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.

毫无疑问，资本塑造了这一切。
好像说了, 但又好像什么都没说的故事, 男女主倒是金童玉女很是相配, Talia Ryder未来可期。这部作品如果是连续剧的话恐怕会很精彩。
男女主没有毛点火花，整个恋爱过程活像朋友聊天😀
牛仔作為一種表演藝術形式真是神奇呀幾乎可以貼合我們的武俠那種血海深仇的路子, 演員們也很棒壞壞艾巴兄真是讓人很想舔屏請他千萬不要再接演好人了自殺小隊那種東西演得真的很軟屌 還有天菜Lakeith完全那個調調我猜他最後一場戲一定演得很開心 Edi Gathegi我也愛就是X戰警的達爾文呀好令人難忘的美人, 卡菲根本就像新龍門客棧的廚子似的就等你發揮! 還有一些音樂歌唱也都很好聽很適得其所, 拍攝也好真的就是老派那種假, 假到回味無窮
道具服装气氛都是我贼喜欢的那种西部风，但是剧情太拉跨了……既然大家都这么公平从来不背后开枪，那不如举办一个运动会来解决矛盾？
76分钟的片长，不能图它有什么解答。当作消遣足矣，毕竟莱德妹妹的神仙颜值太能打了(为她加一⭐)。
看完后觉得确实剧情很老套，但跟近期全程连一枪都没开过剧情流水账还高分的西部片比这部确实不错
好像还要有续集。
平行世界的黑色牛仔和绵羊一样温顺的白人，画面和音乐不错，剧情贼狗血。。。
5分，一开场就完全不信服，虽然说有几场戏很爽，但不够连贯。
Jeymes Samuel。Netflix 出品，2.39 : 1 ，Panavision，變形寬銀幕。『雖然這個故事是虛構的，但這些人物確實存在』，Rufus Buck 幫派。Jonathan Majors、Idris Elba。西部復仇劇。風格鮮明，浪漫化的暴力槍戰。音樂很不錯，Zazie Beetz 頗正，唱歌時與不唱歌時皆然。殘酷、無榮譽感。走位，角色默契。軟性，觀看取向。
这大概是最近这几年最难看的漫威电影的吧……除了毒液小可爱和艾迪发糖没有任何可看的剧情……
不是黑白的问题，就是剧本本身的问题，混乱到一塌糊涂，完全没有节奏可言。
开头还有点好笑 后面逐渐垮掉 特效停留在80年代水平
卖点是打破对西部片传统语境与刻板印象的再阐释，片头那个「exist」注定要挖掘那些不曾被浓墨重彩记载或是还未有被人注意的历史；这个动机被用全非裔美国演员的选角以及女性角色亮相的平分秋色所完成- -只不过《豪勇七蛟龙》、Idris自己的《贫民区牛仔》都已经开始注意，所以所谓独特性被大打折扣。抛开这之外，故事依然延续了老式的「情仇、冤冤相报何时了」；只能靠对血腥的不吝呈现以及具有风格的视听来抓住视线。由Jay-Z策划的音乐以及整体相当不错的表演有挽回分数，但看的时候还是会禁不住对这片竟然有九千万的投资靠背、竟然还缓慢积累起奥斯卡buzz的疑惑【#mygirl# Regina!】。
this movie is like an epic mashup of clichés
不管正反派，人人都是话痨。被中间的尼化阿凡达舞弄吐了。
两星半吧，安妮丹毒液艾迪一对夫妻一对基，更神奇的是这个人无论怎样排列组合都蛮好嗑的诶，他们好像互相爱着😂从第一部就觉得丹真是个勇敢的好人啊！尖叫出来以后就换了一身Gucci，笑的，黑人发达了就是要穿Gucci！这一部真是食之无味弃之可惜，你不能说很难看，但更说不出来它好看
女主真漂亮 男主这样的golden boy我还真认识一个哈哈 很trigger
和前男友在告别date时看的电影，很应景了
