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.

不知道这一圈人是为的啥，出门左拐左拐左拐再左拐就到家了？
就补完之后顿时明白了为什么几个月来问看过的朋友的问题：“李现究竟在这个片子里色不色”→他们听后失语的原因，帅哥滤镜尽因为稀烂的逼王式演技及全程配音台词摔得粉粉碎。故事本身就陈思诚唐探+“我要把宝贝献给国家”式中国特色古玩类型片水平，虽然不算俗套……吧？但为什么可以拍得这么难看，生离死别都像是密室逃脱（未有全国金奖的非直营店版本）的水平，纯粹浪费特效和一众老大牌的……演技？观感直到最后看到英皇后茅塞顿开，确实是那种老贺岁港片的味道，上次看这种片还是《澳门风云》series。2.5归2，走好不送。
人物行为逻辑存在前后矛盾的硬伤，根本立不起来，李现一直凹造型，葛大爷的表现也很行货，煽情也无必要。冲着马伯庸的原著看完了，弱三星。
适合做网剧，解谜是挺有意思，其他就一言难尽
补标三星半，原著小说浓缩到一部电影里，特效加持改编还算成功，最大的毛病还是原著揭秘的设计，很难不让人吐槽多此一举。特意凸现成双男主设置，但是药不然的声音尖尖细细太不贴脸了，葛优还是好笑，就是回忆部分煽情过度。ps:雷佳音的脏脏猫造型半永久了这是？
从火车站那场戏开始崩坏。然后所有情节都太无聊了。并且几乎没有任何奇观，挺失败的。光致敬活着没有用啊。不管是砖头还是佛头，都毫无重量感，演员表演的时候也不掂量掂量。。
好家伙，是反转，360℃反转的，有些角色演的还是有意思的，比如咏梅“武则天”转世找自己的佛头，比如葛大爷全程保持马邦德人设包括最后遗言说不完，整体来讲，节奏不掉，热热闹nao，
所以绕了这么大个圈子，到头来真佛头还是给了日本人？
可能我对这类题材无感吧 感觉就那样 现在国产这种电影都要加几句某某某依法处置字幕么
《純潔心靈逐夢古董圈⭕》：他逃他追，他插翅難飛……我佛了
两星半。解谜简直闹着玩。选角也不搭嘎，几个人各演各的。
就一下饭片。“开个会员周末线上看看还行，疫情期间跋山涉水去电影院肯定不干”的程度。
相当不错，情节紧凑不拖沓，各种谜题也简单有趣，雷佳音、辛芷蕾、葛优的喜剧效果都不错，看的很开心。 电影的时代感不说多出色，但是也足够了。不过最后那两锤子砸的真狠啊，就不怕把佛头砸坏吗，哈哈。
7，高于预期，觉得是马伯庸作品里商业化改编做得最好的，葛大爷戏感太强了，每句台词都是笑点。
全程被猜到的即简单又扯淡的各种悬疑点，全程一般到不能再一般的剧情，普通的商业片，勉强的合格，2.7
没打三星是因为浪费了如此好的题材和原著基础，导演想放的东西太多，一看编剧一栏，好家伙，有6个。难怪在观影过程中总感觉是一个个片段拼接起来的半成品，支离破碎没有完整性，服化道具感觉也是草草了事，建议看电视剧版本。
七分，可以一看的及格电影。
有点无聊，电视剧没看过，电影更觉得很平淡。
话说你爷爷就那么确定人家会把国宝给你送回来，还会指定要你的后人来长眼？
改得乱七八糟，影版的许愿和药不然比起剧版差的不是一星半点，不是指演技而是适不适合角色。
