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.

剧本完全可以浓缩到一小时，两个小时太拖沓了，根本没法集中注意力看。漫画家画自己出轨可真好看，以及，我也想艳遇帅哥教练啊～
真是怎么都没有猜透结局系列，戏中戏，从漫画到真实，将一个复仇出轨的故事讲得悬念叠出，很精彩也很腹黑。剧作多精彩，就觉得拍得挺不好的，前面节奏有点拖，而氛围上又极力往全民可接受的范围靠，就使电影整体还是偏主流，打光也很刻意无趣。这样的剧本给到好的导演，风格化做出来，就会变得特别有趣，有些可惜了。
有趣！主演演技都在线，不过女二的设定感觉好迷惑。明明是三表现出来却像是男女主的cp粉。最后夸一下BGM以及插入的漫画！真的好棒！
荷里活的特效產業已經為Marvel訂製了一套作業系統了吧，重量不重質、低精細高產率、創意罐頭化，要的就是短平快。他們清楚，做得差一點，沒有人會計較的。
黑木华那个角色需要过多的巧合才能掌握主动权，不高明了
年纪大了，看中二少年在犯蠢并送掉亲人中认识自我只觉得猪逼和无聊，除了卖情怀也不剩啥了
至于到底讲了个什么故事，糊涂、争议或是笃定，从一开始就在我们心中了不是么～
反派得到拯救的标准是被剥夺超能力？这是什么流氓道理？
夏日出轨轻松片，剧情在漫画和现实间反转跳跃，出轨男主一副宜室宜家的样子竟然相当好笑。这部电影，女权意识很强啊，女二事业狂只是把男主当成工具人炮友、女主的精神pua就不用说了，不但学会了驾照开上了车，也掌握了自己的人生，有点意思。
4.5 设定很不错，先以为是搞笑片，后来居然变成有惊悚的感觉，恶女赛高。柄本佑演这种外强中干的丈夫角色真的莫名合适。黑木华真的一直在进步，几个特写都把握得相当不错，扮猪吃老虎的角色真是百看不厌。
都是喜欢的演员 黑木华 柄本佑 奈绪 悬疑的剧情也很逼真 似真似假 原谅与宽恕无关 都是自己的选择 坚持自己才重要
这个结尾也太大快人心了吧！干得漂亮！哈哈哈哈
本片的实际标题应该是，蜘蛛侠：巨婴无归•圣母显灵•千年魔法打不过高中几何数学，史传奇连夜改名为艾兰图灵•为了推进剧情，梅空赴死•三虫相聚，精心雕琢的笑点居然是擦边球•格温实惨，人在地下埋，鞭尸天上来•打不过反派，那就强行治愈他们，绿魔蜥蜴齐落泪，背后原因令人暖心•兜兜转转回到原点，失忆才是真解药，漫威或将开启肥皂剧宇宙•彼得帕克醒醒，钢铁侠已经竞走三年了，史传奇也不想当你新爹•美高教育奇迹，人人都录MIT。
经过三部电影的铺垫，蜘蛛侠终于走出了舒适圈，开始独立自主、独当一面。
传真里的漫画，连接了现实。感觉报复与利用凑一起了，平平静静的处理感情，还能不放弃工作，真好。
天哪，怎么这么棒！还以为是婉转的挽回婚姻的方式，但根本不是啊，怎么可能那么轻易原谅出轨男。留白，太到位了。男主笨笨的。接近结尾那段改漫画的镜头闪回，实在是优秀。这片儿看似像水一般，节奏感却相当好
没想到吧，都这个点了，视频还没整好，电影都看完了。这种有点劲儿的小故事，果然霓虹金已经拿捏。片尾曲居然是经典蒸汽波，太喜欢了吧。
还有从之前不知道就好的事我突然就get到的，柄本佑那莫名其妙的吸引力是怎么回事！！！
小悬疑不惊悚，清新日系《消失的爱人》，喜欢黑木华多变的戏路。
报名驾校五年了都没去考，看了这个电影决定去考！
