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.

低配版的两个月亮。。鬼都可以有双重人格了。
韩式驱魔来一点 废弃大楼探险来一点 时空交错和时空穿越来一点 有各种片的影子 但啥也没说好 逻辑各种混乱 导演都圆不上了
爱情线没什么意思，十有八九是牵强附会，巴黎版墙头马上，最后还cp脑地将埃菲尔铁塔的A形结构和Adrinne的A联系起来，简直是败笔中的败笔，简直玷污结构力学之美。但是，埃菲尔铁塔的建造过程很有意思，Gustuve Eiffel本人在建筑结构上取得的成就非常令人敬佩和鼓舞，会让人短暂忘记生活中的柴米油盐，找回一些年轻时如“横渠四句”般的豪情壮志。// 6/6/2022 感觉不是很吸引人的样子，但图个清静吧。
2022年6月30日观看。中规中矩吧，女主角有味道。
本来想给2星，最后，1星吧……故弄玄虚到最后我也没看明白，非要去送命？
介绍写的不准确，应该是艾菲尔铁塔背后的偷情故事，法国人这脑袋里面装的全是情爱这些事，画面还行，6.3
穿越的有点扯，通灵还穿越了。恐怖氛围还行，和昆池岩比差多了
各种元素都有出现，丧尸感都出来了，开始以为时空穿越，两拨人遇见，后来觉得嗯第一波可能是死了，后来又发现男主也是死了，鬼鬼窝里斗，然后男主妹妹也来了估计也是个死，谁都逃不出。
原以为会有更多篇幅讲述项目搭建过程中的困难，结果是一部爱情片……
进入封闭空间的死循环，其实本可以拍得很好的，但剪辑得一塌糊涂。
基本黑觑麻孔看不清在干嘛 大叔你这个水平还不如你妈 你妈都劝你别去了 你还拿个金刚杵进去 另外真的不要作死去这种地方玩 不然可能就没有恐怖片看了
每一位死去的灵，都被困在一段死前的时间，并不断重复着死亡的整个过程。
艾菲尔铁塔背后的爱情故事，画面很美，故事有点单薄。
鬼屋版的恐怖游轮，拍的不错细节挺多，演技也全员在线。
基本黑觑麻孔看不清在干嘛 大叔你这个水平还不如你妈 你妈都劝你别去了 你还拿个金刚杵进去 另外真的不要作死去这种地方玩 不然可能就没有恐怖片看了
恐怖片就像放了辣椒素的廉价外卖 偶尔吃一吃很爽 但是没什么营养 吃多了还对身体不好
真心一般，莫名其妙，建议去看看《墓地邂逅》，比鬼门得劲多了
怀念以前韩国恐怖片类型各异，还能开着灯拍的年代
气氛烘托到位，还有动不动jump scare
韩国混乱·闪瞎双眼·一惊一乍·寂静岭，里面的jump scary真的太老套了……
