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.

温子仁的创意总是很惊人，一个以实体方式寄生于女主身体内的反派，比纯精神分裂来的更令人毛骨悚然。除了部分剧情用了恐怖片老套路，总体气氛挺到位的。结尾就让我有点想不通了，女主怎么就突然觉醒了？我还以为女主要跟怪物同归于尽呢。另外最近的两部温氏恐怖片都已经走上“气氛+解谜”模式了，真正的超自然很少了
雷米我不原谅你😭你不看《旺达幻视》就把旺达拉进来😭👊就算当时旺达幻视没拍完，你不能问问对方的导演和编剧他们想表达的主旨是什么吗😭👊👊👊
再多买两块钱Disney的股票 希望以后这种越来越多
首先，不得不承认漫威强大的执行力。在后期如此混乱的前提下还能补救出一部十分具有娱乐性的电影，不知比跟钱有仇的华纳高了多少个档位。
我清楚的了解到
旺达连X教授都轻松杀掉了，真牛。你都已经能靠头脑随便修改现实了，为啥不给自己再想个老公孩子？
旺达美如画，但电影依旧让我再一次体会到了看复联4的憋屈感，漫威真是完全不在乎角色的连贯性，为了推进剧情就硬改设定。明明旺达在WV里最后都走出来了，这一部又开始执迷。此片又和杨紫琼的多重宇宙电影前后上映，说实话，杨紫琼那一部好看多了。
补标
温子仁恐怖片又开始走血腥虐杀路线了，毕竟是拍过速激、海王的，动作戏拍得超帅气，杀得过瘾。一定要看完整版。
但还是佩服她梦想成真
不算恐怖的悬疑片，温子仁靠视听营造氛围的能力依然是T0级别，空间转场和谜底揭晓都伴随着很漂亮的视效。可惜推理过程敷衍，结尾略显简单，不然就是年度最佳horror级别了。
meh 为什么要把花八集塑造的角色拿来当反派 好多jump scary
2.5。观影过程中一度期待的点是温子仁如何把“意念杀人”带来的恐怖效应发挥到极致，即便现实逻辑性部分无法自圆其说也无所谓，毕竟《潜伏》也好《招魂》也罢也都不能从故事根本上解决这个问题。但遗憾的是回归图穷匕见的解谜部分还是尝试着用试图解释一切的叙事方式构建视听语言，这就导致前面苦心经营的悬疑氛围和恐怖情境都被后面索然无味的血浆虐杀戏所彻底取代，生死关头依靠亲情关系完成反戈一击的桥段更是让人轻松回忆起《招魂1》未能解决的结尾问题。放在今年一通乱拍加延续IP炒冷饭的一众恐怖片来看，这部完成度还算可以。至少以悬疑部分支撑起来的前半段算是半部好戏。
恐怖片不讲逻辑就一点都不恐怖了，我只觉得他们吵闹，又扯。
本片的杂烩性体现于它暗戳戳指向美国社会难以治愈的“癌症”，即美国家庭当中的家暴问题。抛弃剧情人物内在逻辑性的乖张、马马虎虎，影片在惊悚、恐怖感上，还是制造了观影氛围的。作为强类型恐怖片，完成度OK的。温子仁作为华裔演员，在影片当中使用东方面孔的表达，天然带上了一些新移民与种族的基因，尽管它不是位列于凸显位置上，但也形成影片的视觉元素符号。影片最终将诡异、离奇，坐落回医学上的畸形儿设定，为恐怖故事找到现实根基，虽然它那么不可令人信服，但好在导演细腻的铺垫，能够自圆其说。关于“双面连体”的设定，似乎指向了自我意识觉醒，两种意识间的抗争，力量此消彼长。是否隐喻个体自我消失，与探索自我另一可能。显然这个高概念设定，脱胎于“双重人格”设定，后者表现较佳的影片是《四手联弹》，给我留下深刻印象。
3. 我希望这部电影能有奇异博士自己的故事，而不是整几个僵尸造型就是“黑暗”。这个系列电影院看确实很爽，但是自从复仇者4完结以后，简单的打架爽显然已经不能满足观众阀值。
娴熟的摄制工艺，好听的歌曲，精致的动漫和舞台演唱完美结合，高清的画质，在家来一场美美的视听享受。 8.3/408
Billie的二专让我爱上她，不愧是被格莱美一大群老头看上的00后，品味确实好。
我出息了！我没开好运来看完了未删节版！孩子长大了！非常喜欢这种血腥的惊悚片~
失控的寄生兽。悬念不强，女囚那段戏挺百老汇风格的，有种打着打着就会唱起来的错觉。拍摄水平很高，剧本普通，妹妹算是人设小亮点，和警察聊灵媒太可爱啦！姐姐最后上法庭会怎么判啊，感觉能扯皮好几年呢，有罪无罪会吵起来的。（完整版1：51：33）
