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.

青少年片其实挺无聊的，好在我带耳机看的，居然有燃到。
完整又有独立性，加上教室念尤利西斯那段可以打个8分吧。
之前采用翻译叫重金属天团，现在改成了金属霸主。但观影给我的感觉，让我想起那个段子，死亡金属乐队们来华演出，主办方请吃卤煮，这些号称恶魔之子的乐队听说卤煮的构成是动物内脏后，要么当场吐了，要么当场解散了乐队——觉得自己太小儿科了。//这片给我的感觉就是死亡金属VS卤煮
青春片，幸好没有国产三件套。
好中二好喜欢。三个主角长相又怪异又帅气，很贴切重金属乐团形象了。
挺多经典致敬的，不少Jackson好琴，就是把金属党描述的有点楞，非常尴尬。
素质是肯定超三星的，要说陈词滥调也确实，但讲法很不错
警察对他们展开了激烈的殊死追捕，他们被迫躲在银行内避难
3.5谁说老套的剧情拍不出好片子的，虽然较之另一部重金属电影稍微弱了些，但已经很不错了，歌也好听！女主神经兮兮的挺有摇滚气质
男二是最常见的金属党 留长发穿T恤 无论多大一直中二 中间来应聘的那个金色头发如果做乐手一定很招女孩子喜欢 每个青春电影里都会出现一个傻大个 女主和男主有点weirdo但很可爱 最普通的衬衫穿在少年身上也闪闪发光 想念在迷笛冲撞 想回到19岁
中二摇滚少年的热血青春（我艹超酷的好吗！）
Metal is taking the wheel.真的不该Finn来演吗＞＜！
纪实影视，会放大善与恶，普通与特殊。在全球意识正确的背景下，电影显示一个种族的抗战与牺牲，但意识形态也完全西化，本土传承与文明被弱化甚至否定。
挺多共鸣的地方，也想起了好朋友。但更多是突兀和套路剧情。 考虑到老少咸宜，行吧。
最怂的“罪犯”，最吊的“人质” 克莉丝汀死的好可惜 自由的意义是什么？是一切
反正你喜欢摇滚 这片子很多地方都能get到 .全片BGM 金属党耳熟能详 ，泳池四大位出来劝男主别当渣男（哇蒙特一出镜我脑子全在哇！），女主大提琴低音 买谱子就要买metallica-And Justice For All 哈哈哈哈哈！为杰森伸张正义！去医院遇见自己偶像当医生slayer乐队TOM原来就是医生~
这种风格电影就很难受，首先完全没有共鸣，其次观感太差，全是杀马特非主流辣眼睛，然后说内容吧主角有点反社会人格自己没啥本事莫名其妙谁都看不上，几个主要人物都是恶心的发型，不好看的脸，粗鄙的语言，目中无人的眼光，沙雕的乐队名操骷髅？不感兴趣的主题死亡重金属，实在提不起劲
段子一个个都长在了节点上 有燃有笑 一往无前的视死如归 才是重金属精神🤟🤟
居然能我让我对重金属产生一种强烈的代入感，这片做到了。
嗯，好看……在超高颜值和才艺的支撑下恣意张扬！当然：乐团大战的金牌队长家里有保安把守的庄园，银牌队长老爸是整型外科医生～拿白金百夫长信用卡宠儿子，买乐器一笔就一万三千多……美元啊！
