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.

一开始觉得有点康斯坦丁的意思，后来那鬼的大叫突然的出现，感觉是为了吓人而吓人，驱魔的过程感觉像牧师和鬼在吵架😂谁声大谁说了最后一句谁就赢了似的，最后的结局是亮点了，算有点内涵了。
这个狗导演，每个吓人的点全是用的jump scared，每次都要看的一惊一乍，不会吓人就不要拍恐怖片好了，真的想骂脏话
有剧情不做作，编剧敢写我就敢拍的邪典电影
还可以，看过挺多驱魔的电影和美剧，这个内容还算挺新颖，神与魔只隔了一个信念，转瞬即可变换，全篇充斥着圣经内信仰与典故……最后神父变成了魔鬼，而之前的魔鬼变成了上帝的使者……
我2018年的电影《THE UNICORN》的电影配角之一，好莱坞女星LUCY HALE主演的最新浪漫喜剧电影。
尴尬癌都看出来了，驱魔跟过家家一样，剧本是小学生写的吗？一部嘴遁电影。。
上帝被驱逐 最后恶魔一句话显得正义感爆棚
什么玩意没看懂。。。最后牧师女儿成天使了？？？
突然想起了以前看过的美剧驱魔
剧情起伏安排的非常合理，从头到尾都不会无聊。傲慢与偏见内核假结婚场景设定，总体来说很有趣！
歲末寒冬爆米花佳片，回溫5度就會覺得無聊老套拖拉沒靈魂。
本片每位演员都值得获得一年金嗓子喉宝免费额度！
小鸡电影越来越不真实了，反正也不用动脑了。男主的设定不是姐妹吗？真的离谱。
外国驱鬼也太方便了，念念有词就行。我要是鬼，第一下就去割掉他的舌头。
每次看这种都觉得天堂和地狱就像某种寡头垄断然后到最后都是因为劳动力不足到人间来搞传销了🙄
上帝被附身，恶魔给神父驱神的点子该挺新鲜，但是全程无聊的鬼哭神嚎实在是太败观感，看的烦躁
老牧师也是神预言，梵蒂冈高层有内鬼，只有相信自己是上帝，是圣人，才能驱魔。
办公室轻喜剧恋情小品。恋爱的确是甜蜜的，但还是有点莫名奇妙
驱魔片一般都比较闷，因为就两招，问名字和念圣经，一顿大喊大叫，有时候好使有时候不好使，也没逻辑解释为啥好使为啥不好使，这部有一点创新，就是恶魔反过来对神父驱逐上帝，但也仅此而已，6.2
