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.

节奏紧凑，零下状态的危机片确实很有看点，女主很贴合剧本，最后二十分钟超出编剧认知边界了，扯
一个人在一望无际的冰面滑行的时刻，值得 2 颗星
整部电影就跟名字一样，支离破碎！难看难看太难看了！卡梅隆再胖下去你就只能演这种角色了，好嘛！
敌军那么强悍怎么在敌军大后方还有这么先进的根据地。米帝的生化武器迟早会引起生物灭绝，该死的米帝
对现今社会的一个寓言：敌人来自四面八方，面目不清；敌人手段狠毒从不留情；敌人会突然出现再悄然消失无法防备，让人疲惫不堪。可是更可怕的却是己方上层，他们不仅要消灭敌人还要把自己的人也一起灭掉，手段残忍毫不留情。
剧情没啥亮点。超级女特工安娜和空中监狱反派头子在这里边儿战斗力弱爆，女主除了胸稍微小点，真的实在太漂亮了。唯一的亮点大概是，女主应该是对男主动了一点点真情，所以死前说了自己真名。男主所说的，本来这些财产都是女主的，她根本不用抢——在当时的情况下，应该是真心话。但事实上两个人其实并无感情基础，男主以后变心也是有可能的。女主再狠心一点，至少逃掉是可以的~
大数据电影，剧本烂到不行。不过冰原上滑行的几个镜头还挺好看的。
情节3，表演3，画面3，寓意1，尿点2 = 12/25，48分电影
变态女杀手可以独自美丽啊，为啥要有个变态继父，最后因为心软还被反杀了，烂尾差评警告⚠️
不相信政府不相信上级更不要相信所有美好的预言，这就是他们的世界观。
小丑+克勃格安娜+俄罗斯黑帮头子干不过一个甜妹？不过甜妹是真的美，绝对加分项了。另外，两个白人的孩子为啥肤色不是白色？
演员很养眼，但剧情实在是太套路了。完全剧透版预告片也是挺绝的。
为了看女主全程没眨眼，四分全给女主角(⁎⁍̴̛͂▿⁍̴̛͂⁎)*✲ﾟ*
剧情low，这个男主的人设也太笨了，家里的智能设备没有求生方案的么，没有拔线的时候语音报警不可以么？妻子一进门看到碎玻璃不赶紧出去报警的么…即使受伤了，后面两个人竟然打不过一姑娘，还是孩子开了一枪。。。
评论区全都是女主的颜粉，很少看到一个女演员的颜值可以盖过电影本身。女配竟然是《安娜》女主……
大俗套，也算惊险了，演员男女都是身材颜值在线，可以一看。
看着这孩子长大的，现在都扮演爸爸了·········女主真美
其实还不错，不过做为安保级别的房子也太差了，一块石头就打破玻璃，这？？？？女一真美啊，身材也一流！！女二是安娜女主，真担心她随便搞定2反派！最后女主为什么杀了反派2，难道想单飞？？？
真就是破烂稀碎的惊悚片 全程靠女主支撑着看完
内容就是富翁以为钓了个漂亮的妹纸，结果是人家早已经密谋要夺取他全部身家的人，最后他妻子和女儿来了才扭转了结局。
