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.

低成本 高效果 国产悬疑能拍成这样 很欣慰啊
你永远不知道身边最爱你的人会变成什么样子
三个主演在不同平行空间里的展现出了不同的性格
无数个平行空间穿越，结果乱套的脑洞，不算特别新，《彗星来的那一夜》类似。情节显得比较匮乏，元素太单调了。
居然是个网大？你让那些恨不得负分的洗钱之作，颜面何存。景色很美，故事有细节，虽然有很多不完美，但是就像刚刚看到的，国产小成本做成这样，这种认真的态度不值得褒扬和祝福吗？！
感兴趣真的可以支持一下！
片如其名，虽然小制作却有很多小细节，非常开放式的开头以及结尾，有趣有趣～21.11.18
想到了很多年前看过的一部电影《前目的地》，都挺好看的。
一看就是低成本电影，演员少，场景少，剧情类似"彗星来的那一夜"，但是整体完成度还不错，可以看看。
摄影和光配乐还是不错的，拟音做的一般，很多地方衔接处有点生硬，男主女主台词功底一般般，听着尴尬看着也尴尬，看过这类型的电影不难理解，但是看着不无聊，还是挺精彩的，对于小成本拍摄时间短已经很好了，支持郑导。
刚开始觉得演员表演的好神经质，第二个男主还娘娘的，没想到其实是不一样的人，那这些神经的表演也可能是刻意为之，时空错乱的人们。
好久没看到让人动脑子的悬疑剧本了，真真让人看的酣畅淋漓。故事是从失去孩子的母亲开始，以一个科幻的角度出发让这位可怜的母亲得到了救赎。我们都知道:法律是道德的底线，但对于施加者和承受者来说都是远远不够去审判的。
希望以后中国科幻也可以往这种类型深耕，不用堆钱拍那么多大场面，也许能创造出我们自己的科幻新概念。
2.音乐较差，太过沉重的配乐，导致整个影片节奏都太过沉闷。
低成本软科幻片，全程三位演员，仅有别墅和森林这两处主要场景，制作成本可谓肉眼可见的低。再说剧情，森林是平行世界的入口，因为执念而反复穿越，最终再也无法回去。
成本很低，几乎三个演员就够了，女主演技还可以，男主看上去演技有点尬，但是也演出了不同性格，还算可以。
这是一部只拍了20天的电影，但是在剧本和选角还有这个镜头捕捉下了很大的功夫。在这里真的很想呼吁一句，请求各位导演，能不能把请漂亮非演员的这个钱好好的拍场电影吧。
也是一件好事。
戒指是有什么想法么
