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.

有新意，有亮点！比如丧失化恶魔，比如反向驱神，比如代理人设定。看着开心，可以了。
反向驱神？@@有点搞笑，但是整体故事很一般啊。
赘婿的番外篇，平常吃饭的时候都是正餐，出去的时候都是正装，偶尔穿着大裤衩打着赤膊练点地摊儿，也是一种放松和享受。
本以为是蹭剧的热度，没想到真香。就喜欢吉吉国王这种废柴般的幽默～
最终男主为了孩子们还是与魔鬼做了交易，出卖灵魂
吉吉国王主演。。什么闲鱼，相亲网，招聘网，各种现代梗的运用，太多了，有点腻了。
精彩内容全在片头被附身小姐姐，够投入。D子们最爱的情节也有～够露骨。后面无聊漫长到睡着数次……驱魔题材已经用光了吧！拍点别的吧！
不太行 有点无聊 如果这不是淘宝赞助的 我都觉得他们倒贴……
相比于第一季更加喜欢这个第1.5季，小汤圆这个女性角色的设置与苏檀儿只能给宁毅打辅助的设置相比更加好看
女主角好看
本来是冲着喜剧人苏文兴去看的，也没抱什么期待，就想看一乐，没想到竟然还挺好看的。
恶魔和上帝互相驱逐，比谁嗓门大，最后恶魔占领了梵蒂冈，而上帝选择了被拯救的凡人，这个比喻很恰当
挺承接原电视剧的风格的，在各大主珈没上的情况下，吉吉国王带着女主算是撑起来了，而且网片能做到这程度算是可以了
忘标了，和主角团基本上毫无关系，单纯“吉吉国王”求爱记。
电影完成度很低，但开创了不少令人错愕的新概念，比如反向驱魔、耶稣和圣母玛利亚被附体、附体丧尸化，以及堪比诸葛村夫vs王司徒的正邪高能对决，看谁先把谁给吼脑溢血了。真是胡编者无畏啊。
“什么大马猴，老子是齐天大圣”——吉吉国王
被低估的恐怖片。
老实说比赘婿本剧要好看，电影笑点密集同时也有不少感人之处，而且吉吉国王的心路历程转变也和情理，尤其是结尾那段吉吉国王的对白情节设计非常好，说得上是奇思妙想，同时也看出了编剧和导演的用心。
在一众垃圾小成本网作剧里 这部算是很好的了 虽然作为番外不可避免的承袭了赘婿的热度梗和剧情 但本来这就是番外 很正常
1，作为一个网剧番外，并没有拉出跟正剧的区别，整个就是网剧加长版。2，很显然的是为网剧预热的，但是玩的还是那一套，参考李尸朝鲜，网剧预热的及格线。3，一点电影感都没有。
