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.

男主书店和人妻不伦相当有实感。3000万真假钞的谜团，3张钞票引发的蝴蝶风暴，一家三口的失踪，绿帽和黑帮。开篇元叙事吉光片羽的玩的挺高级。非常遗憾剧本张力和悬念没能成功搭建起来，越到后面越莫名其妙。垮掉与寡淡感让人略感不满。
Persistent romance belongs to engineers
今年韩国的鬼片都够顶啊！
在看完《只看得见我吗》和《CCTV》后，这部绝对可以打个三星。时间线很重要，理清后故事设定还是有点小精彩，氛围感营造的也不错（除了某些前段的鬼做的效果略2b……）。另一星单独给金康宇，希望叔能去拍一下《M》第二季。
说实在的修塔的部分少了点，单纯想知道这个结构的建筑要怎么封顶...
没看太看懂，所以最后是主角自己被困在了里面是吧
想法是挺好的，就是镜头晃的呀！画面还黑漆漆的！
后面节奏稍微好一点。
情节真没意思，但是1898年完成这个工程，简直就是神迹了👍
“你没有这种经历吗？虽然已经束手无策，但还是希望有奇迹发生。如果只要鼓掌，精灵就可以不用死去。那我也会感到一丝安慰。下次要是到了束手无策的时候，我会试着鼓掌的。”
多重人格的恶鬼，利用恶魔的低语，杀害一个又一个的人。
以节奏渲染恐怖，以黑色模糊设计来迷惑观众，哪怕楼道的奔跑都以镜头凌乱，来表现主角当时的畏惧心理，他思考着怎么会循环。题材的表现也很不错，在几个时空交错之中，把故事走向正轨，而非无力改变的东西，故事情节，也就没有那么差强人意。
其实3星还是很勉强了。 中规中矩，又"规矩中显的有点乱"
就还蛮有趣的诶，中间扯东扯西的，最后连起来的时候才是恍然大悟。风间俊介演技超乎预期，藤原龙也我还是不太能get……
驱魔人不行啊，体能不行，连鬼魂都干不过，好可惜母子皆惨死
想起来〈两个月亮〉
按照汇率来说，三万日元约合人民币一千五到一千八左右。黑社会四五个打手“办事”的工资这么廉价么？其实按照网贷的正常定义，一千多的欠款，网贷公司都不会花钱雇人催收，因为不划算。不过故事其实还行的。
所以建塔和爱情之间有半毛钱关系吗，好分裂啊，女主就是个花瓶的感觉，另外艾玛古装实在又村又壮，像个挤奶养牛的乡下丫头
轮回，时空交叠这些设定并不新鲜，颇有点大杂烩的味道，但让鬼也有了一体两面，人格分裂，这倒有点意思，究竟男主是死在了哪一幕里了呢？~~
韩国恐怖片质量一年不如一年，法术穿越，输出靠吼，鬼格分裂，致敬闪灵，一惊一乍，故弄玄虚。法术版昆池岩，全靠金康宇演技硬撑了90分钟。
