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.

为妻报仇，千里追凶
6.4，作为网大，还是良心的，但剧本没有多少惊喜，鸡肋，食之无味，弃之可惜。
千万不要接奇怪的电话，如果提及金钱那么就立即挂断电话。
见识到了如此大规模有组织的电信诈骗 真的让人防不胜防…所以遇到任何事一定要冷静 不能乱了方寸！
开头看的我毛骨悚然，骗子研究心理学，真是防不胜防。
无论是服化道还是故事情节都堪称完美，打的凌厉潇洒，而且没有一点多余的狗屁爱情，如果片子里面再仔细表达一下鸦片吞噬人心的吸烟画面就更好了
呸！
看完就得下国家反诈APP
虎门销烟的故事 客服其他官员和英商找到鸦片 销毁
动不动韩国的每部电影都是票房冠军，韩国的票房冠军水分太大了吧！
其实是个好题材，但拍的一般，在韩国电影里不太能行，里面的大师演的提好的😂
呸！
题材成熟了，作品的下限就高了。6分有点富裕。但怎么着也不够8。得空看看没啥问题，专门看看不太值得。
这是值得观赏学习借鉴的电影，大家可以通过电影详细展示看到电话网络骗术如何施展。主角（前警察）的妻子被电话诈骗损失惨重，主角呈孤胆英雄之雄威，冒命悬一线之风险，打入诈骗集团之核心，一举击破活跃于东亚地区的某大型诈骗集团，帮了警察大忙，报了一己之私仇。最后被警局破格复用，专门打击电话网络诈骗犯罪分子。
题材成熟了，作品的下限就高了。6分有点富裕。但怎么着也不够8。得空看看没啥问题，专门看看不太值得。
韩国电影确实比较敢拍，电信诈骗题材值得一拍。
上学的时候只是知道虎门销烟，从来没有细想过销烟的难度。禁毒从来不是一时一刻，是一直的坚持。
一个人干翻整个盘根错节的犯罪行业 然后有男主有几个镜头很像张国荣
有点老美的个人英雄主义色彩，不过总体还是蛮不错的，对于大众防骗还是有很多借鉴意义的。
拍的蛮好的，那些给分低就是因为黑化大陆了？
