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.

然后剧情就开始松散了，太多无关紧要的情节，这部电影其实可以缩短到一个半小时。
如果他是那个对的人。就不会让你失去自我。所以。我们值得重新面对。第一次约会。第一次吵架。第一次说爱你。从来没有尽在掌握的爱情。更多随遇而安的幸福。为Talia的俏丽加一星！！！
烂片。俗套。搞基。男人真的不管活到多大都好幼稚。以上。
3.5星。老板娘和“小伙计”。为啥个人觉得有点西部版《新龙门客栈》的赶脚。
5颗星不给剧情，全部给配乐和画面配色，音乐都是我喜欢的风格，画面都是很美很舒服的设计，我决定搜搜这个导演其他作品
只能说老爹挺厉害，跟不同媳妇儿生的娃都是黑帮大哥，这要家庭和睦不还得给这个行业垄断了
看完开头就忍不住给五星了。打三星的都是些什么怪咖？
评分为什么这么低。内涵、剧情，动作，应有尽有，唯一不合理的就是玛丽送人头的设定太有悖常理，减分太多吧。
本来也没指望漫威杀人不见血的动作戏能有什么惊喜，关键是第一部时觉得还算有趣的共生互动梗也变得索然无味了，那真就没啥可看的了。
额…………节奏混乱，剧情不知所措，剪辑凌乱，槽点太多。导演是个昆汀迷。
又萌又丑，超级可爱，第二部回归啦。波兰看得，开心。剧情一般，没啥内涵，不过作为爆米花电影还是合格的。
white town闹呢哈哈哈；马斯克就是闲了看了会Netflix发的七步诗吧！
是否江郎才尽？美国大片一个个都是相似的样子，无聊
网红款卡点，凹造型，扯猫逼神剧，豆瓣评分越来越离谱。就这破片值三星么。
剧情中的角色，肤色换成一帮脏兮兮的白人，这个故事会显得合理一点。
奇袭红帽唠会嗑，知书达理劫火车，赌只右手炸通天，布坊染具缤纷斗，生死快枪无仁义；精致剥削西部片，众黑哥们的贫嘴比耍枪要好看点，文戏稍显拖沓，结尾反转也大可不必
三星的西部片，音乐太好听了加一星。 最后我还以为他不会开枪，是我天真。
Gaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyy，ok，GAY.
3.5星吧
这…汤姆哈迪给自己的角色写的CP文吧…作为超英片没有一点点的格局，并且无精华，看结尾彩蛋这是要和荷兰弟版蜘蛛侠联动了？？
