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.

2.5星！贾玲不配拥有一个男友吗！？有些片段太刻意，太矫作了。
先说优点吧，电影名和上映的时间点选的好，演员阵容强大，几个故事线之间的交叉衔接还可以。但真不太喜欢里面的强行煽情，还有跟热度的行为，中间好几次都想离席了，没有太多惊喜感，后悔在电影院看了。
太感动了，呜呜呜，疫情下每一个普通人的付出，真是因为有他们的付出，我们才能从那场疫情中走出来。
看完电影平复了好久，前面压抑了好久努力不哭出声，结果片尾叶老师的背影一出来，真的绷不住了，2021年的最后一天，哭过了也笑过了，疫情打不倒的是真情，穿过了寒冬，未来的日子是春暖花开，我们的福气在后头呢。
等奇异的晨光一旦升起，
中规中矩女性主义反杀爽片，不过还是挺爽的（。如果艾米锤演男主我能再加一星（不是
女主也太没有防备心了吧，这就是单久了的后果吗？喜欢片头出来的时间和字幕效果。滥用BGM，用得还很不好。恐怖氛围营造不佳。反派塑造得也不够恐怖，有编导的原因，也有塞巴斯蒂安演技的原因。Daisy的演技很棒。以为吃人会有什么隐喻呢，结果literally就是吃人，lame; 但看到后来才发现其实重点也许在男女主的“关系”以及对male fantasy的讽刺，可惜讽刺得还是太幼稚，不够deep。酒保临阵脱逃的设计很妙。Ugh, men. 反倒是反派妻子的设计不罕见。彩蛋才是真的恐怖。Crazy thing is, I used to so believe that love IS to give my entire self to someone else. It’s FUCKED-UP.
三星半。作为爽片来说很有诚意，但是爽片终归是爽片。整体桥段很像逃出绝命镇，放在各个配角身上的隐喻也很真实，不过粗糙感明显，形式比内容好，最后20分钟很爽但也很蠢。前20分钟完美，基本上perfect date只能来自于想吃你的人。
女子误入杀猪盘的故事（此杀猪盘来源于现实生活中，但女主一样是个恋爱脑：什么都跟男人说，速度发展极快，男人说什么都信），结局还算大快人心，三个姑娘反杀，虽然当中碰到了男主斯特哥尔摩的妻子两次阻挠。两个关注点：1“都是因为有你这种贱人，我们才活得那么艰难”。女性群体里不乏男性的支持者，帮着男性去屠杀同性。2有个小细节，女主在地牢里看杂志，里头有个Sami留言“看到这里说明他喜欢你，好好利用。继续战斗不要放弃。“Sami后面出现在受害者的墙里（带墨镜的姑娘）。PS虽然说这不是受害者的错，是施暴者的错，但还是要多加强自己的警戒心哪，同样的坑碰到女主的闺蜜，她还真不一定会上当。
看疫情下的武汉普通人的生活。太感人了，从头至尾。在来势凶凶的疫情面前，人们相互温暖，相互鼓励，在共同的努力下终于换来了武汉的重启，这个电影太有意义了。
比生吃好看，女主也好看，就是妻子那一趴到底是什么乱七八糟？
一点也不好看，也不紧张也不刺激，也没有悬疑。。。甚至感觉剧情有点拖沓，人物设定也没有太多公用，看了个寂寞！
中规中矩的娱乐电影，这个剧情真的很适合在抖音解说那种一分钟看完电影，其实剧情整体没有什么太大的创新，无非是讲了一个不要轻信陌生人的恐怖故事。槽点比较多，但是都算黑色幽默吧，384把变态这个角色驾驭的出乎意料的好。
Normal people的女主，winter soldier，懂？这电影有点一言难尽，好像想吓人又好像想搞笑，尤其最后bartender溜走的对白噗。每次看到这种电影都不寒而栗，以前我这么逍遥自在地旅行，却从没有想到有一天我或许就被抓走卖了或者分尸。女生在外面真的不要随便吃陌生人给的东西
居然真的是喜剧片，你别说脑里有那么一瞬间真的响起了“我们说好不分离，要一直一直在一起～”的BGM。就“吃人”这个题材还得是Julia来有意思，导演或许下部可以考虑一下拍个清纯的爱情片，“撕逼”前的那段跳舞拍得很有感觉
早知道是疫情片打晕我我也不进去看现在当事人就非常后悔 但是说实话比我想的好点了 没有那么高高在上 要是把高亚麟徐帆那一段富贵矫情过度生二胎宣传去了我愿意给三星/u1s1朱一龙有点惊喜/生活总得过
猎奇片，没有智商缺失的硬伤，也没有逃离绝命镇这样的剧情惊喜。
小菜一碟，吃ren肉还吃到了顶级西餐的水准，真的是……牛啊。相比重口味那些，这个清淡了些。故事也比较单纯美好。分低也能理解。
在近期的片里面，算还不错的。就是稍微有点点变态。
女主恋爱脑也没啥智商 纯属运气好吧！
