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.

毒液怎么像个婆婆一样，哈哈哈哈哈😂管家婆毒液小可爱
汤哈迪+筋肉触手=辣上加辣！这个超辣套餐真是狠狠戳中本淑女一些点，我的理智飞走只想被他按在地上摩擦🥰作为漫画cp粉，总是对小两口的感情戏有更多期待，希望下一部再多些争风吃醋吵架和好互诉衷肠的恋爱日常。沙滩落日我爱你，不接个吻合适吗😿（ps：居然还有二册客串）
這簡直就是輕快愛情喜劇！最後竟然還發展成了亡命天涯雙雄模式which is 我永遠看不膩的老梗。湯姆哈迪好辣好辣🤤客串的二冊好俊美啊！

我觉得没辣么差……爆米花电影的话还凑合，彩蛋不错，风格大变，造型太颓，剧情更是算了吧……
推翻牛顿定律，重新定义“杀戮”。前八十分钟：这样还没摔死？后十分钟：就这样摔死了？属于伤害性不大但侮辱性极强的那类电影。
11.7 完全不着调，PG分级见不到一点暴力，80分钟“剧情”真的只剩下俏皮话，为了迎合观众干脆把反英雄变成狗血情侣，隔壁詹姆斯滚笑掉大牙了好吧
小两口过了蜜月期，发现对方各种生活习惯没法忍，吵架闹分手，在前任的帮助下决定要合体阻止反派花式秀恩爱，趁反派原配和新欢闹矛盾的时候一举翻盘，最后幸福的生活在一起。下一部是小蜘蛛第三者插足吗？
短平快，干干干，丝毫不用过脑，毒液绝对漫威良心了
关键时刻还放了一把火😂
男男爱情故事，还好女主有主了否则跟上一部一样三人大战真是不忍直视。这部的爽感和叙事继续双双下降，如果不是冲着Woody我真看不下去他那丑恶的发型
继承了第1步的嘴炮，但是没有继承其他优点。故事也是炒冷饭和第1部都差不多，反派屠杀智商堪忧。片长也略短，感觉只是讲第1部没有讲完的故事。或者说应该是第1步的后半段剪辑出来的。直到看到片尾彩蛋哇才知道了这部影片的意义，小蜘蛛终于要现身了，是要和MCU对接了吗？
这剧作放在漫威里也属于不及格的程度，不如把重心放到床头吵架床尾和的同居生活上。
片子像个半成品 太吵闹呱噪 难道都靠彩蛋活着？
不是太喜欢。感觉是为了写论文而写论文，写论文不是为了说清楚一件事或一个道理，而是为了交作业或赚钱。🤷♂️
《毒液2》像极了一部特效精良的B级片，可以说跑调跑的十分厉害。时长短，故事烂，没营养的废话极多…除了磕就是爱情，哪还有点惊悚动作片的样子。
汤老师和毒液都好蠢萌！可爱的不行！就让靠谱的目。安妮和靠谱的丹在一起就挺好！！汤老师只配跟毒液基友CP绑绑牢啦！反派也好看！
好在没有一个讨人厌的元素，尤其是片长都这么友好。
倘若漫威与索尼这场公开媾和能够被具象成色情片，也定是无聊透顶的全年龄向。
荷兰弟番位搞这么靠前 整天吐槽小蜘蛛蹭铁人爸爸热度 毒液这插科打诨的老厚脸皮又是在干啥呢
