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.

想打破stereotype但又充满stereotype的电影
2.6星。我以为一帮娘破天际的姐妹们一路上这么肤浅矫情做作的玩乐，一定会在后面给我来一个醒悟真心人的深度鸡汤或者大反转，但是并没有，整个故事都是这么肤浅矫情做作，心理年龄高中生的感情线和另一对傲慢与偏见的感情线，都不好看。
失败的套壳，最终呈现出来的效果是又抓马又无聊。很现代化，很理想化，说有内涵吧，故事完全套壳还改的不好很多地方逻辑不通；说肤浅吧，明明有颜有肉结果拍出来的观感甚至不如小时代。伯文的表演还挺惊喜的，完全跳出SNL的感觉了；Joel就差强人意，感觉还不如一众配角水平在线。作为骄傲月的流媒体开篇，以经典做底子，配上有话题度的卡司，给了人们过高的期待值。然而成片里我们看到的却又只是烂俗的政治正确灯红酒绿，浮夸拙劣没诚意也没创新，总结就是真的就是我配着骄傲滤镜都无法违心的说它好，真的就是三流网大的质量吧…
这个电影因为那个叫播客的豪猪给毁了，这选角导演也是个王八操的选了这么一个让人恶心的演员，菲比能和这么个傻逼做朋友也纯属扯淡，编剧也是个nt，好好一部电影因为这个豪猪愣是没看下去。
两星半
这部才是老版的真正续集吧，最后的part是真正的情怀。独居老爷子真是泪目，牺牲了一切，承担了骂名，守护了世界。
不好看也不好笑，是连主演都不好看的那种；倒不如在岛上看海看日落
致敬原作的怪奇物语版科学捉鬼：第一个小时开始好看了起来，1‘44老版队员合体情怀五星，最后更是被那个拥抱骗走了许多眼泪，1984年的电影，续作都要说到祖孙辈了，小演员们很灵，保路德饰演的老师金句频出“科学就是给自己挖坑自己填，科学就是朋克摇滚N头环！”片尾彩蛋哈哈哈😆片尾曲也好听
小演员也很好看，老版成员全体回归，很惊喜。
很轻松的一个片子，外出就餐的保守版回魂哈哈哈哈
题材适合电影，不过没有文化铺垫，纯靠折腾道具组，是空虚了些。
一个IP吃了父子两代人，相比于2016年全女班的激进，这次请回了老队员，成为了正牌续集。从大都会的语带机锋，变成了乡村小镇的少年冒险，相比于30年前的老本，吃的更多是怪奇物语的红利。但即便片尾塞了两个彩蛋，还是难掩想象力的匮乏，不免让人遗憾。
低幼版敢死队 小演员们和鬼都是过家家似的 paul rudd则是在什么电影里都可以发光。可能是情怀给欧美影迷打分上加分不少 如果单纯看这一部真的不咋行。
儿童片也在大踏步的退化，还有就是这村里肤色够全的。
7/10。沃尔玛奇妙夜，棉花糖小人萌我一脸血。最后看到三个初代捉鬼敢死队的队员亮相，我竟然眼泪出来了。这一部直接可以定义为儿童冒险电影，但还是好看好哭的
还是很遗憾之前那个女版没有再拍下去 而是直接续牌了原版故事 情怀还是有的 棉花糖小鬼依旧可爱 可是故事为了照顾没看过原版的也设置得过分简单了 最后又回到了那个消防站仓库 希望这次不要再半路夭折了
有可能里面有美国本土梗，外国人看不出来。
男主说的没错！《请以你的名字呼唤我》确实无聊。
真就傲慢与偏见 其实可以更喜剧一点的 和原版走完全不同的路线就好了
纯致敬的电影，对于有ghostbusters回忆的美国一代有点意思吧。雷的那句名台词，are u a gid，回答yes，有点搞笑。
