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.

7分吧，还蛮好笑的 很久没有看过这么又血腥又搞笑的B级片了 然后吐槽好莱坞zzzq的梗实在太好笑 北欧人真是敢讲敢拍哈哈哈
只有血和淚才能和解的凶猛夫妻，很歡樂的暴力血腥，點到即止的屎尿屁，各種轉折驚喜不斷。
垃圾电影！节奏拖拖拉拉，类型不是爱情也不是伦理，不是悬疑惊悚也不是动作，就是四不像，漏洞百出，全靠主角光环，早一枪崩了这对杀人犯夫妇就没有后面的故事了！前一秒还在互相谋杀，后一秒就变成共同抗敌了，关键时刻总是主角拿到枪，别人都是笨蛋，垃圾电影，白左国家注定拍不出好电影，只会反思、宽容、意淫、滥情！垃圾电影！电影还是美国、英国、法国、意大利、韩国的比较好看，以后不要看挪威的电影了！白左恶心死了
挪威版史密斯夫妇？？？前半场冗长又枯燥的对白，后半场全靠血浆搏眼球。所谓的「法式幽默」真是相当含蓄了。不知为什么所有人都拿枪不当回事儿，全喜欢贴身肉搏。唯一值得一看的【以下剧透】是在船上时，女主拉着快掉入湖中的男主的手，沉默了半分钟。
男主被抢指着头，无不敢不从的怂。
这就是我心目中喜剧电影应该有的样子，尽管出现了不少bug，可影片全程高能几乎从头爽到尾，还顺便表现了婚姻生活中最极端的一面。
后半段挺嗨的，结尾也有意思，顺带调侃了时事政治与好莱坞，连北欧大力推进的新能源汽车也有梗。
黑色幽默血腥版的史密斯夫妇～开始的十分钟我一直在想，这也不暴力血腥啊……结果一路反转，太赞了
杀妻杀夫黑色幽默加逃狱三王屎尿屁，最后黑人出现给我笑尿了，补叙的手法不新鲜，有趣的是各路梗王的集合现场。
马鞭戴夫 不会再疼了 啊啊啊啊
这个片子也太好笑了吧！！！血腥版的婚姻故事。
7.4 这片名翻译的像大姨妈来了一样。原以为是《婚姻故事》，结果是《血腥地狱》，不过还是血腥地狱刺激。这部片子一开始的镜头给的太明显了，工具、枪、刀、桌球台。老爹很酷有加分。
女主：沉稳，聪明，善良，为人着想，大度，果敢，冷静 。
哇呜，这故事能拍成这样真可以了，这节奏这血浆，可以。
我抛弃了他们，但我居然感觉很美好
7.5分虚高了，搞笑+反转+血浆，值得一看，但不值得反复看，所以6分足
开头好，但是将悬疑点都揭开完之后，就变成一部无脑血浆片，后面结尾再勉强拉回一点点。男主跪地求饶的那段演技，值得学习。
男主父亲是个儿子有难说干就干的行动派，一个腿脚不便的养老院在住老人，开枪贼利索，但是工具人戏短，老父亲的死令人惋惜，能好好告别也是编剧最大的善意。夫妻之道就是利益共同体，多年一起生活的默契还是有的。撞球之问太发自灵魂了哈哈哈哈，为什么看男主被强人所难的戏这么大快人心，多一点男性受害者角色的存在感挺好。
Noomi依然是打出一套血路 然而回回不一樣 挺好的 擺脫女殺手的形象
绝对的冷门佳片，大大的惊喜。全程高能，笑点不断，插叙倒叙，不断反转，精彩纷呈，一直持续到经验的结局。看完全片有一种畅快淋漓很过瘾的感觉，小国电影竟有如此之高的完成度，令人刮目相看。
