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.

八年前的维也纳机场劫机事件惨败，机上所有的人都死了，如今男主奉CIA维也纳站站长的命令开始追查事件中的内奸。
悬疑倒是有了，但是不合逻辑，CIA要给俄罗斯点情报，也犯不着把自己的线人交出去，交换个嫌疑犯不是更好么？况且Ilyas怎么知道Henry在维也纳的，他们间谍不都要换身份名字的吗？
穿插着无聊床戏和回忆旧情的假悬疑片，想剑走偏锋地去讲述谍战片，却连故事也没讲好。派克船长最近接不到好片了吗？最近一部《承包商》也是烂得如出一辙 @Prime Video
题材还可以，就是情侣设置稍稍差点意思，不刺激
你以为他是悬疑片，其实他是爱情片。不知道为啥，我还挺吃这一套。最后的反转也是精彩的。不论男主还是女主，似乎都有一种“以为对方是小丑，其实小丑是自己”的反差。尽管豆瓣评分不高，但是我喜欢。
我觉得还好啊 绝对比普通流媒体平台电影的水平高吧
zzzq，非得给帅哥派恩安排个这样的女友～冤冤相报何时了，明明可以冤有头债有主，非得下这么大一盘棋～面包师傅脑洞也是开得大～
派派为什么爱演这种中成本的动作烂片？最近这部和承包商梦回10年代啊。派，咱要不拍完龙与地下城堡就潜心演些文艺片吧，你看那xxx都…
总体是一部好电影。
氛围营造的不错，故事的切入点和深刻性不错，但是各种回忆尤其是开头，还没进入正题的时候，显得混乱，各种阴暗叙事、穿插，让不习惯这种风格的人看的很难受，床戏全部剪掉不是问题。以及故事还是有比较明显的漏洞
一般般 不是谍战剧 小剧 比较无聊的剧情
CIA中年情侣，为爱智障引发的悲剧，一飞机的人做垫背最终救了她，她哭着回家抱娃……大段的对话，各种闪回拼凑整个悬案，表演尚可，整体平庸。
其实故事写得蛮好的，反转也挺自然的……男女主演技很好。面对这种结尾，只能说：一声叹息。。。
打着悬疑片旗号的爱情片。两个不太年轻的情报员（特工），因为爱，引发严重的劫机伤亡事件。8年后真相大白天下，原来爱人就会害人！这两演员看起来就不是一对的样子。特别是这女的，无法回应男演员勉强的深情。
这种题材的片子为什么要拍全果露点的床戏...没看明白结尾。男主自己做的为什么还要去查别人……
慢节奏悬疑片，结尾有两处反转，男主调查八年前一次失败的劫机事件，到底谁是内鬼，回忆整个事情经过，第一个反转，原来男主就是内鬼，第二个反转，男主是为了女主才做内鬼，悬疑氛围还可以，但是故事细节很一般，槽点多，6.2。和派恩上一部承包商一样，都是小制作，但卡司还可以，熟脸演员多，但导演不行，制作人是谁呢
我与烂片纠缠的一生…没人懂我有多喜欢看烂片然后在一星大军中贡献自己的力量 这该死的浪费时间的迷人感（笑 毛晓彤和杨玏是真的好磕 剧情也是真的梗住 总之我在一片“快逃”中义无反顾逆流而上 浪费了整整一小时四十二分钟看毫无意义的男女分手大戏🥰
看到第十五分钟我觉得它可能不是个甜甜的爱情片
只是眼馋Chris Pine的脸和身子..
剧情设计巧妙，有多次反转，可是吧，其他的就没什么新意了，属于不看也无所谓的电影。不过派的演技是真的棒，角色很有信服感
