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.

或许相遇已是奇迹
4.5溫導我服了你，這才是真是惡魔逼我的標準示範，精良工整的調度，驚為天人的反轉，反轉看的目瞪口呆，視覺衝擊力極大，著實被震撼+噁爛到。溫導相隔5年的恐怖片新作，承襲著厲陰宅2霸王級的驚悚氛圍，與B級片濃厚的血漿味，以及1977年的陰風陣陣的致敬，有血漿、有反轉、有懸疑偵查、有恐怖，溫子仁把他所有拿手絕活都混在最新的原創恐怖片了，是類型的混搭極致，也是恐怖片+爽片的極致，安娜貝爾瓦莉茲實在太厲害了，這點先不爆雷，只能說後半段的肢體語言結合打鬥，完全讓我看傻了眼，只可惜溫導一向最強的親情，這次並不能說刻畫完美，說服力還差了那麼一點，不過撇除這點，整部片已堪稱完美，體感時間超短，該有的驚嚇與神乎其技調度全都有，這次還外加血漿，完全是類型的極致了，十字過癮！十足滿意！恐怖片才是溫子仁的拿手絕活阿！
“还要多少个心脏我才能抓住你的手”
本来想吐槽，但是一看到真人真事改编，立马把话都憋回去。
你们还记得无相皇的儿子吗 这异形阴阳人历险记的设定大大减弱了恐怖值 血腥和变异带来的观感完全不能与温子仁其他恐怖电影里恶灵搞事的悚然气氛相比 本该是高潮的看守所变身一幕戳到我诡异的笑点【ost里是不是有用where is my mind
大将军帮你老婆选选剧本吧！给黑木酱多一星！
温温太牛了，惊悚悬疑拍出了鬼片的味道。and不要看爱奇艺删减版！
还是没有逃过最后的情绪拉满，这到底是茉莉自己的事，还是两个人的事。

＃和你分享我刚刚看完的电影
活着真好
主题曲一响,瞬间带入情感,野田洋次郎的词曲真的太有力量了啊!!真戳心!!!
有时间流逝 有亲人朋友 有陪伴日常
大量的哭戏就像排枪阵打仗，足够密集但精度一般，令和年代的残酷青春物语似乎更需要观众在合适时间段看才能共情吧
致命ID之篮子里的恶魔 倒着走的兄弟太诡异了 果然意志力才是关键 内部纠纷要靠自己摆平
太虐了太虐了太揪心了 “我也想和妈妈一起活下去” 太难受了
3.5🌟不到4，豆瓣7还算中肯，藤井的镜头语言很美很清新，这个毋庸置疑。日式温吞，重气氛而轻剧情，如同一个加长MV。不过最后半小时还是泪目了。整体因为绝症设置让人唏嘘，占了题材的光吧。
还可以呀，温式吓人还是很强的，各种奇特镜头来一遍，前半段吓得我一愣一愣，后半段爽的一阵一阵。随着悬念的铺垫，中段大概已经猜到了谜底，但揭晓那刻依然挺过瘾。不过影片依然有着一些逻辑硬伤，其实可以把这个变态故事玩得更好。
看完观后感：两个自私鬼自我感动的爱恨情仇……
前半段节奏慢，后半段超好哭。远离国产狗血情绪、故事，日式温情、浪漫、平淡却又让你啪啪掉泪
