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.

大雪封路，深夜围聚，以为是一出致敬阿婆《捕鼠器》的作品，没想到只不过是一部粗劣的狼人杀。狼人蠢钝，但预言家接连查出两匹狼，但怂着憋了好长一段时间不爆出来，女巫死掉顺带毒死猎人，最后还是狼人自己蠢死。整个剧情就一个字：蠢。
警察必定便当定律，有点麻了。开放式悬念集大成者，设计密室推理并不难，设计单纯的血浆追杀片也不难，难的就是把这种观众全知视角、部分角色有限视角的悬念尽量延长，譬如《悬崖之上》
看到开头陆续给出的密室和困境，我自以为是的想多了，其实还是一个小成本的犯罪题材，只不过把这些元素都加进去以后让情节比较相对饱满罢了，不难看，各个环节，逻辑包括演员，特别是女主的表演都很不错，当个周末沙发电影还可以
22_048。挺好看的啊，虽然就是三星爽完就算的电影但私心加到四星了，喜欢这种女生为主角展现的是强悍灵活而不是等着被人救或只是负责尖叫或露点的电影。反转得也不错。
女主很在线，脑子很清楚，这件事告诉我们，不要相信陌生人。后半截节奏乱了，有些拖沓。
7分吧。虽然剧情和动作都跟闹着玩似的，不过还挺欢乐的，
挺有意思的，打斗的场面有点港片的感觉，尤其是后面大混斗，跟成龙快乐屋有点像
从演员到布景到后期，感觉制作方很穷，另外，这是要洗白吸毒行为吗……
像在看十几年前的惊悚片，暴风雪作为背景也没惊险到哪里去
意外的不难看，嗑药太猛了，警察又被渲染得很拉了。
本来一个“暴风雪山庄”的经典布局，我是很喜欢这个类型电影的。可电影找凶手和反转都不是很到位，惊悚氛围也比较随意敷衍，不是很好看。
整部电影小女孩就是个工具人，只要开口说话，就是大逆转哈哈哈哈哈。女主嗑药威力如此巨大？？？这个价值观不太对吧？几个人演技也很粗糙，保姆网上认识的人就直接合伙？？？浪费我时间。
非常好看的爽片，女主全程智商在线，剧情没有尿点。虽然结尾反派还是死于话多，但是对于一部犯罪惊悚片又是正常程序。对比 cop shop 更真实，人物性格塑造更丰满。
少见的小成本悬惊悚佳作，半封闭环境下的亚裔女主智勇斗悍匪，全片节奏紧凑，逻辑合理，观赏性娱乐性俱佳，三星半值得一看。
作为爆米花动作喜剧还过得去，凯文哈特和伍迪哈里森再加大爆炸佩妮的组合还挺有票房号召力的，但还是想看看如果按照郭达斯坦森的设想拍成R级片，会不会更好
其实还可以但知道被绑架的小孩那么讨厌之后觉得太不值了👋
竟然有点小惊喜(刺激)，虽然只是小成本制作。电影中至少两个地方看的我非常揪心，一处是邪恶翻开了自己最后一张底牌瞬间扳回局势，一处则是。。。(咦，看着就痛)，总的来说是周末非常不错的消遣电影。这应该也是我第一次在这类美国电影中看到使用了Chinese作为The Final Girl的设定，而女主也确实演的不错，同族裔加成，那再给一个星吧hh
tall dark scary先生在餐厅那段挺有意思，硬汉也可以这么温柔
挺好看的呀，求生欲拉满后战斗力爆棚，智商也ok。女主和父亲感情一定很好，艾什以为她父亲的事会刺激到她，殊不知反而在给她增加求生值。
女主又是个狠绝色，小成本，够暴力。没什么大bug，下饭片
