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.

故事完整，色调相称，惊悚不够。
前半段克味儿很足，后半段又是民国怪谈剥削网大的主旋律。。。
开头和结尾的打斗很棒。
还有点感人。让我想起了前几天看到的一条新闻，一个非洲孩子天生就是三角头，他的亲生父亲让他妈妈把他杀掉。令人震惊的永远不是鬼，而是人心。不知道为什么真的很喜欢王真儿，觉得是很有味道的演员。
假……
从剧情来说，比第一部丰满，有悬念。大女主的胆识，破除封建迷信。最后有点硬拗，没有妖怪，只有得病的人被利用，最后人性的回归。一头一尾都死弟弟。
最后多少还是有被燃到了…掩盖了孱弱的剧情。
网大恐怖片能拍成这样，还不错，虽然结局有点草草，水猴子死的有点刻意，其他还不错，值得一看。
女主演技挺好的，有点被浪费了。
纯粹是看一下骨头社请来的各位原画师的作画了。
中间使用“黑鞭”逃跑的场景，仿佛在看日本动画版《蜘蛛侠之英雄远征》…….动画制作依然保持着高水平，但其他就没啥新意了。
我能想象到的最老套的剧情了，有些镜头我都怀疑是不是导演故意弄得这么老套的，三颗星全给到作画制作上，内容毫无意思，但是画面真的牛🐮。
三小强挤压了其他配角的戏份，全部沦为了背景板。骨头社的作画没得挑，但这个故事实在是太弱了。
故事完整，色调相称，惊悚不够。
两星半 故事有进步，美术很不错。尽管温情路线有些牵强，但还是挺受用。
克了，但没完全克。/王真儿：我的不知道第几个老公。
长镜头的完成度确实很高，看得出来经费很足，制作方面没什么问题，但和前两部剧场版一样，剧情还是很粗糙，尤其是细节方面（就比如boss战时洛迪从男主背后冒出来真的很突兀），不过这种作品仅仅只是为了赚钱做出来的，所以在细节方面没那么多讲究，反正硬燃就对了，效果还是很显著的，相信有不少观众都会被吸引，这部剧场版和前两部比起来更具美漫风格，感觉这部就是为了开辟美国市场做出来的东西，说得通俗点就是要赚老美的钱，不过这倒也能理解，毕竟在国内已经被封杀了，反人类作者自然要寻找另外的财路赚钱，这作者够恶心，能和骨头社合作算是它上辈子修来的福分
比第一部强一丢丢。拓麻都不好意思告诉别人我为了看这部电影给某酷充了一个会员......啊这该死的好奇心！
看完後疑惑的是一開始提到的第一位有個性的發光的嬰兒...一個金光的嬰兒在托盤上,周圍是長槍圍繞...看起來有魔法聖嬰的感覺?
女主神似贾静雯，长的蛮干净的，是因为村长造鸦片谎称有水鬼，编剧也能圆回来，韩栋就一点点戏份
