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.

中规中矩的电影，比较有趣，但故事和剧版没有太多区别，整体还可以
哈哈，挺有意思的，结尾差点开挂但是又没有开挂，得到一个很有意思的结局。
虽然三俗，但是快乐啊，全程姨母笑，小汤圆可可爱爱，大马猴咸鱼翻身
剧情跟电视剧没什么突破，吉吉国王翻身农奴把歌唱成了主角，特意给他安排了个新女主。先靠女主发家，在虐一虐，最后反转大团圆。
这部电影也没有辜负年初赘婿带来的热度，虽然是搞笑的古装职场创业电影，但是影剧情逻辑和感情进展都挺合理的。
耶稣被附身，圣母变女鬼，神父强修女，魔鬼驱上帝，小心，梵蒂冈有内鬼
剧情轻松有趣，演员可爱，当轻喜剧还是不错的
还算是不错的，没有太差，但也没有太好，随便看看还行。
虽说是给这二傻子洗白，却没有强洗，比正剧好多了，保留了现代营销头脑放回古代的穿越精华，这个妹子属实不错，颜值演技都在线，这片子不值高分，但扛不住衬托……
很多笑点都很有梗，不知道是个什么宝藏编剧，感觉剧情编的也很合理，看得时候没发现啥逻辑漏洞。
思路上有几处亮点，一些魔鬼的造型也有新意。
这质量真算不上网大…就像电视剧里面拿出来了两集，最多算个番外吧
驱魔电影也算是浏览了一定数量，这样百转千回且又让人万分期待下一部的还是鲜有闻。对于笔者这样有明确信仰的人来说，尤为能体会内心软弱或者有隐藏罪孽在身的后果，内心因为那团罪孽而产生的阴暗面总会让人无法彻彻底底坦荡荡，但是，当有勇气直面自己的罪孽过犯，上帝就确实与我们同在。（上帝不与罪同在。）总体来说，是一部不错的宗教性质电影，期待疫情后的下一部带来更振奋人心的反转。
影评：看完电视剧版过来看的电影版，人物都是原版的，还是很不错的，然后也是借着第1部的剧情来演的。整个剧情还是可圈可点的吧，还是有一些不错的东西出来。女主角很像女版的宁毅，感觉也是穿越过来的，像什么闲鱼啊，这种想法还是很不错的。好像有个彩蛋，中间大聪明好像有背影出来过，还是很希望他能复活的。
这看上去明显是要把更好的段子和剧情让给第二季啊…
吉吉国王做主角，哈哈哈哈就可以了(≧∇≦)
[2021.08.30] 吉吉国王远走他乡找到了个外挂 还挺漂亮 顺便成就一番事业。照搬正传的一些梗和互联网概念略微牵强 整体还是比预想的好一些 香蕉和画猴挺逗的 官方吐槽最为致命
苏文兴这次真的崛起了哟，感觉电影让他作为智慧担当，这个人设还挺丰满的，三星给苏文兴，一星给漂亮的女主。
本身期望很低。反而感觉挺好。吉吉国王很出彩。
神父和恶魔的较量就是比赛谁更会骂街，吧啦吧啦吧啦吧啦语速快嗓门大就赢了
