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.

在ig上看到两人的宣传影像，简直不是普通的无聊，所以一直没有补，果然，不管是剧中还是剧外，两人一点化学反应都无。Emily Blunt为什么会选这个本子，姐姐你失手了。
非常复（老）古（套）的冒险片 有几幕特别古墓 艾米丽布朗特可以原地演劳拉 选角我很满意 笑点也在线 还有迪士尼式浪漫 这种片请每年多来几部 如果在电影院观影可以有五星
剪辑不太好。
虽然他是老套的奇观冒险片。但是角色和人设真的是很不错了以至于让人津津有味不觉厌烦。
迪士尼童话版《盗墓笔记》，《迷失Z城》要是这么拍就要失口碑赚点票房了。
好合家欢，傻傻呼呼的。要是没有后面的惊悚，又是一部扑街的多利特。每次看强森的电影，尤其是这次，感觉他像个巨型花瓶。俩主角说实话都挺一般的，而且凑在一起根本就一丁点化学反应也没有。
越到后面越是脑洞大开，让人眼前一亮。就像 Disney Land 那样，总有惊喜在后头！
丛林版《加勒比海盗》，可片中角色并不像《加》那样充满魅力，感情线突兀且毫无CP感；剧情约等于没有且充斥着无用的对白，无意义的争吵和好，无亮点的冒险场面。前几个月因《库伊拉》对迪士尼真人部的期待在本片之后打的稀碎，作为一部奇幻冒险片拍的如此无聊也实属罕见！
不用带脑子，图个乐子轻轻松松看完——简称，平庸
木乃伊in the jungle，大猫猫全片最佳。其他老传统了。
同类型的太多了，如果不是粉丝真不用看了，艾米莉是如何越来越年轻的
女主设定不怎么讨喜，最后都找到树了就不能把兄弟一起救了嘛？
实在无法评价，要是无聊可以去电影院看一下，一切都很标准的现代好莱坞电影。有一点点3D效果一惊一乍的，迪士尼乐园广告片。
木乃伊＋夺宝奇兵＋加勒比海盗的结合体，但是三个系列的精髓是一点也没有体现，最大的看点是女主演得不错
上迪沒有的，電影給我補上了
典型的冒险娱乐片，看看还可以的。一美女博士要去亚马逊探险，当然巧合之下，找了强森一起，然后通过各种解谜和艰难险阻，找到了秘密，似乎是纳粹德国弄过去的，最后惊险的像游乐园冒险游戏一样逃出生天，完成度挺不错的。
Emily女士十年如一日的年轻和美丽啊！绝命毒师的Todd+致命女人的Catherine+亿万的胖子法官，这阵容也是绝了啊哈哈哈哈！
木乃伊是一个女博士+她的超搞笑哥哥，再加一个“雇佣兵”男主，然后碰到一群守护金字塔的神秘人，BOSS有形态变化然后随着时间逐渐强大。
前面还好，后面俗套又没逻辑。有如此神力的部落斗不过几个忘恩负义的西班牙人。女主跑来毁东毁西又没做任何研究就为了能有段冒险故事做饭后谈资？这圣簇用完就没了？下次开花怎么办。
不是在电影院里看的，视觉的优势没有发挥，弱智的特点得到彰显。祛魅后，也就两颗星吧。
