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.

观感不错，大概就是古装女版john wick，但相比john wick来说动作戏还是比较差，女主太丑了，那个越南裔还不错，一个好看的亚裔正面角色太罕见了，总体本片还不错
公主复仇记，打戏密集且有力度，开挂又如何？王子复仇一挑N没有叽歪，咋换成女性就逼逼了呢，不想嫁就不嫁，王位本来就是她的，重男轻女害死人。剧情很弱但我看的挺带感的，是爽片。。。
中世纪公主复仇版《突袭》，武术动作设计还行，力度不够。
90分钟有2/3都是动作戏，不是在打架就是打架的路上。一路升级打怪到战胜boss的弱智剧情，女主更是开挂pk全凭蛮力没一点头脑
有点成龙在家具城的感觉，最残废的国王，有这么厉害的公主吗，原来是有中国功夫的师傅，胖点可以保命
找资源真的很累 韩宫真的很帅 拉箭100分
虽然全程从头打到尾，从顶楼打到底层，公主太弱小，看得也好累！
公主版《突袭》。但相差太大了，一个看不到一块肌肉的柔弱公主，半道加一个只是面相飒爽的东方女武师，前前后后干掉一整支军队！重装武士简直是案板上的猪肉片，各种杂兵花样作死，整个过程就像打怪升级，太可笑了。动作已经做到极致，但和那种肌腱紧绷、拳拳到肉、刀刀见血、枪枪爆头的动作电影来比，实在不够意思。另外，乌克兰真是不行，难得出一个邦女郎，居然沦落到在电影里演个恶女配角，有点可惜了。
为了韩孝周看的，好好看但演技好尬，但是武打花絮里她能做引体向上诶。feel sad for吴世勋的粉丝和李光洙。韩国古装片到目前为止还没看过一个好的，怎么一碰古装质量就这么差？
片子在特效上花大力气了，呈现的效果挺好，有的片段特效很震撼；动作设计也不错。观影过程中感到不爽的原因，就是见不得从头至尾演员们扯着嗓子大喊大叫、声嘶力竭的，是不是因为担心大海之中海浪声淹没了自己的声音？其实，为了提升喜剧效果，未必非得装疯卖傻似的吼叫不可。看在制作技术投入和演员卖了大力的面子上，还是应该给打上三星。6.5分。
整的跟游戏似的，就一直在那边闯关一样打小怪打精英怪打小boss和最后的反派大boss
前半段的剪辑有点混乱，而且情节很一般，最后一段才开始燃起来。光洙对于搞笑的角色驾轻就熟，仿佛在看RM；姜河那本片演技最佳
【道具/布景/细节】：5.6
立意不错，但是台词太少全是动作戏，一下子就走神大半程
竟然比我想象的好看。
让女神演这么二逼的电影，权男神的肌肉还是一如既往的牛逼
没有第一部好，不过秉承了其喜剧风格，特效有进步
没有啥情节，最后的一众雇佣兵为啥只剩下两个头领？？所以不要深究细节了，把它当成一个复仇的爽片看就好了。亚洲人出演了正面角色确实很不错，看到了杨紫琼当年的身影，哈哈哈哈给个4⭐吧！
越南导演替hulu拍的网大，第一场打斗设计的不错，剧情也就这样了。称之为女性觉醒电影比较合适，整片场景设计类似于游戏关卡。最后斩首的镜头没有拍好
上一次看这么带感的电影还是《硬核亨利》。4星给直接。没有连篇累牍的文戏，上来就干，通篇流畅打斗。公主敏系定位，全程开挂，长镜头动作戏调皮又灵活快意，游戏感强，细节又足够R，真要说遗憾就是缺了个连续换装。要是《美少女特工队》、《花木兰》这么痛快，又岂会风评仆仆。
