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.

女主角就是个害人精over，还没那个大家都懂的台游吓人。有些地方渲染得挺恐怖的但你手持摄影晃来晃去我看不清啊！带着观众互动那一套倒是挺新鲜的，从贞子录像带到把这条消息转发五个群再到老铁们弹幕刷起来，我们真的相信传播的力量吗。被咒是增加恐怖感啊没想到因为这个被打低分，咋的如果电影最后说本片被开过光票房能破50亿？
不恐怖，倒是恶心。电影拍的好不好另说，心术不正，啥才华手段都救不了。诱导念咒的时候就觉得有问题，结局果然恶毒。导演鬼蜮伎俩，无论观众信不信，那种幼稚又险恶的心思都挺恶心人的。常言道 爱出者爱返,福往者福来，善有善报，恶有恶报，既然导演那么喜欢散发诅咒，那就让导演收到他所有诅咒反弹，包括他那什么狗屁小天使，厄运缠身，不得安宁，享尽一切痛苦吧~~~（笑死了，这破电影吐槽几句就有脑残粉跳脚了，私信攻击还拉黑，果然粉随正主，一样阴暗龌龊上不得台面）
宝宝们不用担心晦气，看盗版的大陆人收不到台湾的正版诅咒
由于惯性拉高心理防线，导致铺陈、惊悚对我来说似乎都无效用，非常淡定的看完了全片并且睡了个好觉。
有病吧，诅咒观众？！跟观众来这套，有劲吗？谁看谁倒霉？还连上你最亲的人？你拍这个片子是为这个？臭sb！咒你大爷？！这要是跟影院花钱买票看的，准得有人把影院砸了。
他们说 要拍好你的片 没有人爱华语片
评论区也过于恶臭了吧，且不论你们看的是正版或盗版，一股脑疯了似的诅咒导演祖宗十八代的人是真不过脑子，别忘了这是电影！
像是一趟催眠的旅程，一步一步深陷故事，但我果然不是一個擁有喜愛恐怖片體質的人。
谁说算计观众的不算英雄
拍得很有感觉，越看越有睡意。同样是伪纪录片，《灵媒》比它好太多了，在真实性和代入感上狂甩五条街。
有点慢有点碎片化，不过要饭还嫌馊啊？有的看就不错了
作为一个惊吓指数非常低的人，我快看睡着了……看到咒语反转那块就明白了立意，挺聪明，但拍快俩小时真的有点无聊，而且恐怖点和亲情点全靠台词直接讲出来的……道格玛95啊伪纪录片啊桌面电影啊互动沉浸啊，大概就是糟糕的当代艺术家必须是个艺术评论家的感觉。
打低分的说因为觉得晦气而打低分，可我想说巨婴观众是最晦气的！超多国外恐怖片有诅咒，没见你们说晦气，因为没文化认同感。这次来个有文化认同的，比较优秀的中式恐怖片，仅仅因为里面有诅咒这种营销手段和互动手法，就给人家打低分，不要太可笑嗷。难道看恐怖片图个吉利吗？
把艰辛留给电影，把温暖留给生活，请不要倒过来！
谁说看正版的才算英雄
评论区也过于恶臭了吧，且不论你们看的是正版或盗版，一股脑疯了似的诅咒导演祖宗十八代的人是真不过脑子，别忘了这是电影！
觉得晦气就打低分的弱智er 看来你们才是真的被下咒了
写实题材 窒息 无助 绝望 中间长镜头代入感强烈 jodie的表演层次丰富 (救命 她演技越来越棒了😝)
实在是亚洲人会害怕的东西集大成了
我被哪个骗了说这个没有昆池岩可怕的？………
