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.

正确面对疫情的打开方式，不是歌功颂德，而是去反思，积极的应对，比较走心。
不推荐。包裹着伪记录恐怖外衣的亲情片，其实还是伪记录恐怖片的一些惯用套路，而且调度和剪辑有不少不讲究的地方，好在恐怖元素比较乡土和东方。不过，可能刚好不适合我吧，最后有一种小学时候收到诅咒信的感觉，明知道是假的，但还是很膈应人。满心欢喜看一部电影，却好像吃了一只苍蝇，晦气。
毫无代入感的恐怖片，各种超自然现象没有逻辑地堆砌，全靠一惊一乍的视觉冲击和音效在制造恐怖，这是最低级的手段。既然要主角拿着摄像机拍成伪纪录片，那就多使用长镜头吧，否则一个场景各种视角来回切换真的很出戏！
结局相当于就是“不转发xxx”。册那，什么玩意儿！
感应灯闪瞬移姑娘，心灵动画回放定格，大红灯笼活人烧烤，鬼打墙纸盆吊颈车顶，仙姑脱发反脸暴走，千手隧道无限深脸……东西怪谈+伪纪录一并乱抄，把无耳芳一都能抄成印度佛母邪神。虽然原创元素太少，但片里片外煽情营销挺会玩，各种本土化做得还算有诚意。跟朋友讨论后对片子有了不同认识，剧本做得真挺好
我真的很想问是买行销了嘛？ 明明电影院里很多人都无聊到玩手机啊？真的有这么多人觉得好看？拜托 看恐怖片无聊到唉声叹气玩手机诶！ 9:特地赶回板桥秀泰 浪费我260还要打车回家 我真的会谢 而且很多分镜有昆池岩or温子仁系列的即视感 真的会谢
导演笑着说：大黑佛母和所有神像的设计和制作最烧钱，我们把钱都砸在这里了！尤其是那一尊大黑佛母是我们去找人做的，手势、咒语到符咒符号都是我们虚构的。不过能让大家一直问是不是真的存在的神明，代表我们的美术团队真的很厉害！”大家千万不用担心看完《咒》会被“祝福”啦～
今天是大黑佛母的生日🎉🎉🎉观看点赞并转发本视频给六个群的人有好运，赢q币，国庆节不上班😻😻😻绝对不骗你，我已经试了哦🤩😝😝
片子一开始就企图让观众参与进去，包括镜头感。不自觉沉进去后，就挺可怕。
好看，看完想抽导演八十个嘴巴子，都给我气笑了
就这一部都被强吹本土化《招魂》+能列入最佳华语恐怖电影，我就想问到底哪里来的勇气？
剧情莫名其妙的感觉，画面也晃得看不清，说到底还是要尊重习俗和神明，对一切保持敬畏之心，不然就是害死胆大的，吓死胆小的。作为恐怖片，氛围确实烘托得非常好，好几幕我都只敢用手机遮住看半边屏幕，但是通过影片来诅咒观众确实挺膈应人的。
不好看！！一惊一乍又装神弄鬼的 啊怎么还诅咒无辜群众！！我做错了什么(ﾉ｀⊿´)ﾉ！！🤺退！🤺退！🤺退！🤺退！🤺退！🤺退！🤺退！🤺退！🤺退！🤺退！🤺退！🤺退！🤺退！🤺退！🤺退！
算是恐怖片里还算不错的吧，但能不能不要再伪纪录片了…一回新二回旧三回四回老掉牙了都。
说晦气什么的，是没经历过录像带时期的午夜凶铃么
好看啊，刷新了华语恐怖片的天花板，华语恐怖片的天花板再也不是「山村老尸」了
真尼玛晦气 导演家里人都被诅咒完了吧 影史恶心观众第一片 湾湾心里真扭曲
拍摄手法，叙事手法，民俗主题都是老生常谈，高潮其实在中间部分，女主的男友死了，村里的人全员中邪，那段还算恐怖，值得称道的是结尾，向观众解开那个鬼母的真容。
晦气党们，有没有一种可能，咱们这样的盗版观众，根本享受不到来自正版的诅咒？
好看，看完想抽导演八十个嘴巴子，都给我气笑了
