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.

佐野勇斗在流星的光芒下都变得没那么丑了 说真的看你这个电影我不如去看BABA岚
喜欢这种小镇恐怖故事，还可以，没有太多强行作妖的安排
老套的剧情，催眠的节奏，几个演员除了女主真是不太能看，除了画面构图，简直一无是处。
神作设定，霸权番预定！（可惜真人版演技有点尬了，松田翔太+洼田正孝？
寄生虫好评（确实有被瘆到）
我是真没想到女同的结局这么黑暗，我还以为俩人一起赴死呢，结果死的那个把活的吃了然后自己活了美其名曰要永远和活的在一起，我一寻思，去你爹的，你这不还是自己活着吗？给自己的自私找借口呢😅
雖然橫濱流星這個造型有那麽點秋山深一平替的感覺。但橫濱流星的面部細節還是太漂亮了。這個髮色確實適合他，沒有什麼太大表情的時候也還是好看的。只不過在做嚼糖和吐舌頭的動作的時候面部太用力，就顯得很誇張很刻意很用力過猛。人物塑造得也不像城府很深的樣子。沒能瘋批到點子上。給人感覺他更像是那種誤打誤撞的二傻子。當然還有一部分原因是核心詭計太垃圾了。
化妆特效在进步，编剧行业在退化，浮躁的年代啊……拍个电影都这个鬼样子了。
3.5星吧，不过看到KANATA和流星又共演了，感动程度凑个4星。没看过原著，不过设定应该类似赌博默示录，不过个人感觉从赌博设计和破解来说比较低水平了。不过这部里银发的流星颜值真能打啊，而且还发挥了他的好身手。如果DD演技真的没法突破了，以后就专攻纯爱和动作戏吧，剧情片就…
如果“恐怖片”都不能算作恐怖片，那么什么能算作恐怖片呢？废话，当然是能吓人的片。
尬，横滨流星就是角度帅哥，角度不对的话，他那崎岖的脸真不行
还是挺不错的设定，恐怖情节与情绪也比较到位，只是结尾杀死弟弟有些残忍
有点夸张有点中二 不过是漫改好像夸张点也挺正常
为了秋秋看的，唯一被吓到是手机P图里的女鬼，牙医也还不错，别的比较平淡。
怪兽片，气氛足，最后一场戏是致敬《异形》续集吗？
一班班啦，无啥出众处，不过不知道是韩国人皮肤好还是咋的，个个脸那么水？包括男人？
原作应该也还不错吧为啥拍成这样…还有下一部？
忘记打卡了！可以说各方面都让人很意犹未尽......但是恐怖片不就是要尽兴才好嘛！
ps：女演员长的都不错！
《嗜睡者》。配角们也很要命，把横滨流星的演技衬托得仿佛都没那么糟糕了。
