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.

爽点在最后20分钟，但如果让男主最后看着自己的肉被吃掉应该会更爽
亲身经历过这段疫情的我，依旧毫无代入感。过于政治正确#三胎什么时候都不晚#
一个半小时之后的反杀 i dont need that shit
靠女主颜值强撑50分钟弃，就不停水剧情，还毁我冬兵。无论变态还是恋爱的酸臭味都不适合他。
一星半。其实并没有那么无聊，我对这种恐怖或者惊悚片就算极其套路极其模式我也看的挺乐呵。可能因为这些类型的片对于我才是打发时间的🍿片的缘故。
也就打了二十个哈欠吧，塞包不适合这种角色，女主眼睛像安妮海瑟薇
有点儿失望，情节发展的有点太简单了，很多情景太笼长
人在影院 看了一个半小时 如坐针毡 只能说非常后悔
穿着恐怖片外衣的“远离渣男”宣传片，看得出来导演的视听语言确实精湛，很多大胆且“新鲜”的段落带来了远不同于同类型恐怖片的观感。但是，这个剧本吧…前半个小时简直就是从《故事》里跳出来的“把类型常规拍成陈词滥调”的典范，后面的情节确实极尽恶心，但戏剧冲突也不是很强，翻来覆去就那么些事，剧本不够视听来凑了属于是。最后二十分钟的“反击”桥段简直不能更出人意料了，而且都2202年了，怎么还有人在恐怖片里干掉反派不补刀啊，怎么还有人单独行动啊…我真是服了😤两星半，不能更多了，不过导演水平还可以，换一个好本子应该能拍出点东西。
她们哭过、痛过、努力过、挣扎过、奋斗过，她们笑着走向未来。
可以只看最后20几分钟，塞包又秀了一下他的身材
人人都有弱点，和食人魔谈恋爱是一种什么样的感觉？优点：女主可爱，笑容很治愈；缺点：除优点之外。
2021都最后一天了还浪费我珍贵的两个小时，能赔我吗
不惊悚，也不恶心，从男的打包肉的状态能看出他有点洁癖，女主屁股肉被割了一会儿趴着一会儿又能坐着，举手投足间对男主还是情分难了的样子，可能因为塞巴斯蒂安实在太帅了吧。
完全临摹《逃出绝命镇》，只不过把社会隐喻从种族迫害换成了女性剥削。不够“新鲜”，反而是文艺手法包装下非常套路的猎奇惊悚片，小清新都市爱情到重口味烹食人肉画风突变，经历半小时冗长铺垫才进入正题，中间稀碎的叙事节奏让人提不起劲儿，许多点到即止的无用细节可以精简。男主斯文伪装下的变态癖好、下药囚禁、闺蜜上门调查被抓、包括最后见过无数次的逃脱反杀，所有情节转折都在预料之中。最可惜的是，导演本有大把可供继续挖掘的点，却选择了一个最为稳妥平庸的结局，设定沦为强行匹配这个故事的噱头，深度和爽度都没做好，还不如彻底放开剑走偏锋。电影在血腥暴力程度方面还是偏向克制，一丁点也没给人生猛刺激的感觉，倒是现实里或许真的存在这种地下黑色产业链条，细思恐极。
【7.5】（太久不看小烂片由此对其产生奇特的喜爱之情...）“解说重灾区”类国外流媒“网大”，题材老套无新意，处理方式蛮亮眼，精致包装下是资本的疯狂隐喻与一贯的政治正确，风格在恐怖片里是既轻快浪漫又紧张刺激，会让人忘记自己在看变态题材，同时也能算在爽片范畴，适合和朋友一起在闲暇时间图一乐看。
也就打了二十个哈欠吧，塞包不适合这种角色，女主眼睛像安妮海瑟薇
2.5星！贾玲不配拥有一个男友吗！？有些片段太刻意，太矫作了。
固然电影并不十全十美、高大上，但是，作为观众，很爱看剧里女性角色的笑脸。
