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.

把那种融于生活的恐惧拍得好真实，并不歇斯底里但压得人窒息，只是结局依旧理想，你知道现实中不会是这样。
看到一半就开始想，不会整部电影都是女主的被害妄想症发作了吧，叫policeman来结果是搞了一场乌龙。
整个电影噱头十足，罗马利亚压抑沉闷的社会环境，金发美女的搏动，女人的直觉，但是各方面缺乏深度，本可以在悬疑上面再下一翻功夫，失望了
凶手杀人门也不关，窗帘也不拉，或许导演最后还是讽刺的女性被害妄想症。
再小心再怀疑都不为过
一个美国演员演了阿联酋出品讲罗马尼亚的影片
可能这种平缓的拍摄和简单的剧情不是我的菜 女主挺漂亮的 设定其实蛮简单 不过确实身在异乡周围又无人信任加上语言不通是会让不安情绪被放大 不过故事真的太简单了 套路也很老套
较为沉闷，最后女主竟然没死并反杀，还是比较爽的。是不是有点罗马尼亚。
出片方是阿联酋，故事背景在罗马尼亚，开始以为会有政治管控啥的，慢慢看下，只是小美女为爱情奔走异乡后遭遇变态。在婚姻中，激情是最容易退潮的成分，安全感永远靠自己去营建～从挂窗帘到会用枪；太长寿的老人某种意义上是年轻人的压力，尤其是无法分担的情况下，煎熬会把心逐渐拧巴到扭曲，甚至生出恶魔。
这个模式是天真无辜的人来到新环境，被其中邪恶罪犯一步步侵害，最终成功复仇。人物内心对陌生环境的不适感与对恶魔的恐惧交叉融合，不过其女性主义表达非常立场先行，这当然有现实可能性基础，但险恶环境（男权社会其中的性犯罪和歧视）是预设出来的，巧合过多暴露人物工具人化，而男性戏份很像社交网络热点下评论，都是固化观念。优点是偷窥—被偷窥目光交汇关系，以及两个谋杀过程的 watcher，麦卡梦露是听觉层面的，最后小女孩是视觉层面的，她们成为观众的化身，融入场面调度中。
情节简单，全靠氛围。设定在罗马尼亚，虽然有服务剧情的一定的合理性，但还是会让人联想到，制作方是不是多少带点对某些东欧国家的偏见。
地铁恍见包中物，氛围拉满造惊悚。
就是不知道过一段期间我还能记得剧情不 反正女孩子确实要小心 对她老公很失望 不相信人
陌生坏境里的窒息感 本infp看的非常有感触🥲事实证明 男人真的不可靠🥲最讨厌把一切简单归咎为“你太敏感了”
6｜毫无灵气的average movie….女主好好看呀！
铺垫太长 女主和隔壁小姐姐一起的时候好开心哦 可惜可惜可惜 为了这种细微的恐惧多给一星 凶手那么矮小佝偻一个男的 来握女主的手还是大得可怕 实在可怕可怕可怕
宁可错误相信第六感，也不放过任何一次可能伤害到自己的猜想。
相当熟悉的剧本，身处异国他乡的孤独女性，只顾事业工作的独断男人，还有一个四处行凶的变态杀人魔，几处氛围到位，整体流于老套。
女主最后很帅气，拯救了自己，也拯救了楼对面的小女孩。女主感觉跟海后长的有点像啊。整个片子的节奏的悬念营造感觉一般吧，有的地方容易睡着。
又是很现实的女性主义恐怖片 带来孤独与恐惧感的从来都不止是行凶者 还有不理解的社会环境和不相信的亲近之人 剧情伏笔设置都挺规矩 最后女主开枪之后望向男主的眼神 是代表着无数受害者对这个男权社会的质问吧
