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.

这竟然是活军人军团的前传啊，哈哈，完全两个风格和情节的电影，全片还是无尿点的，尿点的地方我都快进了。唯一想吐槽的就是，这么难开的宝箱，拥有它的主人是怎么把现金装进去的……
小学看《夜访吸血鬼》，大学看《吸血鬼日记》，现在一把年纪了居然还要被按在电影院看两个小时刻进DNA的老套剧情，我这也算是和吸血鬼三生三世了。莱托少爷你真的没必要为这种电影做气球的，不值得。新冠改变了我许多看待问题的角度，从前看吸血鬼和蝙蝠觉得好酷，现在只觉得好好的干嘛作死，蝙蝠身上好几百种传染病，随便一个新冠就快把人类文明搅和得天翻地覆了，这是有多想不开拿蝙蝠做实验。
比烂强，比好又差，就是一部很不漫威的漫威电影，整体来说和毒液2差不多，完成了，可又没什么特别出彩的地方
小马还是这么个怂样子，扮猪吃虎，剧情还是这么个套路没多大意思，就是给活死人军团做个铺垫而已，德国景色不错
3.5。真浪漫啊，你我相遇，你将我带进完全不同的生活。后来我们分道扬镳再没见过。一期一会，留下一个吻和一个黄昏。飒爽的姑娘们大概牢底坐穿了，只是还活着，不然简直是性转泰坦尼克号嘛。
【忘记mark补上系列】《活死人》没看，去年年末的时候网飞看到刷的电影。一刷用了一个礼拜，没有太大的兴趣，只是开头了那么就看下去。因为是年轻演员自导自演的关系有一种放大自己角色设定的感觉，但是人设并没有太大的出彩点可以去专门拍摄一部电影的感觉。时间特别多可以看，不是很喜欢，但是完成度尚可。
即便以漫威电影的爆米花标准来衡量，也是一部彻头彻尾的烂片。导演压根就不会讲故事，全片就是一堆情节生硬地堆砌。小11终于演了一回反派，窃以为反派很适合长着一张苦瓜脸的他。
强行圆上了正篇的故事线，老实讲剧情也没有好到哪去，犯罪策略都很反智，还刻意设置了一个笨警察来配合。本来可以好好给作为外行的观众讲讲听声开锁的门道，结果把故事的开锁主线活生生变成了《尼伯龙根指环》的读书会，然后一顿瞎逼转解锁就完事。动作戏也乏善可陈，低配版金刚狼先生外强中干除了讲几句祖安话什么也不会。唯一能看的就是大波黑客小姐姐，以及如同行走的衣架子一般的弥桑黛小姐的英伦穿搭秀。
莱托的超级英雄电影又一次折戟，这剧情跟蜘蛛侠没什么区别，真是样板戏_戏，吸血鬼也太丑了……
⒈比《毒液2》要好看，可整体也没有强出太多，只能说是非常普通的超级英雄电影，故事相对老套，还是兄弟朋友反目成仇那一套，而在特效上，感觉是采用了《毒液》的模板，打架的风格有点类似，给人以敷衍的感觉；
类型引起关注，但各方面都是一塌糊涂。属于低配版惊天魔盗团。
哈？怎么就变了？怎么就成了？怎么就吻了？怎么就死了？怎么就完了？
用名字模仿超级英雄，却还是被贪婪蛊惑的盗贼，以毕生叩问信仰之门，便能够见证尘封百年的诸神。开锁与音乐一样需要聆听，创造和爱情相通渴求赤诚。
……啥剧情啊这是……特效也做的跟个节奏大师一样
吸血鬼加真·蝙蝠侠，哈哈，太丑了！漫威英雄已经穷途末路了？
中规中矩 结尾不喜欢 虽然是为了承接第一部
人物性格不突出，故事老套，角色设计实在是太丑了。已经降低了期待，还是很不好看。但最烂的超英片还不至于，彩蛋出现了秃鹰，也算是沟通了小蜘蛛。
电影没想象中那么差，特效也还凑合，就是套路老了点。最后的彩蛋是败笔~
比起更早上映的丧尸片《活死人军团》，在内容上更有深度，但也同样是满满的套路、包括运镜也似曾相识，没啥惊喜，也没啥高潮，基本上剧情都能猜到，男主被抛弃、女主重新找男主合作、两个男配被捉、结尾反转什么的，大致上都能猜到。没猜到的是越来女主可以这么美？她似乎是个黑人？经过化妆和滤镜后，让我有时以为她是白人，因为白一点似乎会好看一点。然后是开锁这个剧情，从来不知道还能做得这么有深度，这电影放在20多年前上映，肯定是大热，如今就只能6分不高不低的样子了
PS:shit！
