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.

几版岳父大人都好喜欢，2022版重点是我的父母爱情和拥抱新型男子气概：支持欣赏自己的伴侣，甚至可以跟她姓哈哈哈～副线则是一如既往的家庭温情和移民新身份认同，加上一丢丢的亲家笑话～安迪加西亚和格洛丽亚埃斯特芬的巨星风范！老爸看到老妈穿上当年婚纱出来时那个表情就知道这婚是离不了了哈哈哈，很适合夏日合家欢的电影🎬

我觉得拍的挺精致的，没有常见印度歌舞，确实是另一番风格。以及，她的爱可以说出来，而你的不可以。
爱人→夫妻→炮友→兄弟→搭档→裂穴，挡不住的痒痒
故事紧接第一部，但是主角变了。
看了一半，看不下去了，感觉剧情没有起伏，就是闲话家常，可能是我心不静吧
简单粗暴，百公里油耗只需两个僵尸，节能环保
延续了第一部的风格，总体来说没什么突破，打戏更多了些。反派还是光头哥，但明显打算换主角，上一部的主角兄妹不但半场才出现，最后还特么死了？！！不能接受啊(◦`~´◦)
看开场以为是年轻导演结果并不是。色彩很印度，像打翻颜料盒却又不突兀实在是阿三强项。以为是造梦看下去却没有回避种姓、阶级、崇洋亲西方的同时却保守，讽刺的小细节不少，相比完全西化的米拉奈尔那代印度导演有自己的坚守。
我真的无语了
这个女的得瑟劲儿让我烦到爆炸，不过挺新鲜。
挣扎，聂鲁达不再写诗，情与欲的毒，点到即止无疾而终时，还会否给与我坚强。
血浆 暴力 机械僵尸 自爆僵尸 爽就完了！
要吹爆这兄弟俩了，有了本钱第二部玩出了真复古的cult味
情节紧张的间谍片，为了找出那个真正的叛徒……
剧情延续了上一部，但风格有所改变。没有第一部那么搞笑无厘头，但情节设计上也有些巧思。上一部的男女主兄妹俩本部苍老了许多，士兵的弟弟成了男主且成了颜值担当。
将欢乐进行到底，还是那个味儿，还是那个劲儿。脑控机械丧尸+丧尸动力系统杠杠的啊，得劲儿！
故事一般畫面還行，這種片爽就行了，但80多分鐘還有部分時間感到一點冗長
这超能力能传承啊，用得好就是控制精神+长生不死+力大无穷啊
应该叫新娘的父亲。 本以为是看怎么干涉孩子婚姻的故事，其实是孩子的结婚却影响父母放弃了离婚的念头。
