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.

两个牧师都有秘密
冬日看电影，原著打底外加影片中浪漫的bgm，相当小资情调。小清新中带限制级，吻戏& sex都脸红心跳, Enemies to Lovers💓 ‘So, it turns out love and hate aren’t as similar as I thought . Sure, they both get your blood pumping and make you want to do crazy things to someone else’s body. But when you love someone, and I mean really love someone, even when you fight, you’re still on the same team. ‘
P.S.音乐选择也很不错。this is how you fall in love(jeremy zucker), alligator(of monsters and men),somebody(dagny)
挺无聊的电影，本身西方的所谓驱魔就没什么看头，故事剧情一点都没吸引力，最关键的是一点都不恐怖，大晚上把我看困了好几次……
...
没啥新颖，唯一的亮点在于最后，神这边终于派出使者，一直没搞懂基督教这种驱魔，一直都是人和魔对抗，那你们这些神干嘛去了？所以还不如康斯坦丁这样的驱魔人，至少天使恶魔齐上阵。
整个电影都好萎，男主这配件人设竟然能如此无趣。也就身材可以看看。
一个反转，结束的时候，那句话，感觉才是最恐怖的…
讽刺宗教的神作。披着娱乐恶趣味外衣，节奏明快地讽刺了传统驱魔电影，梵蒂冈缺乏逻辑的操作以及官僚主义，进一步探讨了信仰的本质到底是对袖手旁观的无形神顶礼膜拜，抑或是现实主义的人文关怀。一部被严重低估的好片。
“牧师把自己献祭给上帝，拯救了他的女儿和孩子们。在我看来，他就是个活生生的圣人”
刚看完美剧驱魔人，这部简直槽点满满，观看时音量建议调低。非常简单的驱魔场面，最厉害的驱魔人（白发牧师）第一次见面就被咬掉耳朵，打一针镇静剂被附体的人就安静，老牧师喝酒壮胆。最后的监狱驱魔全体囚犯被附身了，更像是丧尸片！最搞笑的是中年牧师觉得老牧师可以驱魔，老牧师觉得中年牧师可以驱魔，结果两个人都不可以。最后的正邪对决来回拉扯，其实有点出戏，不过氛围还行吧。
挺有想法啊，这结尾值得多半颗星，三星半推荐。如果流程再紧凑点会更好
...
反向驱魔并不算先例，请看邪恶力量，不过驱神确实有点意思
神父放弃自身拯救女儿的故事，如果驱魔过程能除了嗓门之外开个其他脑洞，肯定就更有意思了
帅哥美女hot and sweet，冬日假期看这种最好不过，花痴笑就一直没停过哈哈哈，冰块脸配西装，心细如发肚里藏，这种男人，真是从Darcy到现代永远会有人爱。
故事创意不错，有新意。驱魔仪式有点俗套，少许剧情bug。值得一看。
有点新意的驱魔片，驱魔师和恶魔互行驱逐仪式，一个要驱走附身对方的恶魔，一个要驱走附身对方的上帝……。🤪🤣
男主和魔鬼互相驱魔那段，很像泼妇骂街，但是设定有新意，而且反传统，与一般的驱魔影片不同，最后的台词有些意思：恶人无法接管上帝的国度，但是可以接管人间。
中规中矩 故事有点乱 其实可以更有想象力的
