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.

也就看看安志杰的动作戏和一阵阵的突突，都算不上是有剧情，按照连姆·尼森的营救系列，再拍个20部没问题。5
影片中还有很多历史小知识
盲铁侠和疯暴女怒破人贩集团。情节虽然太扯，但是绝对打的过瘾，这女演员眼神太赞了。不错
说实话，就开头五分钟能看，后面就一塌糊涂了，不是特效不好，而是侮辱智商。
No.2491 是设定在了哪个国家呀，真是云里雾里的。
剧情有点老套 疯批什么的真的太多了也不是好事
2021.10.3 来新开的奥体印象城的cgv来看 在大众抢的1元券不要太值！这个cgv也挺厉害有杜比 杭州三家cgv要么是IMAX要么是杜比是真厉害..
在19世纪的一座小岛上，生活着一群叫菲拉萌的甜甜圈形的小动物。其中有两只菲拉萌意外地闯入时光穿梭的入口，来到现代的中国上海，在那里，他们发现菲拉萌已经灭绝！
剧中的各种造型很加分，最后结尾还是蛮刺激。
也许做了父亲才会有如此power ，一路所向披靡！父亲节快乐吧。
故事也不错，笑点满满，又有不错的立意。
太扯了，黑社会要都是这种疯子，早自我灭绝了
甜甜圈的形象就是肚子上有个洞的仓鼠，然后因为扁扁的，所以我真是没有看出来有啥可爱的。不过我家小朋友觉得很可爱。故事就那样吧，适合小朋友。
老套的情节啊！瞎子警察复仇救女儿。可惜为什么都喜欢扮疯子。。。安志杰也没给自己好好安排几段打戏。。。
视频解说阅，真别说。这个片子应该看完整部，尽管故事没有新颖，可是动作紧张刺激，枪战画面也有漫画感，能体会到视觉的冲击力，剧荒的话可以看看的。
有功夫整什么瞎了这种无用的噱头，不如踏踏实实让安志杰拳拳到肉打个痛快
“盲”是个很好用但是又很常见、稍有不慎也会烂俗的立意点，前人的经典太多，无论是法国的《调音师》还是印度翻拍的《调音师》、韩国的《盲证》抑或中国版的《我是证人》、再如杜琪峰的《盲探》，都在这一点上塑造出了经典的人物和故事。相对而言，本片还是过于粗糙了，某些情节桥段也过于离谱了，但作为网大，似乎质量已然不错了，尤其是安志杰的功力还是很扎实，而女主杨杏也很有亮点。
盲铁侠和疯暴女怒破人贩集团。情节虽然太扯，但是绝对打的过瘾，这女演员眼神太赞了。不错
安志杰都45了，时间好快。
安志杰一直都不容易。动作好，长得帅，演技不错，就是不火……女反派的动作戏也还行。开头六分钟还是很帅的。故事毕竟网大，还是拉垮。演员都有点用力过猛。动作设计不错，还可以。各种镜头，明显的捧女主啊。女主的人设也很二啊……
