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.

旺达这个巫婆怎么能这么厉害(o^^o)
看的5GB 720p版本 看完只想说一句 还我旺达我谢谢你
很好看，恐怖片导演为影片注入了不一样的灵魂. 卷福帅出天际
剧情我… 旺达全片最美 僵尸那块很帅 英国队长我真的要笑死了太弱了哈哈哈哈哈哈
雷米风格好强，pg13的血腥程度之最，有山姆·雷米的地方就有布鲁斯·坎贝尔
剧情还行，不算太拉，但也有硬伤。
7分吧，视觉效果比较流畅；但确实是没有啥逻辑
这不是多元宇宙，这是魂穿。而且这是恐怖片吧
相比近年其他漫威电影剧情确实有所进步，比较新鲜，旺达就和闪灵的精神病一样，亡命杀人狂
【YVR-5th】个人而言，是漫威宇宙最重要五部甚至前三部的电影。这种重要性体现在类型片的选择和表达上。当然了，超英片有的问题它都有（故事逻辑，战斗力混乱），该有的彩蛋也有（新的人物介绍，继续拓展宇宙边界），但不同于以往乖宝宝一样的导演执行，这次能看出Sam Raimi（毕竟大导演呀）的个人风格 鬼玩人。随着第一代演员的离去，越来越多对续集电影的排斥和对超英片大同小异的指责，这时候漫威能拿出一部这样的作品（当然，奇异博士不是它们的王牌），就算有试水的嫌疑，也是值得表扬的。而且wanda的支线和自己的电视剧连接紧密，大呼过瘾；而哪怕没看过WandaVision也不影响理解。支持
一如既往的没有引进，似乎钢铁侠一死，那个本该链接我们宇宙的mcu就消失了，取而代之的是一个妄图侵略我们宇宙的一个不合理混乱又混沌的多元宇宙，这大概是重启宇宙以来mcu最为黑暗邪恶的故事，所以说“知识是人类进步的阶梯，书中有一切”
惊悚元素比較多，整體看不差，卻也不會印象深刻，偶而演技和情節會像青少年奇幻電影的形式令人覺得不像現代marvel （可能主題是巫術和魔法，很難正常詮釋）
漫威电影宇宙第四阶段终于支棱起来的一部。逻辑合理，叙事流畅，在越来越复杂的角色背景中承接过去与未来，用恐怖片的手法呈现（比隔壁DC温子仁的海王处理得更好）。绯红女巫真不愧为欧米茄级别的变种人，无论惊奇队长还是至尊法师在她面前也只是个杂兵，最后也没有被打败而是被劝服。
风格确实有所突破，但是结尾还是过于套路化，奇异博士的戏份和存在感被抢去的太多
4-
今天和Shinki 一起看的，中途快要睡着了
果然是导演的风格，旺达的形象确实杀人如麻。奇异博士远程控制丧尸奇的时候，百鬼噬身的特效如果是用来拍仙侠片就好了。
笑死 僵尸博士vs猩红女鬼……可以是一个恐怖片
更像是猩红女巫单人电影，或许这一点有加分…但是2022年了还在暗暗地「呼唤母性」，不免过于陈腐，只能说比别的漫威系列有趣一些。3.5/5 @ mk2 bibliothèque
虽然看出了恐怖片的赶脚，但逻辑太强让人信服哈哈哈哈哈
