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.

就那样吧！认错导演了！里面的贫嘴笑点都是凯文哈特感的。
难得碰到一部戏的男女主角都是相当性感的演员。
有点小意外，但是剧情套路，有些情节太刻意了。没有故意来这里的借口，只有想碰见想见的人。
创新度上很难及格，导演本来就拍过《杀手的保镖》这种套路化的拍档动作喜剧，凯文哈特也演过很多这样的角色，几乎成了特型演员，好在跟伍迪对戏还能有一些化学反应，呕吐那一段我是笑喷了。后半段伍迪跳舞那场戏非常画龙点睛，一下就让这个角色扎实丰满了。杰出的杀手必定生活单调沉闷，诙谐loser却总能被平凡的生活和人眷顾
随便点进去看的 结果发现 太适合现在的我看了吧！看完会脸带微笑的那种💁🏻♀️（女主的橙绿搭配太喜欢了呼呼～
当爱情小品来看，放轻松，让别人he的故事静静在记忆中流淌。
还没有烂透的梗堆在一起 有一种诱人有难闻的味道
就是我喜欢看的轻松快乐暴力片啦。FBI的Santoro出场自带音乐，哈哈哈。居然还有这种服务。最帅的24小时陪伴服务。😆
有趣更胜《王牌保镖》，性感不输杰森·郭达。
两个主角之间的化学反应不错 一部还可以的动作喜剧 轻松搞笑

经典的白脸黑脸搞笑动作片，好久没有看过自然流畅有笑点的动作喜剧了。
剧情实在是没什么可说的，就是傻得可以。
Netflix大数据，除了动作外基本上一无是处，好像原本主演会靠向R级？可能这样会更有看头些；另外Penny真是演谁都是Penny。
男一杀手切榴莲的装备特别专业超喜欢 而且他的榴莲菜一看就好吃要是开饭馆我一定去
很符合现代的爱情故事，全钟瑞和孙锡久都好爱！但是现实生活中，这样的女生遇上这样的男孩子的几率真的好渺小啊……
这片是不是讽刺了好莱坞的性别政治正确？这一点给个好评
就，一般般能看吧。这个哈特的戏路还真的是挺定型的？感觉之前看过他的电影演的角色也都这么个性格
拷问的时候吐在了对方身上真的是让我笑死了，但除了这么几个好笑的桥段，什么都没有了。
33min女主管问“我们怎么会跟丢他”？你这问题问的，前线就一个人跟着男主能不丢？那帮在博物馆监视的人在干嘛？别人离场了他们还在博物馆是吧
