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.

你不说，我会以为这是小组作业……这玩意没有到二分都对不起国产烂片……
结尾强行降智被反杀就离谱 女主又美艳又狠心 我想她赢ㅠㅠ
套路就是美国的《恐怖鸡》，但气氛演技都远不如，唯一加分的就是女主的颜值身材。
滑冰去……战斗 比较新鲜 战争题材的片子 胜就胜在除了枪和子弹 冰刀也是武器 最后想说 母爱无限
2.男主有点蠢
小成本虐杀片，画面十分廉价，弗兰克格里罗在一小时才出场，却在海报上的前位。
大俗套，也算惊险了，演员男女都是身材颜值在线，可以一看。
劳米拉佩斯和网飞继《猎杀星期一》、《在糟糕的日子里》后的第三次合作，依然是她擅长拍摄的动作电影。而且本片是劳米继《千禧年》三部曲（龙纹身的女孩）时隔多年后再度回归她的家乡瑞典的电影。
这不是Funny Game 反杀版嘛还有 两大美女帅哥加持，上6.9没毛病啊，给你回回血。比什么开心毒花强吧
剧情连个主题都没有，全片也都是黑漆漆的绿幕特效。这算是拍到哪里就算哪里，交差骗奈飞钱的恐怖末世公路片么？
前半段挺好的，后面拉胯，女主太漂亮了多一星给她
最后20分钟完全多余，何必最后硬生生给个结局呢？拍续集不好？
15-59美国《支离破碎》
末日题材却没有具体的核心目标，前面似乎是科幻冒险，最后却变成个体对抗「环境」/「制度」，只感受来自创作者的泄愤情绪，显得糊里糊涂又无济于事。
变态女杀手可以独自美丽啊，为啥要有个变态继父，最后因为心软还被反杀了，烂尾差评警告⚠️
橋段老套的小成本電影🎬，全靠女主角的青春美貌苦苦支撐，看了一小時後放棄。
女主颜值超高，直接做男主女友就好啦搞的命都没了
虚构战争背景下的战争片+公路片。这种故事最重要的是如何结束，而本片的结束就太过仓促和随意了，不要说提升主题了，连明确主题都没有做到。但如果把本片定位成动作惊悚片的话，那动作和惊悚两个元素都缺失太多。可以和俄罗斯的《科拉深孔》对比着看一下，就知道气质上缺失太多了。Netflix 电影现在开始被大数据给带到沟里去了。
老套的仙人跳情节，女主角实在太漂亮，莉莉·库拉格，多打一颗星。
