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.

看了一半，烂到对标我国杨幂和李易峰的怦然星动
这故事，能不能再老套一点？2022年了还有人拍这？还有人买票看这？
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。
前面看着还蛮带劲 后面一步步zzzq的垮得有点快
都已经不计较剧情了但槽点真是多：1、为毛那个教画画的鲍勃·鲁斯老师形象会被用在这部电影里当刻板印象的黑人Gay的男友…2、感觉整部电影对艺术概念的解读都相当肤浅，无非就是千篇一律的当代商业美术馆展览场景，然后听这些“艺术家”们尬吹他们的商业作品和生意经，是全片最无聊的地方，而且基本组成了这部电影的大部分内容...3、看这部电影的目的无非就是看糖果人杀人，结果这些场景要么有前景遮挡物，要么是远景...然后就又回到2、上面了4、糖果人含量很低
就像我作为普通人，在教巨星王宝强如何普通生活，难道巨星都是石头缝里蹦出来的么？
J Lo本色出演，歌好听人也美！但Owen Wilson太老啦，我可以看五十岁辣姨玛丽苏，但麻烦下次换个帅哥配天后好吗！
Mind-blown (not funny), a work of genius. Can’t wait to hear what the critics would say (again, no funny)
it’ actually a pretty promising rom com! Jennifer Lopez is amazing as always. 但maluma……我真的受不了这个男的。。还油腻。。他做什么都好油腻啊…….男主有点像Caitlyn jenner？哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈mathalon那里有点像mean girls，拿牌求婚有点像真爱至上，还蛮多梗。
影像也有出彩的地方
乏味至极，这几年怎么连好看的轻喜剧都拍不出了？？看Jlo和大本的八卦新闻比这个有意思……
导演夹带私货，而且剧情也不是很出彩，就这样吧
作为92糖果人的续作显然是失败的，这也是恐怖片在所有类型片中分数偏低的原因。就是光想恶心你，丝毫不考虑逻辑性。
美国笔仙深陷种族仇恨，一个有色人种都没死（然后一点都不吓人我都没被吓到🙄️
普普通通无功无过的古老传统浪漫喜剧 歌不错 ｜为了造成转折的转折 但是结合身份来看又觉得很正常 ｜在别人答题的时候干扰竟然没有裁判的嘛 无语 小男孩太讨厌了 口区
黑人恐怖片宇宙继《逃出绝命镇》和《我们》之后又一部，越来越不懂了
虽然很像为了宣传J lo专辑而拍的电影，但是最后真的很好哭😭剧情当然是很不现实的，但是一部欢乐的片子。小马儿银幕首秀还不错（或许是本色出演？）希望以后有更多的拍戏机会
就，隔段时间，总要出来几部“这明星为啥要接这电影”的片子，这句对Jlo和Owen均适用
虽然不相信真实娱乐圈top级别里有这种人美心善的白莲花但还是祝兜兜转转和大本重修旧好的JLo能够be beautiful and happy ever after.
这跟糖果人有毛线关系？在当今极端政治正确大行其道的今天，只要见到个黑色皮肤的都是好的、只要是白色都是坏的，全片恨不得连黑猫都是受白猫压迫充满愤恨的正义使者，就好比你能想象孟买猫被布偶猫奴役几百年吗？这个电影完全歪曲了原作和初版糖果人的意义，沦为政治博弈的一片羽毛和黑人自high的zw电影，自high就自high吧，还非要蹭老IP和篡改经典，为了黑命贵脸腚都不要，顺便黑一把黄种人，恶心。
