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.

这他么就是拍出来挨骂的吧？浪费安志杰这种武力型男了
其实不盲可能更好看，没必要非要个盲人来当卖点，我就说女主像谁，就是小丑女啊
菲拉萌真的太可爱了，滚起来就是一个甜甜圈，可可可爱爱萌萌哒！
杀破狼·贪狼的壳子下套进了夜魔侠和小丑女，感觉像AI写的剧本。剧情跳跃太严重，导致节奏不规律。服装道具倒是不错，动作戏能看。
孩子原本是不愿去看的，结果看得很开心😃
枪战和动作算的上网大里的高水平 故事是一言难尽的配不上。
一般还行，那只狗狗串通了整部剧，挺好玩的还是个反派
如果不是安志杰我都不会点开来看。
故事情节比较简单，寓教于乐，能让家长和孩子共同沉浸其中。
我居然觉得这篇好看，虽然漏洞百出，但是就是帅
一星给女主，其余完全不能看，动作戏毫无速度和力量感，明显摆拍的痕迹，画面也缺乏质感，剧情更是傻得一逼
剧情毫无逻辑，想到哪拍到哪。也是有不少降智操作。安志杰好不容易演一次主角，还给人家用配音。《觉醒年代》里饰演易群先的那个小姐姐在这里演的那个反派还是挺有看头的，以及安志杰的身材相当的不错
感觉导演对女性有偏见，两个女主演，一个毫无人性，另一个只有完美与哭嚎两个面目。观影感受不好，尤其后半段，常有女性痛苦的嚎哭声。好容易出来个搞笑探长，戏份还有点少。
把噱头这事搞好也算挺有本事，但坏人都非要用哈气音讲狠话，一下子就让逼格很低
这他么就是拍出来挨骂的吧？浪费安志杰这种武力型男了
很美式的中国动画，居然没比一只渡渡鸟了解历史，跨物种恋情，居然还能有后代
还好的甜甜圈很萌又新奇，最可爱的反派小狗狗也个小戏精。小恐龙也超级可爱，还有一些小贱的笑点
比较轻松愉快的电影，让我比较心疼的是白颂德的经历，如果人们对某件事情有过多的偏好，而社会又忽视另一方，可能就会导致不公和心理阴暗。像白颂德这样，没有菲拉萌的世界他才能活，才能避免被免费的赠送，那更多的是社会要关注的问题。而且菲拉萌仅仅是因为可爱就获得很多喜爱，有点像鼓励当下追求容貌的环境，如果可以体现多一些菲拉萌的努力和优势，立意会更好。
给安智杰4星，给那两个男女扣10颗星，女反派演的跟傻逼似的！其他人演技太尴尬了！肯定是导演不行！
说回剧情，这个因为多年前下令进法院救人质，结果眼瞎了，还因为误杀了她男友，与女杀手结下根，多年后女儿参加表演，被绑架，越狱的女杀手骗取他信任联合一同找女儿，实际报仇自己的敌人麦昆犯罪集团，最后女杀手身份被揭开，搏斗一场，好在故事尽善尽美的结束了，整个片子打斗爆破很多，并不假，是让我没想到的
