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.

题材新颖，恐怖元素也不错，特效再“精美”些就完美了。但我觉得经过磨难的小修女受到上帝转移比较符合剧情。
被一首Dover beach 安利 最近需要看轻喜剧 男主身材好好啊 🥵
看到一半zha成丧尸片儿😅啊呀吓死我了。最后twist有点子意思，vtc抗议没啊好奇🤔
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。
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……。🤪🤣
不过脑子的小妞电影，又忆起青春岁月追剧的时光。只是，现在只我一人喜怒哀乐～
男女主演是现实中的一对吗？不然就是演的太好了。
“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”
激情戏居然拍得还不错诶。穿着打扮办公室场景有都市喜剧的感觉，主要是台词，可以扩充一下单词库。
本来就很犹豫看不看驱魔的 这部看完后又对驱魔片的反感加了浓墨重彩的一笔…有一定的新意 都在后面 前面充斥各种老套的喊叫 就感觉谁的声音大谁就能干过对方一样 这个神父也真是弱的可以 …对于国外邪教的 驱魔的我好像一直没对胃口 这部耶稣与恶魔的错综复杂我没太懂 也懒得懂了
墨西哥电影，一部非常邪典的驱魔，整部电影十分流畅，而且惊悚场景不少，尤其是传导的意思跟普通驱魔片有很大不同，值得一看，7分。
反向驱魔,有点意思.看了眼台湾的译名,<神鬼驱魔令>...果然很呆蛙
梵蒂冈也被渗透了
中心思想很棒！恶魔和上帝势均力敌，善恶一念不必细分
其实挺有意思的，结尾预留了可继续伸展的空间，新的故事也将开启。期待续集。
史上第一次神父和恶魔互相驱 两方比谁嗓门大那块真给我逗乐了 情节设置的有些摸不着头脑 看完后自己在大脑中理了一遍才有些头绪了 对老外脸盲所以刚开始总分不清谁是谁 开头要是交代清楚了女儿 男主和男主妻子就好了 妻子来了又说什么男主几周前对不起过她 怎么都不明白 还有决战前说从未见过女儿 那么大一个人就在狱牢里关着怎么没见过？不过可以用恶魔附身来解释 也许男主就是18年没见过女儿真正的人格呢 结局的反转挺让人惊讶的 这个主教原来早就是巴尔班的信徒了 男主的女儿也回到原身里而是被天堂派的附身了 这算是伏笔吗 天堂地狱要开战了？
整体不好看，但确实有新意有亮点，而且高潮段非常乐。

你离上帝有多近 就离魔鬼有多近
近几年来拍的算很有创意的片子了。恶魔和牧师对着驱魔笑死我了
