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.

D.B.的烂剧本，metal head情怀分给个三星
哈哈哈卧槽，玩尬的是吧
这不太像是金属的反抗精神，倒像是青春期的叛逆。不过最后的比赛曲确实挺炸，提琴竟然拉出了一种类似马头琴的杀气。
2022.04.10。重金属音乐爱好者狂喜，电影里学习清单上几乎都是经典 （War Pigs真好听！）🥰 Isis妹妹好美！哥特装带着电子大提琴出场帅炸了 ♥️ 最后现场表演好棒，调侃了贝斯手、Pogo、Ed Sheeran、Imagine Dragon，笑死。虽然囿于校园青春题材，剧情框架大概能猜到，但诸多细节可以看出制作团队的认真，开头片段扫过墙上一堆海报，每一帧都要停下来仔细看，太多经典 🎉 泳池Party里，Scott Ian、Tom Morello、Kirk Hammett、Rob Halford现身说法吐槽自己，笑疯了 🤣 表演曲目竟然真的出了音源，赞美
演员真是学会了架子鼓和大提琴哦 赞 国内这种电影肯定就各种替身了。最后的氛围感满分。杰登小时候感觉挺细长腿啊 怎么后来不长了 可惜了。男二这身材就是玩金属的人的感觉啊 胯好窄。女主最后的金属风裙子 可以可以。大提琴的金属feel很不错。这里的架子鼓比日常见到的高级，这种速度力量的架子鼓打起来 感觉像一场有氧锻炼，手腕 臂 背 腹 腿都有锻炼到HH
片尾，根据真实事件改编，历史上促成释放曼德拉的三位勇士照片出现的时候忽然热泪盈眶，为了自由，可以付出一切。
自由的代价太高了
我对重金属其实无感，但是这孩子鼓打得真好，女孩演技很赞
凯文真是个温柔的小天使，敲鼓时头发乱舞时好帅啊，最后的乐队大战曲目简直燃爆
豆瓣的评分是不是太迷信好莱坞了。这不是一部枪站片，在岁月静好的日子看这片子，或者会感到荒谬，可笑，不真实。但历史长河中，总有那些特别坚难的日子，珍惜当下的平静美好吧。 恐怖分子/自由战士？...🙂
非常非常青春中二cliche了 但讲的metal band故事加半星
鼓手打的不错，那套鼓也不错，国内奔着十万以上走吧，主唱片尾的那段solo挺好，然而除上述之外，片子不再有其它出彩的地方。音乐总体一般，完全比不了“重金属囧途”，故事很硬，还选了高中生作人物，整部片子不温不火，没多大意思，音乐也没多大意思。
男主看上去像个gay，但是又很man。早出生十几年估计没哈利波特演员什么事。女主天生一副拍文艺片的脸，必成大器。
还不错看！长发男挺神经的，自作自受，但是确实挺适合玩重金属乐队的！歌曲挺high！
Nflying大战Pantera，最后发现Nflying只是帅、不是人不好……Hunter太可爱啦QQ內内呜呜呜重金属的最后一个处男
自由的代价是什么？
Metal is taking the wheel.真的不该Finn来演吗＞＜！
“要用什么才能换来自由？”“everything”
SkullFlower确实是更好的名字。以及你们这样会让我误会架子鼓其实很好学……
挺好，干净利落，不病娇、不颓废，美帝高中生日常。主角们演技到位。
