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.

建立呼叫中心，窃取个人信息，编写诈骗剧本，构建孤立情境，组队变号忽悠，到账取现洗钱。。各个环节都可以专业到令人心寒啊，你以为自己足够警觉百毒不侵，其实只是没碰上足够好的本子和团队。。故事太过戏剧化，但值得翻拍上院线，让更多的人升级防范意识。。
Wc看完来豆瓣一看才发现反派是金凯瑞，这老哥潜力无限啊。
我看到线上已经放出来了，先看看吧
这个反派的机器人造型太让人想起反浩克装甲了。
西安和沈阳 还有一两句蹩脚的中文 是个啥？
其实吧，神庙迷宫那段陷阱机关挺好的，很有游戏的感觉，可惜就那么一丢丢，剩下的就是那些老掉牙的伐木累了……22.05.23
虽然但是，中国人跑去国外骗身在中国的同胞这件事，还有人不知道吗？动不动就人家抹黑你，也不想想自己的国家网络技术多么高超，诱骗技能多么纯熟，我都觉得现在没几个人身边没遇到过电信诈骗的了吧？
再补充一点：金凯瑞的表演，实在担得起“喜剧之王”的称号！！！！！因为，在本片里，就已经是证明了！！！！！哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈
很欢乐，
两星给画面，其他的不要问，能想出的词他都没有。
3.5。 主题还是很有时效性的，但是公益广告拍这么长未免浪费社会资源。 再者说，你讲电信诈骗就诈骗，老打架干什么。
一般般，融了挺多的梗。舞出我人生5那一段倒是把咱逗乐了～另外动作戏份也还行，雪山那段挺刺激的。除此以外就纯血的pg向了，剧情以及人物塑造都过于子供向。。。真人部分还有点尬。。。
一个警察，为了多挣点钱，辞职后去工地搬砖；家属被电信诈骗后，自己潜入呼叫中心，为了不骗人扯掉电话线，没有业绩竟然没有被打残；大批韩国警察竟然带枪进入中国执法，这是多么的扯蛋啊。
只能说能看…但这种题材这可是韩影啊，什么时候也变得这么不痛不痒磨磨唧唧了
一部幼齿向影片的最大亮点居然是反派的表演，你就知道肯定是哪里出了问题……
虽然这两点都不错，但是架不住剧情低幼，套路满满。而且这是一部少数让人很烦主角，喜欢反派的电影。我最喜欢蛋头博士的小跟班，人比刺猬索尼可爱多了。
7.1,题材加一星-编剧能再细腻一点就好了。电梯内打斗拍的有点燥
可以当成一部电信诈骗的反诈宣传片，就和警察在片尾说的一样，千万别接奇怪的电话，一提到钱就赶紧挂电话。
I’m too old to watch this.
金大神还是稳定输出，三星没跑~嘴碎的Sonic吐槽各种流行文化，哈哈哈，希望看到他和Dead Pool拌嘴~全片配乐也是恰到好处~蛋蛋博士组成的大机器人还有一张说明书，也是当年游戏卡带说明书的样子，还有蛋蛋博士助手在选蛋蛋博士皮肤时也有游戏经典形象，彩蛋太多~
