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.

为什么明明是很老的梗，台湾就可以拍的很好看
男女主都很一般的长相是优点，但这种片子在一起是常识，你让男女主同时误会喜欢别人干啥，偶像剧都不会这么傻缺，这部电影就是都知道自己喜欢谁，但都渗着，你们找虐，我只想过个甜甜的2小时，有问题吗，弯弯编剧意淫的过了。
各种怼脸拍的镜头还是挺正点的。跳看，母亲是恶魔没想到，接着捅死朴智炫能想到，她一脸惊愕。
这就是青春啊，为什么评分那么低。。。十五年前想到我应该会活着，但是没想到活着不如死了
母女关系（母职惩罚爱恨交织）、女性职场困境（在众多男性中雌竞一个女性岗位、怀孕生育成本）、媒体行业（冷漠达尔文）、精神疾病、社会新闻（单身母亲结伴自杀）
其实是7分 对比起来改编显得男女主角的爱情好磨磨蹭蹭 能不能快点戳破那层纸赶快一起？然后周兴哲原来才95年的😢我以为三十几了🥲 想说他的戏份其实不多诶 想看男主视角的故事 我觉得会更特别诶 他眼中的女主到底是个什么样的人
我真的完全过了看这种偶像剧的年龄了。周兴哲=林俊杰feat佟大为，而全片最动人的是刘品言的泪光。
恐怖气氛塑造的挺好的，这里千禹熙演技驾驭得很不错，觉得她更适合演那种神经质角色。虽然看过恐怖片的应该很快也能猜出这分离人格的谜底，不过影片叙事节奏松弛有度，所以还是能吸引人看下去。近年来韩影里算优秀的惊悚片了，集中惊悚，忽略悬疑部分，它就有4星hhh
工作，别给自己那么大压力，生活和生命都是自己的，就这么一世，善待自我。
韩版【黑天鹅】 千禹熙曾经以为能冲一下大花 现在感觉还是差一些 不过现在的环境下能有女主戏也不错
虽然看了一会儿就猜出来了，但是立意还是很不错的
男女主都很一般的长相是优点，但这种片子在一起是常识，你让男女主同时误会喜欢别人干啥，偶像剧都不会这么傻缺，这部电影就是都知道自己喜欢谁，但都渗着，你们找虐，我只想过个甜甜的2小时，有问题吗，弯弯编剧意淫的过了。
惊悚，比起悬疑更像社会。从「韩公主」到「坚持住」再到此作，千在聚焦女性困境的作品中点亮了越来越多的光芒。
算是比較常規化的韓國驚悚片，前半段故意迷惑觀眾但常看此類電影的應該從申河均的心理醫生出現就知道後續發展了，不過這算女主戲吧，申河均就是個工具配角
女主长得好像陈佩斯哦，不算好看但是不怎么讨厌，看起来丧丧的～男主太丑了太丑了救救 谁的青春长这样啊！剧情也挺狗血的，互相喜欢然后互相误会的剧情，还撞到别人向女主告白的场面，怎么可能啦。社长还蛮可爱的 呜呜。唯一的优点是这部电影的所有歌都很清新好听。
除了悬疑惊悚还在传递关于亲子关系和女性社会压力的幸福吧
瑕不掩瑜吧，片荒期间能出来这么一部能在2小时里不带任何困意看完的电影，还要啥自行车。心理医生是好是坏、妈妈到底做了什么，女主是否内心深处有什么秘密。观众带着这些疑问，被导演带进了一个类似小说版质感的悬念当中。而美中不足的是巧合、雷同设定太多，但不是有句话说得好，无巧不成书嘛！结尾有点拧巴，生生将残酷结局往温馨和怜悯上靠（剧中的新闻播报导向亦是如此），开头女人的“那个人”到底是谁，靠着猜测也基本知道了。潜意识与现实物像的联动虽然粗暴，但着实有效。总体来说，是一部初夏夜里一部难得的清凉。
刚开始还以为女主母亲为了女主的职业生涯杀了那对母女，结果又是人格分裂的梗啊。
韩版《黑天鹅》 女主妈妈才是真的老戏骨 出场戏份不多但真的可以抢走很多焦点感 女主眼神变化很棒 虽然剧情老套 但是演技值得夸赞
