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.

2021看过最烂的电影有了😅 打两星纯纯因为题材和配乐吧。。。
挺好看的，拍得精致流畅，视听设计挺有想法，不满足的是没有展开说清楚吃人组织，还有关于史蒂夫的妻子到底是怎么回事等等问题没能交代清楚，女主反杀太容易。
前半小时可以全部删掉，剧情也没啥新意，尺度也一般，不值得浪费时间
咱就是说，没有剧本咱就可以不拍。电影拍成了电视剧，看的我是如坐针毡，如芒刺背，如鲠在喉，半个小时我就想走了，枯燥乏味，全凭背景音乐铺陈，一场大型的mv，靠着把哭戏层层堆叠来硬煽情，主角也不录制同期声，后期配音口型对不上实在尴尬，把疫情当时的纪录片放一遍都比看这片强，缺乏真实感的故事看的人确实难受，真没必要为了煽情把人写死，然后再让俩人在雨里哭，这对劲吗，这不对劲。
恶心恐怖的内容，经过隐晦文艺的呈现，以及魔幻的BGM，就能造就一部文艺片。
戏剧处理下的真实世界，男权社会的照妖镜，从头讽刺到尾，不是女导演拍不出来其中一些令人会心嗤笑的细节。只是导演意图有点太过明喻和直给，拍摄手法也偏爆米花和猎奇向，议题明确但实操空洞不够深入。
豆瓣标个「喜剧」害我以为是《忌日快乐》那种惊悚喜剧！一个爱上猎物的猎人被爱利用遭反杀的故事。要是用的是《绝命邀约》这个片名我可能都不会看了。
剧情一般，男女主还算养眼，不过看完了都没发现男主是巴基演的，真的差好多啊
不重口不血腥 吃完饭看这部的看见好吃的也不感兴趣 看了半小时才出现标题 整个片子太过于冗长 很冗长 前半部分谈恋爱倒是挺美好 后半部分可以看得出来男主动了心 恋爱脑不适宜当食人魔 要我说早点吃了女主不就行了 女主也是奇葩屁股没几天就长出来了 最后硬是凑够黄黑白三皮逃脱 实在没必要没必要
最后，这样的影片我能想到的、能够提供给目前信任环境越发堪忧的社会以社会价值就是，去好好对待和爱自己身边具体的人就是在保护自己。
台词写得好差，急躁又生硬。煽情桥段设计得稀烂，徐帆和高亚麟在雨中拥抱那段给我看笑了，尬得连贾玲谈恋爱都没救回来……浓浓的政治任务感+仓促的言情群像，纪实性和真实感做了等于没做（本来也做得不够），显得敷衍、轻浮和借题发挥。想着前年那几个月看到的新闻旧闻，看着武汉熟悉的车站街道，还是断断续续地掉眼泪，但有一半是愤怒于凭什么那些生死要被写成这样一个“故事”啊
先说优点吧，电影名和上映的时间点选的好，演员阵容强大，几个故事线之间的交叉衔接还可以。但真不太喜欢里面的强行煽情，还有跟热度的行为，中间好几次都想离席了，没有太多惊喜感，后悔在电影院看了。
在电影院担心大家浪费电影票钱 赶紧来打分了 别看🌹太煎熬了
种族的设置太刻意了，男主思想逻辑前后矛盾反差太大，不太贴合片名的立意，惊悚不够尺度太小。
虽然拍的不够惊悚，但足够有教育意义，女生们都该看看：恋爱需谨慎，不要被帅气的外表迷惑了。
我特么啥玩意儿啊，最后还以为能有个大boss，白铺垫半天。PS：无漏点，不用等。
穿过寒冬我们都会拥抱彼此，很温情的一部电影。爷爷奶奶和贾玲朱一龙这两对太甜了，全程姨母笑，看得人好想谈恋爱吧！
这个套路早就看过了，怎么看怎么觉得不fresh，不过开头还是惊艳到我了，三十分钟过后伴着被下药的迷幻音乐和特效渐渐浮起的字幕真不错，个人感觉血腥程度不够，汉尼拔比它强太多，反派还是那么天真地被美女反杀，也挺不出乎意料的。
大数据时代下，判断一个陌生人有无危险的办法挺多，反过来如果它在大数据时代几乎无踪可循，那基本可以肯定，它是值得求证的，或者是有潜在危险，或者几乎就是危险的。
反面教材大全：不补刀就想跑，赤手空拳小拳拳锤人胸口，拿刀不刺要害部位刺大腿，刺了一刀不补刀，刀还留在别人腿上给人送武器。
