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.

古恩对迪士尼漫威政治正确的怨念，和华纳DC对自己以往胡改合家欢剧本过于迫切的纠正需求一拍即合，于是就搞出了这么个B级版银河护卫队。DC真是精神分裂啊。
And，其他几位罗宾可以往后稍稍了，因为罐罗才是老爷最爱的罗宾。
为什么对比某导心里没点逼数？是哪群人从确立导演后一直在喷的，喷回你属于是大快人心
爆笑如雷，谁曾想到有一天手撕鬼子能在超英片里发挥巨大作用，除了对老鼠恐惧症，密集恐惧症和血浆恐惧症的观众不太友好以外，总体来说简直是这个夏天最解压的爽片，哈莉实在美炸了！尤其是出逃那段全片最佳！对唯一横跨漫威和DC的滚导致敬，看了第一部几乎不觉得这系列能被救活，没想到那么棒。滚导可真的是个集合了邪恶与天真的恶童鬼才导演呐~希望还能继续两边都拍~~
超能英雄B级片，杀戮无限番茄汁。小丑女全场最佳大女主。各种影射反讽堪称老阴阳师。这还不得四星咩～
带着侄女一起观看的我，错了；最有好感的角色不出意外地，便当了；而人类养宠物的愿望，已经膨胀到想要养鲨鱼了，是的，看完谁不想要个鲨鱼王。
近期备受好评的超英新作，就这？资方制片方发行方于旧有的制作模式之中，让渡了一部分编剧权、表演权，就脱胎换骨了？这一点反差才是最好笑的。
那个塔让我想起了萨鲁曼双塔奇兵里的白塔。同样都是科技兴国，一个是外星怪物，一个是克隆半兽人。再说了，有了防弹鲨鱼人和高维度病毒这种神奇的存在，为什么还要在意那些外星海星呢？把一大群神奇的人当炮灰。最后那个海星太萌了。简直有爱，这么大的眼睛。最后用老鼠穿透眼睛真的吐了。
强烈推荐观赏。就喜欢这种略带点恶趣味的黑色幽默动作电影。滚导果然在《银河护卫队》后不负众望，继续拿出一盘好菜。
我会因为whistle for the choir 加一星
剧情真相了丑国的伪民主和帅锅技能，有丑化穷国家的嫌疑🚬小丑女的戏份都美的挺有氛围的，童话杀戮的美感。ps花枝鼠很可爱噢。
詹姆斯·古恩 被迪士尼炒魷魚後過檔來了這邊拍攝的這部片。實話他適合拍攝這類型，血腥和暴力的美展現到了，故事也比較搞笑抵死。笑點還是挺多的。開場介紹人物沒有過長，用這種手法介紹人物時間短而又明確。這些確實很厲害！DC這次算是拿到個高評分了~不過這部自殺小隊我認為就算沒有小丑女這個角色，其實也一樣會很好看。估計是因為小丑女人氣高，所以還是添加進去故事裡面罷了。在她和那橋段真的和故事內容有顯然突兀。血腥運動，老鼠女，這兩個角色飾演得特別生動，他們的角色故事全部在電影裡面很快的讓觀眾能吸收到。而鯊魚人這個蠢萌角色也是搞笑暴力擔當之一，還有再魚缸裡面時候對著小怪物直到回頭被咬，被軍人槍擊。它帶有（童真，被歧視，沒朋友，異類）立馬能展現。波點人他的憤怒，被媽媽做實驗。看到的景象都是他媽。這些都是很好的！
波点——恐怖的母子关系
分级：R
DC的这个重口度+搞笑方式绝了，我这个漫威粉突然就爱了！
结尾的打斗升华。杀戮过程太过血腥，非常不适应，最后的老鼠勇战海星更甚。相比之下，还是喜欢正常的DC超级英雄的故事。
漫威开了詹姆斯滚以后，DCEU立马见缝插针，给人更大的创作空间，总算拍了一部让DCEU扬眉吐气的电影。先让他瞎搞一个小时，各式各样的反套路，你以为勇度过去演男主角结果开场暴毙。渣导的《自杀小队》是哈莉奎茵一枝独秀，滚导的《自杀小队》是反英雄遍地开花。看完你会爱上史泰龙演的鲨鱼王，又蠢又萌胃口又好。
3.5。极度舒适。而且人家也有各种表达，正义使者和有良心的老鼠。“对白宫来说，敌国的陷落也算促进自身的发展了”。（但是最后老鼠这个感觉吧，唔……）
7//确实远远超出第一部，在如今商业大片江河日下的大环境里，愿意好好写剧情、好好写对话、好好整反转、好好思考他美龌龊肮脏一面的片子，竟然也会让我想要起立鼓掌。不如说这部才是哈利奎因的个人传记，着墨虽然不多但是饱满且有趣。
还行。反套路其实也在套路化，好在一句peacemaker就是一个笑话。
