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.

说明女人一定要运动，绝境不仅能活还能反杀💪
“爱情是一种习惯，习惯结束了，生命也结束了。”这句话挺对的
错误的人错误的时间错误的地点，约翰大卫华盛顿的演技没得说，故事太老套，整体的逃杀也过于枯燥

是个好问题：一段关系维持多久，才能让人感觉是美好的？
没有很好的动作戏，也不惊悚。唯一一次惊叹是为了Dolomiti的风景
特别古典的希区柯克式的悬疑电影，包括前半部的运镜都挺有希式电影的风格。背景的各方政治角力，每一方都不过是利益集团的代表，寓意了当前的西方世界，。只有男主抱着那点仅存的正义感与赎罪心，踉踉跄跄地独自走在暴徒和警察对峙的骚乱中，很有意思。
小成本电影，节奏很快，故事简单但是还是比较紧张的，虽然几个反派一手好牌打得稀烂，不过高空作业真是好身手啊，6分。
全程希区柯克式悬念？网飞这次有仿A24配乐的嫌疑，请来坂本龙一操刀配乐，古典惊悚感直抓头皮，很棒。
3男的慢了半个山 怎么就快赶上了？
青春女孩爱攀岩，两男同行将其害，斗智斗勇斗体力，终胜坏蛋把山登。
看完印度版CMBYN了
一堆青铜追着王者追杀，小众类型片，目测未来三十年爬岩会在我国大火。

1 别蹭CMBYN了，真的求求了，东施效颦也不是这么效的，情感来得猛也最起码要有点铺垫好吧。
仗着free solo，
索性干掉女二，
蠢，剧本太蠢。拍的太差太蠢了，散着一股人类刚学会拍电影的单纯气息，配乐可惜了且浪费了这么好的卡司，制片厉害就是不一样啊。撞入房子那一刹就猜到了绑架和逃命.......我自己都没想到竟然猜对了。太蠢了，真的是越看越蠢，男主真的是蠢到一个让人不知道如何用语言形容的境界。另GoldenDawn是很严重的一个问题，但也不是这么拍的......
剧情算是稳扎稳打吧，没有特别出彩的地方，但是也能顺畅的看下去。感慨…感慨就是——心中有爱，就会有活下去的希望。
故事奇奇怪怪，意外听懂路人说主角malaka什么的
