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.

天啊太难看了，吴彦祖一开口让我体会了中英夹杂的终极🙏
是迷局还是迷情…穿针引线，发现绣的是个俗不可耐的故事…开篇是令人惊艳的水上末世迈阿密的设定…
这配置从最后的成片来看着实一般般，有点失望。开头的画面质感很好，“水城”很美，核心概念的设定：“追忆”也不错。可惜本子实在不吸引人，悬疑感很弱，前期节奏慢，最后的反转也根本谈不上惊艳。其实就是一借科幻外壳的爱情片。吴彦祖戏份也太少了😅以为是主演结果还是打个酱油就领盒饭了，不过帅还是帅的。
四不像，爱情？悬疑？科幻？末世？悬疑科幻不如世纪末爆潮，末世景观不如未来水世界。英文夹杂中文也是挺fancy的，告诉我们以后装逼的时候也要只把名词换成英语。
故事乏善可陈，腔调有一点，主要看休杰克曼胡茬子。
有着一切高水准科幻片的设定和反乌托邦的世界观，却拿起来讲了一个毫无头脑的爱情故事，但不说男女主没有一点相合感，整部电影都是狼叔的自我迷失自我感受，让人只会觉得无理取闹，自述性故事风格像极了经典科幻片的影子，但一点点毛边都没沾到，难以想象这样的概念片拍成这种以爱情糊弄观众的方式。稍微拍深层次一点，稍微不那么以自我中心，再包装一个不做作的故事，这部电影水准就能提到8分以上，现在估计只有导演自己觉得拍得很好看吧
负分滚粗，毫无逻辑漏洞百出，主角自恋自负玛丽苏气爆表，扭蛋再次证明中英文夹杂死的快
在电影院浑浑噩噩睡着了四次。吴彦祖那穿插的蹩脚普通话是肿么回事！剧情设定很高能，然后通片下来就是个爱情片，可惜了。镜头很美，打斗很土，狼叔真的是太好看了，五十了都那么帅，越来越有魅力。女主很适合大荧幕，当年演《白皇后》没觉得这么美。
导演是不是和吴彦祖在片场嗑药了，不然怎么把吴彦祖拍的像个嗑嗨的沙雕一样！
花太多笔墨解释内涝不夜佛州高谭黑帮老大二公子不是小丑和半缸水盗忆机的使用方法，情感故事和内核被兑水太多需要观众自行加料才能移情。回忆不管好坏都是令人欲罢不能的头号非物质毒品，谁不希望被ghost时对方另有隐情或回心转意。古二蛋疯狂夹带广普what a 龟孙子
哦……导演是诺兰的弟媳妇……所以狼叔是给面子参演吗？
提取记忆 开始告诉人类这个世界是虚拟的了吗 未来水世界 为什么是水？ 一定是水 这种剧情居然拍了2个小时 兢兢业业的西方演员 整体有点奇怪啊 不像个简单的剧情片 想影射什么东西 又看不明白 剧情之下讲的绝对不是一般的情爱 反对垄断 有宗教的意思 神学 人类 意识 好模糊啊 想不明白 还有时间 宿命 线性 环线 等等 可能还有VR 哈哈 里面的有些台词不是在讲爱情 是在讲宇宙的真相 关于爱关于我们人类该追寻的东西 烧脑的宇宙真相
末世纪背景下的一出纯美爱情悲剧，角色都选得超到位，个性魅力十足，狼叔虽然比女主大上好多，但CP感依然和谐无比。还被最终的结局引得老泪纵横。只可惜了狼叔的设定，明明是退伍军人，但格斗奇烂，被人狠揍，可能这也算是其转型的一作。
有点乱。一段段的回忆没顺序，再加上我不是一次看完的。三星吧。
忠犬女黑人单刷黑帮副本突袭男都得往后靠灭了嚣张香蕉人拯救了老板男白人，助力痴心老板男白人去追求聪明美丽善良命运多舛的女神女白人，得，这是你们以后（暂时）的爱情路了，毕竟以后无性别人士的爱情也要安排上。女主角不能让人惊艳，没有说服力，不过挺经看的。
《马戏之王》里两人没在一起，这部补上，开场20多分钟就睡了。电影很烂，也受不了旁白，只是Rebecca太美太美太美，坚持看完了…
It could be a better story, but the writer ruins it. 逻辑上重新调整，让Mae的死是不可逆的，让Watts不要多此一举爱上老板，让Booths更加可恶可恨一些，让城市的死而后生的这条暗线更加深刻一些，这个片子凭借立意是可以冲刺盗梦空间一般的高度的。可惜了。At least, Mae was so beautiful to earn three stars here.
所以情话不要说一样的，就像定情信物也不要老送同一款，简直翻车必备。
又是被悬疑害了的片子，整部片的类型比重偏爱情片，非要披一个悬疑，科幻的衣服，最后达不到盗梦空间的级别被大家诟病。如果单纯从爱情片的角度来看，加入的很多设定还是很新颖的，但可惜非要流量不要实打实。一开始惊讶于吴彦祖的英语居然这么好，之后惊讶于吴彦祖的中文怎么这么差了？
先说海报模仿《银翼杀手》，剧情则是老掉牙的黑色电影套路，一个半吊子侦探+一个神秘美女，台词非常奇怪，半中文半英文，时代背景海水上涨也没啥大用，好莱坞烂片，鉴定完毕
