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.

不论未来如何如何
8/10 不识庐山真面目，只缘身在此身中。
配乐和画面都是很小清新的日系电影的风格，很好看，很好听。剧情没有意外之喜，男女主之间的情绪和分寸都是比较抓人的。
过了半年终于在中国上线了，看到茉莉闭上眼幻想着以后嫁人生子的情节真是太好哭了。相机拍下樱花的画面贯穿始终，很唯美，好想和喜欢的人一起去赏樱，一起去天空树啊！
前面的剧情非常的平淡！！！
果然倒计时的生命还是给人恐惧啊 按照遗愿清单在有限的时间里去一件一件“打卡”还是很恐怖的。毫无希望的最后还能遇见你到底是我的幸运呢还是你的不幸呢 “我还不想死 我也想和喜欢的人结婚”茉莉想必也清楚内心的答案了。纯爱还是要看霓虹。千篇一律的本子但本本却有各自的味道 四星的内容+一星私心给ken酱
胶片剧照好看，摄影好看，景好看，就是电影不咋样。
唯一观后感 一定不要吝啬拍摄啊！要多多拍照记录啊！记忆会褪去，照片会永远帮你记住
俗套的故事 但是遇上了会讲故事的导演 恰到好处的背景音乐 美到发光的取景地 抱着妈妈痛哭 一直喊着还不想死的茉莉 悲伤的极致美学 如果有来生 愿你能痛快喝啤酒 开心吃披萨 不必在深夜痛哭 不用随时吸氧 可以坐在跟你名字一样的那家居酒屋里 看最爱的人给你烤肉串
怎么会拍的一点记忆点都没有哈哈哈。不过感觉适合拿去做混剪（
一开始以为温子仁是故意追求2000s那种B级片质感，演员的演技也是“故意”演得那么“差”（女主、妹妹、没什么鬼用的hapa男主加浮夸的black female detective），我还觉得很玩味，以为是在反讽类型片呢。可耐着性子看完整部真的只能用就这就这？？来形容，整体跟early千禧的美式低成本恐怖片没区别啊。body horror也不恐怖，只能用awkward来形容。太土了。土到绝望。
但是其他角色演技依旧吊打两位主角
配乐👍🏻
这就是对所受的爱的报答
挑染男孩终于下猛料！不玩温氏jump scare不来东方装神弄鬼，直接意式铅黄血腥杀戮🩸寄生脸在三池崇史的鬼妓回忆录里出现过，不知道是不是受那个影响🤷🏻♀️
DV与胶片相机，胸口上的伤痕，沙滩与雪场，吓一跳的樱花，不善言辞的“我喜欢你”与无助的“我想活下去”
如果是其他导演的片子我可能还能接受一些，但是温子仁不应该，特效场景多了，结果这电影倒完全是一种美剧的感觉。
人生好长，长到只能和你短短相遇。
当你觉得温氏恐怖品味中产温吞无趣时，温SIR扯掉领带撕碎衬衫露出后脑勺的小仁仁，冲过了左右开弓给你一百多个耳刮子。。顺便认识了一个倒着走路天下第一的乌克兰柔术美女玛丽娜马泽帕。。
温子仁中等水平发挥，大宅内的长镜游走跟随+主观视角呈现出视觉上的繁复多样，西雅图地下世界氛围感颇好（重提nirvana和pearl jam是惊喜），高潮杀戮戏招招封喉太过爽利；从精神层面的幻象到专注生理机制的畸变倒也可看，只是文本较贫瘠单薄，尤其是解决段落处理得简单了。
