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.

《善地》演员再合作，除了两位女主，还有那个医生，哈哈。
颜色艳丽的山下小镇终于变成潇洒公路片可以加一星了，但是章鱼大战鸡实在离谱，总觉得不是暗黑哥特更像是是神偷奶爸，毛球儿可不就是没理发的小黄人吗。
冷饭，就着爆米花和快乐肥宅水服下，无脑小白片，看看热闹，怀怀旧，FIN...
不太行……可惜了这么好的ip。还是那个问题：桥段不能代替情节
判得出乎意外的低
失望......一星给主题曲一星给亲切的大瀑布
优惠券造假骗局居然正能量满满 我觉得真不错
咸鱼翻身的另类案例，片子风格适当轻松，人物演绎很有特点，导演剧情节奏把握很好，片子看的很喜欢，赞！
影片翻拍自2015年刘德华《解救吾先生》，讲述黄政民饰演的巨星黄政民在电影放映会后被绑架，狡猾狂妄的绑匪要求他支付天价赎金，黄政民为了生存而拼死逃命的故事……棒子翻拍就是多了疯批搞土炸弹💣的情节
这个动画是真的不太行，第一部就不怎么样。还不如真人版。
薅神，我辈楷模，薅无止境，自强不息，止于至薅。。瞄了下原型，惯犯，无卖惨人设，优惠卷是私印，电影淡化美化喜剧化，让大家更容易共情。。以及虽然这桩的确轻判，后来的模仿犯就没那么好运了，嗯，薅还要乘早。。
没有氛围和风格化所以只剩下丑，续集剧情又更加俗套，不知为什么要续。
我去，影片开始看到女主家里存辣么多洗衣液，我真心觉得她是败家老娘们，两口之家这得要用多久啊......转头看到超市结账138美金，用折扣券省了122美金，我又觉得我踏马服了，这是高手啊！我要是后面排队那哥们，我也要说声佩服，你都可以用这方式自己开便利店了，2折买5折卖都能挣出日常消费了吧！何必去犯罪？影片开始我还有点喜欢两个女主，但越往后就越有些讨厌了，到结尾时我明白了，是因为她们的的贪得无厌让我讨厌，明明是犯法了，自己心里也很清楚，还在人前做出一副理所应当的样子，还美其名曰的跟丈夫说是事业，这也算是即当婊子又要立牌坊的行为了吧！不过整体来说，我觉得影片质量也还可以，我给4星7分！
演技都挺好 剧情拍的不如吾先生 毕竟是翻拍 很难不比较
极其工整，套路的犯罪喜剧，节奏轻快，剧情流畅，没有爆笑点，却用一种通篇轻松幽默的方式展现了整个犯罪故事，值得推荐
跟第一集问题一样，细节还成，但主线还是太不爱登士家庭了，也就最后克苏鲁大舅vs邪恶大鸡科学家能看看？
是我喜欢的带有一点骗术的剧情片 #轻松居家观影计划
和上一部一样，整体比较中规中矩，内核也与上一部差不多，如果说上一部是在表达接受他人与我们的不同，那这一部就是接受自己与其他人不同。整个故事建立在女儿觉得和家人存在格格不入的问题，但说句实话，以女儿那腹黑和虐弟弟的一面来看，真不觉得她和其他人不是一家人，同时非常不能理解的是，最后反派身份揭露的剧情推动，几乎都是靠反派自爆给女儿听，让故事显得十分尴尬和幼稚，甚至还不如第一部的剧情丝滑，而且“走遍美国”的旅行也没什么特别大的亮点，所有情节都显得非常零散和突兀，几乎全员工具人，结局还来了个Rap的MV，还要走遍全球，加上各种粉红泡泡式的配色，没了原本灰暗的基调，真让人不太知道要如何吐槽了。整体来说，也就叔叔的章鱼化比较有趣，部分音乐还不错吧。
带点爽感，但是说真的，拍喜剧不一定非得要扯屎尿屁啊，既尴尬又不适。
我真的好喜欢这个系列~但是这一部有点……没太哥特的感觉？
