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.

感觉这片就是为了被拿去翻拍成泰版，韩版，日版和中国版的，剧本和主演们都时光倒转二十年可能还有点新鲜劲。不过竟然有了负负得正的效果，这种糖水味的甜腻产品背后也是一种真实。
黑蝠鲼在成为曼哈顿博士后再次成为种族超级英雄，没有看过前做还是会有缺点什么的感觉
这个爱情故事没有吸引到我……两个50多岁的大龄中年爱情故事并不是那么美好。
其实土也能很好看的，只是这部能“看”只有歌～
怎么？被压迫的黑人要化身糖果人杀光白人了？借“黑命贵”风潮拍电影来捞金？
最后都杀到无感了，可能恐怖片就是很难一直掉人心弦吧，
五分吧。。。。歌挺好听的。。。但后面剧情也太离谱了。。。虽然是喜剧爱情片但也不能一点道理都不讲吧🚬 从鸡毛秀跑了去追爱男主在机场要买别人的票在飞机上给所有乘客买鱼子酱啥的。。。看得我一脸懵。。。。虽然但是这真的过于离谱了🚬 女明星不是女弱智🚬
性转版摩登灰姑娘为啥还在给大美人配中年好人男子，凭什么成功女士就非得只注重内在。诺丁山至少给配了颜颠的Hugh Grant，就不能给个不知道自己帅但明显是大帅哥的nerd吗
包括剧情,
一直入不了戏，看到结尾我只想说请放过密恐症患者！
只要你对着镜子大喊五声“王桂香” 你就能召唤王桂香让其来…………🔪你
3.3/5 非常加分的镜头表达，镜面的运用很有巧思，剧情薄弱了一点，你以为这是恐怖片？不，这是政治片。
电影宣传做的很火，剧情非常一般，很cliche美国浪漫爱情故事，还是已经老去的中年人，大女主人设很女权。但是，歌曲和舞台效果太好了。然后，剧情非常流畅。还是为演员们点赞。多给一星的歌曲。
之前看见jlo又要演这种爱情片，我内心已经烂片预定……但仅欣赏片里jlo的歌舞和美貌，我好像是可以接受的（marry me真洗脑）
老版够惊悚，新作只凌乱。
爱情片怎么可以做到这么如同嚼蜡的，真的毫无惊喜的剧情和感动，两位真的和剧中的社会地位差一样，毫无化学反应。只能说JLO的每个出场造型都很美，但JLO也别每次事业有点回春，就又拍这种她独美剧本又极烂的个人show电影败观众缘啊。
这一版政治正确浓度太高，死道友不死贫道。种族议题味儿太冲，不行。
以后好莱坞这种说教型种族烂片会越来越多。整个设定就不合逻辑。既然糖果人出现的根源是种族歧视，那杀那么多黑人干嘛呢？全片恐怖的地方只有密恐
虽然已经是过了青春靓丽的岁月，男主欧文威尔逊也不算颜值耐打的男主，但凑一起的CP感还是有的。
