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.

bebe rexha的出现比整部戏更让我惊讶
这片应该叫人质的自救 虽然黄政民演得是自己 但比刘德华演得好多了
与其说这是一部警匪片，不如说是民匪片，警察的作用不大，黄政民展示了他强大的智慧和出神入化的演技。在这么生死一线的求生危机中，黄政民所表现出来的善良和修养还是让人感觉到温暖。
女主这个渣男老公真的好烦人，早离早解脱。就是很佩服总能找到各种优惠的人，希望他们能开班教学
头一次见这种以现实人物及事件为原型同时改编形式则选用“与现实脱节”式纯幽默浮夸喜剧风格的电影。
边运动边看的，还算有趣，但不是我想要的阴森森的亚当斯一家……
喜欢一些无厘头喜剧，每次到loser二人组就没有bgm笑死我了
挺欢乐的片子。女主的斗志，美国邮政的强大都令人印象深刻
感觉对话不是很好懂啊，还得慢慢啃.it doesn't matter how you get to the finish line. just as long as you get there
把那么另类有趣的亚当斯一家，整得如此大众且乏味，真是叫人大跌眼镜。
最搞笑的纪实改编，这犯罪都弄出励志感来了，真是来钱道千千万，别人不在乎的点也许能发财，不管在哪，你有本事坑资本家你就是英雄……
把一个被丈夫漠视的家庭主妇和三流屌丝销售员姐妹靠造假优惠券翻身致富的欺诈故事拍的很有意思，我看到女性自我掌控生活的力量，爽感喜感兼具，别杠所谓的三观和假正义
小成本制作，逃亡之前都相当沉闷，演反派的寸头好像是熟脸了，经常演这种阴婺的角色。
挺好的故事，就是什么都过了那么一点，就像mcu本来可以恰好但总是过那么一点
挺搞笑的，薅羊毛最高境界，买卖军火洗黑钱，是个绝顶聪明的主意
失望，黄政民你不应该是为没有好本子发愁的演员啊？
吾家有女初长成之哥特少女Wednesday的青春期心事 被野心反派顶上利用虽然是典型动画电影的套路 我倒是不介意用在亚当斯一家身上 Lurch弹琴小细嗓哈哈哈哈哈 Fester变成章鱼之后身上还有油花反光的效果天啊 依旧日常式姐弟相杀和满满的吐槽梗 每个人都是不可或缺的唯一 有比亚当斯一家更温馨快落幸福的家庭吗 每次响起bgm都无比激动兴奋
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
这部影片是根据史上最大的优惠券造假案改变而成的，题材有趣，可能有的人会说他们这是偷盗，这是诈骗，他们是罪犯，可细细一想，他们好像并没有祸害别人，反而薅了资本家的羊毛，为不少老百姓节省了生活开支，这算不算是新世纪劫富济贫的罗宾汉呢？
目前IMDB评分6.1/785票，字幕已完成，转战下一个
