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.

主角之外人物的出场显得有点刻意为之，不够自然。
反向驱魔，魔鬼的使徒把上帝从神父体内驱逐。。。这种操作还挺有趣的，只是电影的执行力太普通了，单纯的驱魔题材好像也很难让人提起兴趣
不行的苏文兴逆袭了，哈哈，太搞笑了
这片要不是因为赘婿真的难看得下去，情节老套，故事单薄，等第二季吧
这个感情线立意真的很不错，男女主互相帮助，最后男主也长了赘婿，感觉真心蛮爽的，再也不是男主累死累活，女主安如泰山了。
把电视剧里新颖的部分拿出来 还算合理的剧情 苏文兴有点憨还蛮好玩的
比想象中的好看，剧本故事还是延续了电视剧的风格，原汁原味，还引用了经典片段，可以说是用心了。演员虽然不大咖，但演技不尬，个人觉得算是高标准的网络大电影了。
这算是第二部前先试个水引一下关注吧。其实拍的还行，就是吉吉国王长得一般了点
我已经看完了，真的巨好看。吉吉国王急抢婚那段，我都要笑哭了 😂
但剧情进行的乏善可陈，且皆是“吓一跳”，恐怖感营造缺乏，后面直接变成丧尸片，可惜。
剧情基本上算是电视剧的翻拍，有笑点但却是划水拖时长。
精彩内容全在片头被附身小姐姐，够投入。D子们最爱的情节也有～够露骨。后面无聊漫长到睡着数次……驱魔题材已经用光了吧！拍点别的吧！
有点意思的驱魔电影。不过对于我们来说，这个看起来都有点傻。
个人评分：7.7分
牧师和魔鬼正面对吼 互相给对方驱魔
也没啥太大感觉，就是觉得...说好看不至于，说不好看也不是，需不需要看...看这赘婿2，是不是接上的，如果是不衔接的，这电影没啥太大必要专门去看其实
下饭电影 有吉吉国王在的地方 怎能不搞笑 如果大聪明在就好了 开始期待赘婿第二部了
抛去对驱魔人的玩命致敬 导演很有想法啊 不过还是#我们需要女驱魔师
很轻松愉快的电影
挺好的一个网剧番外的模式，做到了完整保留了正剧故事背景及调性，番外主角的人设也和正剧高度一致，并且很好地延展了人物的另外一面的故事，有人物弧光更加丰满。笑点和节奏都掌握的很好，演技也不尬，给同类网剧的番外创作树立了很好的标杆。故事很简单，还是在古代开金手指的无厘头搞笑，不仅做了正剧的补充，还很好地完善了一些正剧中的细节，并且完成了给第二季做铺垫埋伏笔的任务。单看也是个轻松向的网大，中规中矩。
