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.

没有任何演技支撑起女主心理活动，所有行动都不合常理，你说她紧张没看出来，她愤怒你没看出来，演技差的让人发指。还假装高级带了一下宗教，试图升华，爬上去脱困还故意来个破茧重生的场面，然后各种骚操作，小孩不见了跟圣诞节拆礼物似的，莫名其妙带着小孩外面淋雨，当然家里死了两个人最后的岁月静好也让你佩服
倍速看也不过瘾，最后还是跳着看完了。嘲讽疫情的故事不少，这部就真的挺冗长无聊。最有意思的梗大概是，“蕾伊天行者”对着“曼达洛人”说，来抽查（x)我三十次？
(小baby也太可爱了，叫的人心都融化了)
就是那种一打开就知道 “我是网络大电影”
凯伦吉兰这是又回到了《勇敢者游戏》的片场？
又一部讓人失望的Netflix作品，不夠有趣劇情也太鬆散拖沓。最大的價值就是可以算一個疫情的紀念吧！
结局的动作戏还有点儿意思吧，前半部分比较无聊
又是讲疫情被隔离的故事，没想到黑人兄弟基和皮尔中的基在里面。 挺无聊的，一群人被隔离了四个月发疯了。
真的好无聊啊，这种东西写成snl段子还能一乐拍成电影就没啥意思了，另外皮是不是和网飞签了卖身契，演完Narcos那种从业巅峰就要演无数烂片，不过我还要说一声Pedro Pascal好可爱
有一次老婆不小心把自己锁在需要巧劲用钥匙打开的出租房厕所里，我在门外搞了４５分钟才把她救出来。女主的处境更棘手些，感同身受吧，代入感还是很强，另外女主很漂亮，小成本，智商在线，圣经那段很强，看着很舒服。
有的人在家被禁锢了一个多月，迫切的想出门；
【C+】动作场面依旧很强，有几处运镜也是相当厉害，在新角色的刻画上做得还不错，但除此之外也就没有什么可夸的了。
虽然想槽的点很多 但是导演自己在片里都吐槽完了…… 所以也没剩啥留给观众来槽的了……
一开始觉得是挺无聊的讽刺小段子堆砌的，结合最近的时事看好像又有点真实。
还可以，小成本制作的典范，那个恋童癖是怎么突然从门下挣脱的呢？
我觉得前期的烂苹果，准备新生活丢掉的烂苹果和在新生活下最后的好苹果对比镜头很不错啊
从头扯到尾，但还是挺好笑的。隔离有那么难忍吗，多开心呀。打恐龙的台词真的太好笑了，跟那种电影里的模式一模一样！！
反伤也是有上限的！也就只有最后一段打斗值得看下。
只有很短时间紧张的部分，不太恐怖，小成本，不要求太多了，无聊的时候🥱看过就好了
大概是我今年看过最二的电影，不过有几个好演员中和下
