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.

就从来没在这类型的内容里看到过干干净净的北欧人。皱着脸看完的，一句fokk都没有，笑不出来，不能否认有着强烈的美感。复仇题材能写得让人想要两边都活着，就是好的。不过仇人们在瓦尔哈拉相见了怎么办。
野蛮血腥 但总觉得差口气 类型片文艺片有点两边不靠 不尴不尬
画面很好，打斗太平常了，剧情实在是太套路普通：拿了把牛逼的剑废了牛劲，那么多巫师帮忙，结果还是那么费劲，唉
熊与狼的力量在体内翻涌，总有神明指引着复仇之路。国王想要死在战场却躲不过弟弟的冷箭，神剑想要嗜血吞心在火山口斩草除根夺回属于自己的一切。从迷到信，哪有什么神明，不过是你在乎的东西支配着灵魂，让信念支撑着维京血脉。
这大段大段的中文 毫无出戏感 中国文化还是比较偏向老美心中的中国文化 但可以理解 谁没事想来看文化纪录片 但说实话 这才算是文化输出 普通老美谁在乎孔子是谁。ps 女主的存在真的是画龙点睛
女巫我不太吃，这个我也吃不下x 他俩演母子会不会太那个啊x 但有一说一火山裸体肉搏真的有点戳我xp....
很多不错的场面以及场面调度
个人风格复刻哈姆雷特还可以，但是小手机着实感受不到氛围
特效甚至不及艾尔登法环，镜头也就是冰岛观光正常水平，男主时刻像个中二病少年，星给冰岛比约克和音乐，需要看几部伯格曼来治愈我这几小时
乐子极多，值得一看，尤其最后克苏鲁大战东海龙王大草，仿佛在看哥斯拉番外。以及杨紫琼对刘思慕说你长得真像你妈（陈法拉）。我：你瞎还是我瞎？
好家伙，这人真的要去瓦尔哈拉。联想古代电影，最后的决斗，绿衣骑士。这俩女演员都知道，但是感觉这里选角并不好。这导演拍过女巫和灯塔。
另类王子复仇记·北欧传奇版，母后叛变，最后和仇人同归于尽。装神弄鬼，神神叨叨，鬼迷日眼风。四星半。
梁朝伟rio辛苦，活了千年突然就春心动了，出门买个菜突然老婆就没了，跟儿子打着打着就被吸光了，中间还要帮迪士尼甩掉满大人的锅...
第3549-虽然涵盖历史和神话元素，但像是拼凑，制作得也一般，主要是哈姆雷特的内核创新有限。
另类王子复仇，杂糅的民间异教和北欧神话竟可以展现得如此怪力乱神。可惜单薄的故事承受不住波谲的世界观，在导演的个人美学作用下沦为纯形式的空洞美感。剧情也成了表现的嫁衣，最后一幕不忍推敲。★★☆
咱就是说 梁朝伟跟陈法拉生出来的孩子长成刘思慕这样合理吗 （没有说刘思慕不好的意思）
说白了，这是专门拍给影评人看的，这逼格基本上就没考虑到过观众感受（3/10）
快结尾的时候倒是一直在想非正义复仇的问题，觉得，这个方向还挺值得探讨的
逻辑莫名，萝卜开会，驴马杂交……
