进展，反而让意外来得更疯狂。
两颗星是给男女主颜值
