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.

简单说下剧情：五湖四海、五花八门、五申三令、五颜六色、五彩缤纷、五脏六腑、五马分尸。
太喜欢这种诙谐的血腥片了hhh
爆笑如雷，谁曾想到有一天手撕鬼子能在超英片里发挥巨大作用，除了对老鼠恐惧症，密集恐惧症和血浆恐惧症的观众不太友好以外，总体来说简直是这个夏天最解压的爽片，哈莉实在美炸了！尤其是出逃那段全片最佳！对唯一横跨漫威和DC的滚导致敬，看了第一部几乎不觉得这系列能被救活，没想到那么棒。滚导可真的是个集合了邪恶与天真的恶童鬼才导演呐~希望还能继续两边都拍~~
没想到超级无敌的巨型海星居然是被卑微到尘埃里的老鼠大军给毁灭了。大海星临终前说：我也曾幸福过，自由漂浮，仰望星空。老鼠们说：我们都生活在阴沟里,但也会仰望星空。PS: 鲨鲨好萌，小丑女好飒！
年度最佳爆米花电影 这是一个老鼠拯救世界的故事 num num
4分。一部相当成熟且精彩的爆米花电影。导演的风格贯穿其中，那些复古感十足的歌曲给这部作品增添了放荡不羁的自由感，核心角色的个人形象也十分出彩，尤其是哈莉。至于剧情嘛，其实挺套路的，但胜在好看，真的，就是好看，不拖泥带水，该打就打，该杀就杀，甚至有些我以为会活到最后的，居然猝不及防就死了……
电影院二刷。第一遍：IMAX版，第二遍：普通版。不得不说，还是IMAX版比较爽。我他妈就喜欢这种血腥暴力B级爆米花电影。
Amazing！这才是我们想看到的不同于漫威的超级英雄电影嘛！够血腥，够暴力，战斗场面花样层出不穷，几乎每首配乐我都喜欢。用不多的文戏塑造了鲜明的人物形象（可爱鲨鲨需要朋友、血腥运动的女儿），甚至还有一定的政治因素。当然当然，小丑女哈莉奎茵奉献了最华彩的段落，华丽且疯狂，试问谁不会爱这样疯批的小丑女呢。真的好久没有看这样流畅风格独特大制作的商业片了，整个人看完感觉太棒。9/10
而且最几把烦这种拿尺度做噱头充个性的娘炮，给人的感觉就像现在满口脏话却偷偷运营微博的说唱歌手，装冒犯装好装一根筋让人觉得实诚我觉得这他妈永远是真媚俗。
可以看到银河护卫队的影子。故事零散，像是好几个不同编剧一起凑的，笑点生硬。本期的可爱树人由大鲨扮演。鼠控妹纸和哈利在性格设置上有重叠。不知道是不是篇幅被强控的关系，剪辑上感觉砍了很多。
R.I.P. to that absolutely beautiful monster between your legs,
Typical Americans.hhh…充满娱乐性。2021最佳超英电影，也是最佳灾难片和最佳怪兽片，还是目前为止最佳的R级超英片。詹姆斯古恩被漫威压抑的恶趣味全开，简洁明快，直奔主题，贱汁四散，游刃有余，没有任何政治正确，时不时还韦神附体一下，带来惊艳的美学设计，充满游戏感和玩乐感，看得人又哭又笑。
挺精彩的，比较反类型，开头喜剧味还比较浓，越往后越体现DC黑暗的内核，最后故事发展地还很“Rick and Morty”。小丑女真是充满魅力的角色啊，摄影师都不忘多给几个镜头。外星人和鲨鱼都好憨憨。把intertitle融入场景还挺好玩的，暴力美学盛宴，还有点隐喻的意思，有点想看漫画了。
很好看！开头我在想这些人都是谁啊除了小丑女一个都不认识然后才知道……哈哈哈哈哈哈！结尾战胜派大星的方法真是没想到啊笑死我了！一个城市到底藏了多少老鼠啊！小丑女太好看啦美爆啦
太喜欢这种诙谐的血腥片了hhh
前半截全员烂人、五彩缤纷、煞是好看，中间一开始抒情就不行了。
7.5/10虽然节奏还是有点拉胯，不过笑点足，派大星也是有够无厘头了 21/08/06
大尺度，重口味，搞笑又有一丝温情，反套路，这才是反传统英雄的正确打开方式！又美又血腥！
北美最高排名：1
屎尿屁超英喜剧风格,看反套路终成套路~派大星都出战了还独白了
