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.

活成什么样其实是自己的选择，比如看这个电影，你可以选择当个为别人活的好妈妈，也可以鄙视妈妈的选择去为自己活。所以不用diss，见仁见智。
挺精彩的，也很惊险，还是花了心思和金钱来拍这部电影的，不是单纯低成本动作。可以推荐。就是最后结局感觉不够。
脱离了某些特定剧情和剧情相关设定，话唠属性并不适合所有角色。
和《丛林奇航》一样在各自领域里的俗套电影。
对美式话痨越来越审美疲劳。花大价钱请三个红牌，连雇一个优质武指的钱都捉襟见肘。比每一集007还多带我们观赏更多世界风光，可惜全是绿幕和棚景。
标准到不能再标准的偷盗片，我都不知道这是我看到的第几个彩蛋，第几个卢浮宫了。三个人看海报都知道各自什么人设，没头脑和不高兴，外加一个美女神偷，一个美女警察，网飞流水线越来越标准化了。
不难看，至少比007好看，就是有点太大数据了。不知道怎么形容，就是大数据AI剧本的感觉，人物设定、桥段情节甚至打斗场面都是经过精准计算放到该放的地方的。徐远翔如果还在阿里的话倒可以去向网飞取取经，当初那个淘汰活人编剧的理想没准真能实现。三个主演都挺喜欢，但在这部里基本各演各的，最后的反转就纯粹反转，为了这个反转刚有点看点的人物关系立马崩了，有点可惜，而且应该上大屏幕的
网飞的爆米花电影 十足的爆米花 所有元素都是老的 精密组合 连三人组都是那一套黄金配比 一个能打的大壮汉 一个嘴碎男二 一个魅力无穷的女主。看得出来是投了大钱 无论卡司还是取景都是花了钱的 但是有这钱拍个这样品质的流水线不觉得可惜吗。
挺烂的其实 全凭贱贱的一张碎嘴支撑 加朵也是自毁女神形象 没办法 他们给的实在太多了
三个主演闹了半天就为了三个蛋，还完好无损地一个都没碎......
“做什么不重要，人们觉得你做了什么才重要。”
Netflix原创电影就看个热闹和开心呗，贱、美、壮，一人一个角色分走，Gal Gadot和The Rock的chemistry很奇怪，只能说巨石和每个他搭演的女演员都没啥化学反应。
脱离了某些特定剧情和剧情相关设定，话唠属性并不适合所有角色。
虽然拼凑痕迹严重，很像大数据分析后算法生成的剧本和选角，但真的很好使啊！
情节拖沓，主次不分，强行反转，塑料质感。演员没有突破，剧情没有亮点，浪费了三个好演员
爆米花电影。你能信吗，在这部电影里，三个主演中演技突破最大的是加朵……强森十年来一个演技，Ryan从死侍开始，就被死侍永久附体了，演什么都一个样。（加朵太美太美太美）
呵呵，不好意思我们没有哭。完全是蒙钱的啊呀。我怎么感觉她的舅舅就像陈木胜拍动作片完全是一模一样！
毫无新意的流水线商业片，可拍可不拍，可看可不看
呵呵，不好意思我们没有哭。完全是蒙钱的啊呀。我怎么感觉她的舅舅就像陈木胜拍动作片完全是一模一样！
阵容强大的神偷盗宝片。故事俗套到毫无惊喜，bug一堆；阵容强大，就像宣传的，黑亚当、神奇女侠、死侍合体，也延续各自标签“特色”。也有意无意cos了碟中谍、勇敢者游戏、夺宝奇兵等。有个亮点，是模仿死侍那样，大量“吐槽梗”：不升级iphone 4、指纹解锁、学《侏罗纪公园》控制恐龙、“浏览器记录”、强森最好笑的：范迪塞尔试镜《猫》视频？真的……盖尔加朵笑起来还是美的，而且总有点要笑场的感觉。但有好多个镜头把他拍得很丑。
