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.

能让人认真讨论剧情的网大不多了，制作加一星，质感再加一星，没啥原则
怎么觉得就是一部大乱炖，哈尔的移动城堡，糖果屋，外加故事中的故事，只是小演员的文笔演技在线，其他确实get不到点。
本来以为是黑色童话版的一千零一夜，结果到头来还是糖果屋杀老巫婆的老酒故事，全新解读了一番后，想法倒是不错挺好玩的，但影片越往后走感觉越无趣，跟前两年凯特大魔王那部嘀嗒屋差不多，低配版的雷迪嘎嘎造型令那位演员根本就撑不起来，没有丝毫魅力风格和个性，且把角色都给毁了，没什么特别吓人的点，也没什么特别出色的点，就那间暗夜荧光花圃还算比较有趣，四眼小男孩是不是鬼庄园一的那个，乍一看浑身上下都是戏但他演的太用力了，现在的童星真不行，一上戏一股模子感，真没我们那个时候的孩子自然有灵气，打发下时间还可以，但要说想拍成一部别具一格的恐怖片或者黑童话那就差得远了，毕竟蒂姆波顿还失过手呢！
子供片。特技一般，剧情高开低走，整体很一般。
聚焦种族矛盾、左右政治割裂（历史正确和政治正确）主题，讽刺和搞笑混为一体，净睁着眼说些大实话。几段车战拍得挺惊心动魄，真实感很强，尤其是身体分离的片段，又恶心又恐怖又能把喜剧氛围拉满。
好大好漂亮的屋，舞房宿舍女主家( '-')ノ)`-')
老套的女巫拐小孩的故事，给小朋友看吧，有几个画面还真有点相对重口，给大人看吧这些画面又太柔和，所以这片的受众是PG和PG13之间的小朋友？
剧情的趣味性，故事的恐怖感，没有一个能及格，只有小朋友的演技可以支撑。
小男孩的演技过于成熟，我们的流量明星可能比不过的那种。恐怖的桥段比较俗套，某些部分还会让观众气到血压升高。故事整体的逻辑性拼接痕迹明星，合理性有很大的问题。恐怖故事的部分不错，被排挤和抛弃的孤独感更加出彩。电影整体中上吧。
媲美《无辜者》故事写得太好了 很有新意 女巫也很美
这个悬疑的电影是真的悬疑了😀，我上次看到这么难看的电影还是在上次
她的鞋每双都很厚底😂颜真的很🉑
只能说服化，特效，糖果屋，炫彩花圃都很美。逗孩子们一乐没啥问题，但是内容上就像说了个童话故事，但要告诉我们些什么，半知半解。
她的鞋每双都很厚底😂颜真的很🉑
无聊话痨又弱智，主要是两人之间的互动一点意思都冇
故事太儿童向了，不适合寻求刺激的我( ͡°ᴥ ͡° ʋ)不过蓝毛女士竟然有点萌萌的
鸡皮疙瘩类型的故事，还颇喜欢的，有种怀旧感……
现在连女巫都要有性感的大嘴唇子//第一个故事的画面还蛮好看的//现在的小孩情绪这么不稳定的吗…？//猫猫好可爱啊555//邪恶独角兽有点点帅//故事部分的美术真的很漂亮//
A happy family is more important than a happy ending.
冲着芭蕾去看的 只是舞蹈桥段太少 女主颜值真是可人
