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.

是的，我好像就是喜欢这种“房子美女大夜灯惊悚片”，不知道跟我宅有没有关系。 女主要是再有逻辑一点，再聪明一点，可以再细思极恐一点就更好了，最后这个点不够爆…地铁站塑料袋那我很喜欢！
一直在等待惊吓，大部分都在失望，最后10分钟可以了。
[20220623 下载]男主角觉得自己不能为女主角做什么,女主角也想不到男主角可以为她做什么,搬家啊,这么简单????
最后女主反杀 帅气！男性凝视真的让人气死了，拍出了所有女生的恐惧
结尾像是导演怕观众说女主被害妄想症而强加上去的
看到开头说会保护你就知道这丈夫多半没啥用处了……
其实还可以，面对男友的不信任，自己单干，最后假死反杀，小反转，小惊喜，大快人心
没一点意思。女主角演的跟精神病一样，遇到问题不主动处理，自己吓自己。男主角怂样一个，整个房子难道不知道安个窗帘？恐怖依赖病人的演技，剧情都不是来自正常人的视角！
不是很理解為什麼海報非得跟偷窺者那麼像 總的來說是一部女性非常能體會的驚悚片 可惜故事多少有點單薄
比起2021年9月上映的美国影片《偷窥者》差了好几个档次。
虽然很不喜欢女主前期的懦弱，但这就是本世纪全球女性的处境，男人明明自己迟钝还要职责别人敏感，还要按头让女人当疯子。女主很幸运，能捡了别人的枪反杀，我们呢？
女的好厉害，如果是我觉得有人跟踪我。我绝对不会那么好奇，什么都想查个究竟！
看了二十分钟，为什么女主晚上都不拉窗帘（包括做爱的时候），就是为了强行契合主题 ，接受不了。
关注女性安全问题。结尾做了几处反转还是很有可看性的，氛围感做得好。
在被孤立的环境里面，女主在不被信任的情况下，完全可以录声音，拍照片，拍视频来记录，而不是一味地和观众玩心理战，最后还整出被割喉后还绝命反击拔枪击毙凶手。
不知道有多少对本地现状的描绘。
女主也太绝了！这一手反转没想到呀！帮好友报了仇也惩罚了施暴者，舒服舒服！
男人都是软蛋！不要为了男人放弃自己的事业，你会变得不幸！（可是我大爱这部电影阴冷的氛围）
如果这件事发生在现实生活中，或许我也会觉得女主有点小题大做。所以导演用这部影片告诉所有男人，任何时候都不要忽略一个女人的第六感，片尾女主的眼神已经传达了一切。
7/10 。男人是不会理解女性在发现跟踪狂以后内心的绝望无助和恐惧的！
