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.

最后还看到了类似重案六组一集几十辆出租车围堵界面。
这是我见过的的士最多的电影。
又是毛骗这群人创作的，没有对成熟商业片那种特别高的要求，就觉得这样小成本制作其实还蛮有惊喜的。偶尔在观影过程中还会跳脱出来帮剧组考虑，某某场景是不是成本特别高。
除去毛骗粉丝滤镜给四星，加上滤镜给五星，毕竟口碑好异物志才能快上线
毛骗没看过。就说这部。还是有笑点的，虽然没在我笑点上。立意有点浅。演得还行
作为一部小成本网剧来说，还可以了，毕竟全是素人演员。
这群人总是很有想法。虽然都不是大制作，但是故事上总是很有趣味。
希望配乐剪辑能够再完美一点。作为老观众可能看了会更加严格打分吧。
作为网剧其实感觉没啥缺点，不管是草蛇灰线还是整体结构都挺漂亮的，美中不足就是太意料之中了，而且也没什么反转，不过一看就是有钱了，最后还是有几个大场面的，但没脏话了，有点没过去那味儿，4星
剧情有 演技有 搞笑有 是部打发时间的好片子 一个事件 就能展示各个人物的特征 细节也很到位 继续继续
小人物的悲欢离合，结局算是HE！(邵半仙的角色太深入人心了)
你们说情怀，我觉得不是，起码要态度认真吧。这个题材还行，故事性完全不行
全员回归，剧情紧凑，有点狙击电话亭的感觉，不过剧本加工痕迹太重，不是很自然，这种题材最精彩的就是最后几波人碰头的时候，这里以出租车司机追捕骗子也还算高潮，整体中规中矩，亮点反而是几场感情戏，我们都被自己束缚的太久了，一直以为的随心所欲不过是建立在亲人的痛苦之上，是时候需要一辆洒水车冷静冷静了
演技都还在线。
故事就是简单的黑色幽默，但是看到一个个人物真的太激动了啊
这片子的质量比预想的要好一些，质量还是可以的，肯定比大多数网络电影都要好，有笑点也有反映社会问题。虽然有一些桥段处理得不够好显得不合理，但对故事整体的影响还不算大，最起码对观影时的感受影响不大，反正我算是愉快的看完了影片。我给4星7.2分！
电影完成度不低，剧情十分紧凑，虽然在一个城市兜兜转转，但因为有两拨人与主角二人的追逐，导致彼此之间躲躲藏藏，倒是产生了一种公路片的效果。至于两个冤家最终和解并且放下自己的过去，找到人生的未来，这是一开始就能遇见的结局。只是如何在一头一尾的预料之中加入一些张弛有度的元素和剧情便是电影的水平所在了。整体看下来，影片反映出来的一种思想便是，没有一同成长，便很难做出真正的理解，这很正确，但是真正同行，并且两人交心，却是当下朋友、同事甚至亲人、夫妻都有些难度的。最后，电影中别的不说，王哥这个老板够幽默，我相信他其实是知道一些事情的真相的，但他乐在糊涂之中，这是精明所在；龙哥这个老大够执着，我相信他追债的原因并不是真的缺那些钱，但他必须要出手，这是责任所在。这两个演员都很出彩，他们出场的时候压过了主角。
剧情很精彩，所有的坑都填了，前后衔接完美，包哥永远的神，最后出租车围堵卖假药的燃爆了
剧情结构足够复杂了，转折也够多了，可是推进剧情前进的情节设置明显说服力不足，带着十足的荒诞气息
剧情合理，各种伏笔，有惊喜，5条线汇合的比较好，演员演技也可以
