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.

有点2000年前后那些个好莱坞爱情片回魂的意思，就刻在模版里的故事曲线，也许真的过时了？J.Lo总归是魅力四射。
镜子与皮影戏的使用很亮眼，配乐与环境音总能出乎意料，尤其是和糖果人一同出现的蜜蜂与蜂鸣，视听效果非常不错。但整体还是隔靴搔痒，表达与恐怖两不靠。
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。
最后都杀到无感了，可能恐怖片就是很难一直掉人心弦吧，
我全部关注力都在纠结男主的鼻子
吓人 男主一直扒拉那个蜜蜂叮的地方 鸡皮疙瘩都起来了
剧情很白痴，但是詹妮弗竟然演技不错诶！当她穿着镶满水钻的那条裙子从升降机升出舞台时，那神态，那眼神，还真是满满的悲剧调调。
虽然说是第一部的直系续集，但是在对于糖果人这个表意的态度和塑造上其实进行了重塑和重新解读，说不好听点就是吃了设定。这一次把糖果人当作是黑人受迫害史的集合，而非特定个体，但是事实上片子并没有很好的呈现这一点，至少糖果人的形象是一直使用这一部新开辟出来发糖果的形象，并且交代在这期间还有好多“糖果人”，那这就和第一部相矛盾，为什么第一部女主看到的还是最早的形象，而非中间某一任的形象，这从这个IP本身来理解的话就会看得非常出戏.。其次就是对于糖果人和黑人社区以及士绅化的表达，这一方面倒是完成得可以，通过男主作为第一部婴儿离开社区后的记忆缺失，以及里面对于艺术家创作与剥削的探讨，都很好的回馈了这个问题。但是到了结尾却直接糖果人粗作为了一种类似黑人守护神的身份，这就大大削弱了第一部中塑造的这一形象的深度
受够了这种夹带私货的片子，在我放松之余仍然要不断在我耳边大喊“正确”。你拍的好看倒也罢了，这还不如《隔山有眼》呢，你哪来的勇气塞那些东西进去？cops在现实世界里的一跪，换来的不是虚构世界里的“觉醒”？瓦坎达是精神鸦片，口惠而实不至，这才是黑人兄弟们应该惊醒的东西。
这是一部意图很明显的电影，残忍血腥的表面之下其实是美国黑人导演在坚持表达的主题和诉求，但除却之外便没有亮点；剧本给人的感觉是粗糙和模糊的，哪怕是基本的感官刺激也未能有层次地呈现给观众。两星。
套路很老 人也老但不显 社交媒体感很重 不过音乐还不错
分太低了吧…镜头审美还不错啊其实，就是剧本不太行，而且高能都是假的…只能造成紧张几秒钟吧。胜在立意，如果这是针对种族恐怖主义的“复仇黑人都市传说”，那我真的很想看（或想拍一部）针对性别恐怖主义的“复仇女都市传说”，最好男的看了都不敢一个人去上厕所
就，还行吧……
第一次看完生肉，诺丁山式爱情轻喜剧，看预告片就了解了全部剧情也不影响我甜滋滋的看OW和JLO谈恋爱，男帅女美，所有插曲都好听，合格的情人节电影~
以后这种强行隐喻黑人种族歧视的片子，能不能在预告片里讲明白些，不是黑人的我们就不来凑热闹看了。
艺术家发狂的前提很妙，只是这个时代观众需要的是血浆而不是精神分析
生活是一道难解的数学题，你我的相遇是一个个概率，而答案需要不断地找寻。
这么些年了JLO还在演这种类型 还能演这种类型 也是人家的本事 谁看得出是53演35呢 身材管理真的是超级超级重要呀 1611
俗，但是就是该死的想看。‖意料之中的剧情，意料之中的甜品。虽然一打开我还惊了一下这小甜品怎么有将近两个小时，后来才发觉这是因为里面有好多完整的歌。(●°u°●)」我得说，虽然我不喜欢欧文•威尔逊，但是他的头发看起来好好摸哦。
剧情很白痴，但是詹妮弗竟然演技不错诶！当她穿着镶满水钻的那条裙子从升降机升出舞台时，那神态，那眼神，还真是满满的悲剧调调。
