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.

当年说网大粗制滥造都能骗到钱，今天告诉你，骗到钱以后才会越来越好😁
看了20%，开始快进，看到60%，开始加速，看到80%，才开始正儿八经的看。后面确实不错，但前面也是真的拉胯，导演不太擅长讲故事。
最后，个人很不喜男女主的感情戏，穷屌丝逆袭白富美的老套意淫情节着实令人生厌。Y
高度类型化的故事 时代元素强 叙事非常紧凑毫不拖沓 不仅不低端不造作 甚至相较于很多院线来讲也有很多新鲜的呈现效果
故事情节虽然老套，cp也是毫无看点。但是游戏是真的爽
若不是网大的身份、炒作起来方便，这片子连5分都不知道有没有……
结尾高潮【他装起来了，他装起来了……】
网大中的佼佼者，跟年初发财日记似的，都是低预期，惊喜回报。这部电影后半段拍出了电竞的紧张刺激感，所以还是不错的！当然，也没吹的那么牛逼，营销看来也是下了点功夫的。
1、虽然有些粗糙，但游戏还原度和对电竞的真爱明显大于几部电竞外衣电视剧的总和。2、导演很喜欢AC/DC
我是玩吃鸡游戏的，这么燃的，首次遇见。作为一部网络大电影，我觉得可以给7.5分，主要原因我实在是太爱周星驰了。电影的主线故事就是标准的《长江七号》混杂着《少林足球》，在国内喜剧片摒弃周星驰式喜剧的工整结构掌控，全盘被麻花带偏之后，网大创作者，或者是从小看周星驰电影长大的创作者在网大中似乎在认真的拙劣的模仿着，显然这部电影模仿的很不错。当然优点很明显，缺点也不容忽视，为了迎合市场，电影中武戏的占比很高，最后三十分钟，其实早早就干掉了大boss，此时完全就是撑剧情而增加太多的武戏。除此之外电影基本上没有什么可以挑剔的，故事流畅，亲情线与自我励志线贯穿的很好，父子之间的互动，很中二，但是很生活。最最重要的是，作为网络电影，居然还很有电影感。蛮推荐的，就是披着吃鸡外壳的励志温情电影。
作为网大已经算是呕心沥血了
平底锅决战这段解说我给满分！太有带入感了！我想说就这不比《博人传》燃啊？！做为电竞类电影可太给人惊喜感了！所有游戏画面实景拍摄、真人出演，这才是真正值得看的电竞电影！
虽然名字有点中二，但是作为一部网大竟然出乎意外的好，道具用心虽然明显能看出来是水弹玩具，但416、AWM、SCAR都体现出来了，甚至后来抢了空投竟然还有AUG和狗杂。包括假车库、劝架这样的专有名词也能如实还原，真是一部良心之作。
“虽然咱家不富裕，但咱们过得开心。”有肖汉这样三观超正的爸爸，肖太阳跟着他也错不了，将父子关系处成朋友般，那这个父亲做的是真不差，挺羡慕这样的父子关系的。
超年轻的团队给了观众造梦的可能。
我真的做好了看一部烂片的准备，没想到是个大大的惊喜。本以为是吃鸡同人，想着只要比怪物猎人好看我也就满意了，没想到不单单有虚拟视角，还有亲情与爱，热血与燃烧！！而且整个故事很完整！（小声感谢导演删了30分钟感情戏谢谢电子竞技不需要哈哈哈）我吹一波嗷！！！
情节还是有些老套，但叙事方式挺新颖。怎么这样子就会有富家女亲嘴的？
嚯，网大要是都像这种质量，那该多好，拍的真不错，各种细节很还原游戏，比如车内不能开枪，还有不少笑点。
确实比现在院线上的一些垃圾好点儿，好歹是能讲个完整的故事，即便这故事有些老套。
总的来说其实是个标准的体育片败犬逆袭的故事，连父子危机都是最标准的类型叙事。当然，能执行到这个程度本来就不容易，A故事B故事人物弧光完成得都不错（当然，配角弱了点）。游戏部分，我感觉其实比好莱坞那一票真人游戏电影都拍得好……虽然特效肉眼可见的贫穷，但是很多镜头执行还是很不错的，比如追车戏几个无人机镜头。另外，音乐方面，明显抄了社交网络。《在妖王宫中》那段剪辑，导演认真的学习了大卫芬奇，点赞。
