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.

还可以，编剧不错，但是剧情有点赶，而且中间不太连贯
碰个拳！这是地球的风俗习惯，代表着牢不可破的诺言。
实在是不想说话，没见过这么烂的片子！纯靠特效，剧情稀烂，黑人一点儿不出彩…成色垃圾，不推荐
游戏改编，剧情比较低龄，就是动物版的超级英雄，超人总动员+闪电侠+万磁王+万神殿+复仇者联盟……总之就是总有映照，看着玩就好。金凯瑞还是那么表情丰富。
除了看三只卡通生物的游戏元素外，唯一能激起我兴趣的估计只剩下金凯瑞的蛋头博士了，可能真是找来了蛋头本人。塔尔斯好可爱！
我一开始在想，这个普普通通的有着英雄梦的至尊宝有什么好喜欢的，但是看下去，才发现，这种平淡的相守，也许就是我们最终的追求。
在没什么期待前提下，比第一部更吸引人。少了新人首次出场时的背景描述，和手忙脚乱闯祸的老套无趣环节，第二部直接进入冒险的世界，反派博士也足够戏多抢眼，说着一嘴不常见的措辞语句也挺有趣，甚至戏份看点超过了索尼克。
金凱瑞比索尼克可愛，無人機現在是武器的最高形態了麽。
我是来看美女的，王晶若叫紫霞演周芷若，青霞演丁敏君，是否会比成片的鬼样子要好很多……
主题很明晰 但不是那种说教式的说出来 而是通过一场场戏推出来的：齐天大圣只是一个名字 每个人都可以是齐天大圣
这片延续了上部的娱乐性，金凯瑞还是最大的亮点，画面依旧贫穷，部分情节，比如Rachel的婚礼部分真的可以删掉，因为和主线调性节奏甚至故事完全没关系，这片受众就是小孩子，小孩子真的能懂被骗感情的笑料么？真的，俩小时太长了。最后彩蛋出来倒是有不少观众欢呼，希望还有下部吧。
比第一部更难看的程度，剧情很有年代感，基本上就是红绿灯大战蛋头机甲战士，外加爸爸妈妈一家亲
上一部一句“他是我朋友”让索尼克满血复活，这一部一句“我也爱你们”让翡翠宝石给了索尼克力量，原来友情和亲情的力量才是最强大的，全宇宙都吃那一套。
女主选的不错，故事勉强能看，做为达叔谢幕作给了不少镜头，好感度加两星
机器人挺有喜感，但是剧情很老套就是那种一开始我就知道结局的那种……
蘑菇星蛋头博士红针鼹，超级英雄工作，绿丘镇，沃卓斯基家，钓鱼，去夏威夷参加婚礼，蛋头博士攻击，双尾狐狸，逃，去寻宝（长爪藏宝图），西伯利亚酒馆斗舞，雪山无人机大战，婚礼，小岛神庙大战，绿宝石，博士升级，机械巨人。动画部分，和大场景好看，真人部分无聊且很省钱的样子。
索尼克好可愛！蛋頭博士好可愛！大家都好可愛！哈哈哈
小成本，服化道特效差点。
其他两首插曲，也还可以，不出戏！
挺好，编剧和导演再磨练磨练，加油！！！女主有灵气，别整容哈，棒
