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.

冈萨雷斯好美，老吉眼睛好好看！！前四十分钟尚可，后半段灾难级别堪比变形金刚5。
看之前听说是《五十度灰》，看的时候以为是颜值低配版《After》，看到最后发现原来是《继承者》。看来玛丽苏故事也不好写啊。
有点封神，如果不是男主身材实在抱歉不然可以冲击一下五十度灰在我心里的位置
7/10，现在5.7真过分了，还是很爽的嘛，追车枪战很典型贝氏，特别是那些车拐弯或是急停我总感觉要变身了:)无人机摄影真是玩嗨了，背后居然是19岁无人机竞速世界冠军牛批了，剧情至少逻辑不别扭就合格，这部比之前网飞1.5亿那个又凌乱又鬼扯的好看。lorne balfe结尾配乐又用了一遍forgotten。还要感叹一下市场现状，《救护车》全球上映一个半月，北美首周票房870万美元，全球票房至今只有4600万，大陆上映首周票房也才125万（824万rmb）；对比之前烂到发指的《毒液2》北美首周票房9000万，全球达到5亿，直接10倍于这部，确实恨啊
真的挺无聊的片子，杰克为啥要接这个片子，太好莱坞动作片了。。。
从Wi-Fi 开始的恋爱之我的翻窗男友。玛丽苏果然放之四海皆好使。
我大受震撼，王子搭讪贫民窟灰姑娘靠的是蹭wifi！（多一颗星给男主美好的肉体吧
又是翻拍欧洲旧片，从《人之怒》到《健听女孩》，好莱坞和独立影片的原创性大幅度下降已是不争的事实。当然这个题材落在动作片大导演手上也不算难看，只是全程高密度的追逐戏和镜头设计感，让人从喘不过气的紧张感，渐渐落入到厌倦的情绪。动作戏与文戏对白不成比例，浪费了社会话题探讨，彻底沦为纯粹的风格化动作奇观……
哈哈哈哈什么乱七八糟的，但是俊男靓女谈恋爱赏心悦目还有啥好说的✌🏻
这剧情给我土笑了 男孩的故事笑死我了 中间有点尴尬但是有这颜值确实可以掩盖一些 甜美大欢喜结局我永远喜欢😁
男孩的富豪父亲告诉他们兄弟三，男和女可以随便玩，爱情无益；女孩的妈妈鼓励内向酷爱写作的女儿出去派对，相信自己。很欣赏女孩妈妈的教育方式，片尾女孩发言说是男孩鼓励的，我倒是觉得妈妈鼓励的比较贴切。
苍天啊。怎会如此难看。在卖拷贝蹩脚的指导下，老吉的演技无限趋近于0。女主是低配版的梅根福克斯吗？老男人果然一辈子都喜欢一个类型
除了男主的颜值和女主的眼睛之外，其他都很失败。period
哈哈哈哈经典晋江女追男言情小说，哈哈哈哈剧情一模一样，看了百八十遍的小说脉络主线。 灰姑娘与坏痞但很脆弱受伤且帅气多金王子的青春爱恋，灰姑娘旁边必有的温柔细心默默爱恋的男二男闺蜜，然后因为男主的病情重创，分开释怀聚合。哈哈，虽然很俗套，但就是不会腻的。。。
嗯。。。男女主颜值撑起了这部剧，剧情非常非常土，不过很好嗑
原片未看 跟随杰克吉伦哈尔一路亢奋的两小时（他瘦了！更帅了！） GTA既视感 黑白配 兄弟情 太好嗑 男人的浪漫什么淋漓尽致 紧张中带点cult 之前看了他们的幕后采访一想到那些车里的镜头是演员手持拍的也太有趣了吧 最后的正义与否试图将整片提升一个层次 但大可不必 如果不能在imax屏幕上看到这部电影我真的会泪流满面（神啊 你听到我的愿望了不 better gotta know what to do hhh）
整体带感，比起屡屡只有大场面，越看越没新意的速度与激情好看很多。不用多大的马力，救护车也能在城市里飞。
非常俗套的爱情故事，梗都很老旧但是由俊男美女演绎出来也还是有意思的，不过好像大哥更有味道一点
哈哈哈 男女主好看就完事了 男主好帅 我是土🐶 喜欢看他们亲亲
中国影迷对迈克尔贝导演的两个昵称「爆炸贝」和「卖拷贝」就已经很好地总结了这部电影的特点。追车爆炸等标志性场景，再配合迈克尔贝导演一贯的碎嘴双男主叙事风格，让这部电影一看就是标准的「卖拷贝电影」。而在电影院观影的体验，也会让目标观众心满意足，追车场面因为使用了无人机拍摄还有更多的新花样。能够在影院大银幕看这部电影，是一个愉悦的观影体验。抢银行枪战那场戏按迈克尔贝说法，是对《盗火线》的致敬，不过两个导演的两种风格还是辨识度很高的。另外，本片女主角，是 Netflix 版《三体》的女主角，看完之后我有些担心 N 版三体的故事……
