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.

算是正经的鬼片，时间重叠、鬼打墙、符咒、鬼门
人一死就会变成恶灵，巫师自己都成鬼了，还拿着金刚杵要收服这群妖魔鬼怪。
一个好的工程项目应该是有用的平等的和持久的。
目前IMDb评分6.2/1.4K票，字幕已完成，转战下一个
3星半。氛围感不错，关着灯晚上一个人看还是可以的。虽然也是废弃楼的概念，但是这个穿插了时空交错的元素
还挺好看的，算得上惊艳，感觉可以加入很多种设定，拍个恐怖片版《盗梦空间》+《致命ID》
风间俊介演技力惊人。居然是部作家电影，作者和编辑的角力，真实与虚构的界限，创作时的取舍和妥协。就是这个全部由巧合构成的故事实在是太无聊了，没有任何的醍醐味。どうでもいい。
可能是因为建造过程比较顺利反而没什么可说的，只好用爱情来凑；不过片尾的“A”还是成功地让两条线合奏了一个最强音。
凌晨一个人关灯在房间看的，所以有几个地方还是被吓到了，但是看完了之后就还好，没给我留下什么深刻的印象
整体来说还是相当不错的，虽然是old school式的恐怖演出手法但属于是经典不是糟粕哦。全程没有降智，男主身世安排、潜入鬼屋动机都很合理，boss双重人格、时空交错的设定都让单调的人物和场景显得比较丰富。结局的小反转很令人纳德、小彩蛋瞬间梦回零系列hhh虽然夸了这么多但还是要说明这个四星主要还是靠这两年过于拉胯的同行衬托哈
为啥现在风pon出来就一股子斯文败类、变态老公的气质。。。。
没啥意思，但是和我妈打赌结局，赢了一百块钱💰
艾菲尔铁塔背后的爱情故事，画面很美，故事有点单薄。
大数据编剧是怎么看上埃菲尔铁塔这个毫无热度的IP的？
如果不能为你搭一座爱情的桥，那就为你建一座永恒的塔吧！Amour！
给4星。因为它有鬼！！！而且隐含的太多了，搞得我懒得去仔细挖掘，还是看看其他大神的解析比较好。韩国还是敢拍敢想的，就是驱鬼能力不行~~
好像逻辑性很强 但是又少了很多东西 莫名其妙
感觉鸟巢、水立方也可以拍成一部传记爱情电影。
无法抗拒的吸引。怀疑，确认，甜蜜。设计，搭建，工程师。丢失又重逢的爱情。完美落日。权衡取舍爱情为理想，心疼且幸福。300米高。A字型。
6.1/10 这节奏倒是不拖泥带水，演出效果跟独立恐怖游戏一样简单直接，就是还是太温柔了，恐怖度比不了昆池岩。
