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.

这一部作品是在探讨两性平等关係协调性与相处模式价值的地方。
导演还是安心当演员吧，完全不会讲故事，节奏和分镜乱七八糟，转场只会交叉溶解
烂俗爱情片配不上塔莉亚莱德的颜值，小姐姐还是多去接独立电影吧
talia ryder下凡演的青春片又是没有跳出公式的老生常谈，男主和她没有cp感，看到后面我已经完全不在乎他们要不要分手。
两星半吧~
话痨程度跟死侍有得一拼，cult程度也旗鼓相当，但是剧情比死侍拉跨。不如第一部精彩。
全片最精彩的都在开头半小时，无论是配乐还是场景，还是故事进程都是无可挑剔的，既展现了西部世界的生猛，又有属于自己的特色。
夫妻矛盾日益增加甚至大打出手，儿子有样学样终酿大错，看专家如何解读家庭环境对子女成长产生的影响，欢迎收看新一期的法治在线：家暴究竟是不是家务事？
前一个小时还能将就看看笑话，后半个小时烂破天
复古黑人剧，叭叭的挺费血浆，干掉你还要流着泪说是你逼的，黑人兄弟跟好莱坞学成了也是
没有字幕的黑人片子听得我难受… 美术设计很强 剧情嘛emmm
黑人西部片，好SB的设定，节奏莫名其妙，剧情又尬又装，口区
写太好了吧 那段白人套头套来复仇结果全灭的 干脆利索 风趣幽默 虽然种族话语是侧面描写的 但真的比很多大制作woke多了 女性角色写的很好 打戏也架构的挺聪明的 差评真的显示自己无知 以前西部牛仔也是有原住民和非裔人的
完全理解女主一开始制定分手计划并在最后仍旧遵循规定的原因，我其实还蛮赞同这样子的想法，这可能是理智型人的一个通病？但对于感性人而言这就能理解成不够爱或者是不敢爱，但其实每个理性人内心是很渴望情感，但投入感情对于他们而言是在冒险并且很害怕受伤。同时男主的爱面子的特征也是很写实了，确实是恋爱中的小男生，会把约会的一切都安排妥当，并认为事情就一定会按照自己的设想发展。
毒液2属于非常值得掏钱去电影院里面一看的电影，尤其是特效的设计非常多，通过大屏幕才能看得出它的魅力，毒液和埃迪的嘴炮环节也是我的最爱。
即使不到一个半小时也让人煎熬，不断地看电影还剩多少分钟，果然，好电影是不会让人觉得长的
这片子太酷了 无论从人物造型 配乐 还是分镜镜头的运用 都太合我口味了 每次出枪都那么出人意料 我认为这就是今年最佳西部片
漫威这波平行宇宙重启的开头几个故事都不咋地啊，看看年底的蜘蛛侠能拍成什么样吧。
这个分这么低不合理啊，难得的现代西部爽片。发现国内只要是黑人电影分就很低。节奏没问题啊，故事完整，配乐到位，打戏够爽。
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！！！
