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.

暗网猎奇女权小故事，空虚女性惨遭捕食，充满小清新的戏谑。这个闺蜜和调酒师是什么鬼，真是太破坏这和谐的氛围了。我尼玛女主真卧薪尝胆，斯德哥尔摩是受害者爱上施害者，这倒好最后来了一手施害者爱上受害者，就是男主人设也太潇洒太单纯了，当然了，潇洒却愚蠢。导演很棒，编剧拉胯，一手好牌最后打得稀烂，最后复仇瞬间落入俗套毫不惊艳，电影之前营造的别致格调、氛围、人设都被完全破坏了，把温柔地吃人这么棒的主题延续到最后，不香么？其实作为杂食动物，人肉肯定不好吃。冬兵还是帅气啊
爱情从萌生到死亡，女性自我价值在这个短暂《新鲜》的「面试」过程中持续走低：从一个自我感觉良好的都市白领，到被「猎头」凝视、追捕的猎物，再到成为明码标价被「主人」调教和利用的奴隶，再到被「商人」分割、归类和买卖的商品，最终沦为没有人类特征的行尸走肉。作为这部恐怖片的重头戏，女主自救的方法并不新鲜：一点点吃掉同类，然后占据权力上位——在这段主奴关系里扮演主人角色。遗憾的是，除了满足观众的病态好奇心，这种以暴制暴的方式也只能放走几个人。想要就地解决掉资本主义这个食人魔需要有精神上的武器，显然，作者没有给主角们匹配合适的工具。这个充满血腥、暴力和恶趣味的升级打怪游戏最终挑起了性别对立。然而，就算她杀掉Boss解放了一屋子受害者又能怎样，对爱情这一永恒命题怀有浪漫想象的「职场」小白们一茬接一茬地疯长。
小成本悬疑电影，电影前半段真的无聊到打瞌睡，然后被暴风雪困住后就成了典型的密室环境，必须靠人物矛盾来推进剧情了，所以所谓的“反转”基本就是不用猜也要知道的，可惜黑人老兵的出现价值低了很多。
3.3分。 路子有点浮，策略有点浅，画面有点俗，人物有点傻，整体来说，这片子有着浓浓的网大廉价感，一看就不是大厂精雕细琢的货。但这一切并不妨碍本片在噱头和题材上的诱惑力。陌生帅哥PUA年轻女孩，并将她们带到豪华别墅，下了迷药开吃人肉，为了维持生活，甚至将人肉出口到各个财阀口中，真真有够猎奇！ 片子在故事构造上，基本照搬了《逃出绝命镇》，只不过，这里把黑人小哥换成了白人女孩，在政治正确上一如既往，前者为了种族声张，后者为了女性声张。当做一部cult片看，还是不错的。
题材，颜值，朋友很棒。最多三星。这里面其他的男的确实挺差劲的，我要是女生也讨厌那些恶心的男的。感觉这部电影对男生有很大的恶意。女主算正常的，男主其实也不咋地，傲慢，不会聊天，尬聊，没主见，老套，和其他男的比起来就是帅点，当然也只是女主认为帅。女生其实也很吃男生的颜值，更愿意找一个帅的。女主的朋友真的棒。只要你骂男人，我们就是好朋友。男主老婆的腿让我细极思恐，这也太爱他了吧。想到了动物不就是这么被人切成肉丝吃掉
不要和陌生人说话！还挺好看的！男的真的不行……
能把吃人这个事拍的如此真实，还算是第一部。以前看过女主演的《正常人》，这部的表现也很不错。
1.如果对方没有社交网络账号，这将是一个很需要提防的地方，用社交网络或搜索去鉴定一个人的身份、朋友圈和职业，这个很重要；
还不错，三星半吧。女主长相很讨喜，但又有点识别度不太高。反正就是吃女人嘛，全世界的传统技能了。那男的要是在我朝估计更能如鱼得水。
下了个垃圾版本，看了个垃圾电影，没有一点写实镜头
整部电影都在讲着一个吃人的道理:男人不值得！
感觉大家都在假装变态或假装心理不适……但事实上，在人间，大多数人并不关心你吃不吃人，或者说，没有这方面的议题，因为它并不是日常的啊，它给人的感觉就像有人问你资本吃不吃人，一模一样。太抽象了！若不是真变态或真单纯，谁有那么大的共情能力啊。
古今中外 男人都吃女人，看清现实，放弃幻想，远离男人！
6.5分。女主智商全程在线还是值得好评的。
有个黑人闺蜜让情节更有说服力。真好玩，我愿称之为《逃出绝命镇》的姊妹篇；某些细节梦回《金刚不坏》，有那么点昆汀的味道。塞巴斯蒂安演出了魅力、自大、愚蠢、二逼等丰富气质
就……还成吧 也没什么expectation 肤浅如我只是想看两个主角就可以收货了 剧情有些地方还挺弱智的 刻意的地方也有 歌太多了朋友……

把你关在猪圈里，一点一点吃掉你，手脚耳朵舌头乳房，火腿，刺身……极度不适！Woman tastes better。女人尝起来更美味！yk掉你的阴茎！！You are not fking stupid.It is always their fault!
好喜欢Daisy的文艺脸，连恐怖片都变得小清新了起来。而本片确实没什么血腥镜头，更多的是想象力带来的不适感。说实话通过前半部分不是很能猜到会走复仇路线。
食人的惊悚没太体现的出来，要向剧版汉尼拔多学学。
