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.

还是很多亮眼之处，值得学习和借鉴。对于数学的学习和喜爱，对于他人承蒙的苦难的理解和宽恕。
关于一些数学和音乐的台词看的我这个文盲一愣一愣的
又一个浓眉大眼叛变革命的故事。男一太一脸正气了。有的电影完全不会触动我，但是我不能确定是电影的问题还是我的问题，是射程不在我的触动区内？这样的电影我没法鉴别中和上，差还是看得出来的。
而且，对于投诚过来的数学家你大棒国也没给安排上不是，看到拿奖了就大鱼大肉安排上了，是想表达什么？只能说剧本失败，基本的合理性都没有
也可以联想到对美开放后，富一代们是用什么换取今天的财富的。
一开始认为像肖申克的救赎，斯德哥尔摩，不患寡而患不均，之后才发现，讲的是人性。有的囚徒拼命得到做狗的机会分到了两根骨头，误以为自己也姓赵，但只是另一种形态的韭
比起解出正确的答案，寻找答案的过程才是最重要的，这就是数学。也只有巴赫的音乐能完美印证数学的美丽。
怎么说呢，演技好是可以把鸡汤冲淡的，并且看完有种“我一个废物也可以学好数学”的冲动。
南北韩政治情节开始就有点看不下去了 需要休息
数学学习，比起答题很重要的是寻找答案的过程，引发自己的思考，继续深入学习。
“找到答案固然重要，但知道问题是什么更重要，你不能从错误的问题中得到正确的答案。”数学的尽头没有数字。

现代版奴隶制的缩影 boss的手段还是高明 用糖衣炮弹分化内部阶级 男主一边享受着权利与金钱带来的满足感一边又被不时涌上的道德感冲击 但利益与自私还是会占主导 老板又是另个大boss的走狗 一代又一代生生不息
韩国电影现在连数学领域都要涉及到南北关系，要不就显得没有深度，好久没看崔老师的表演了，还是那么稳，还是那么到位。
底层受害者如何演变成加害者的过程。预期内的都拍出来了，可还是差了一点。到最后男主还在纠结，导演还在给观众希望，这结局太温柔了。
威逼加利诱，即可令人斗志涣散，马图斯还是太小农思想了。看评论里有网友们认为巴西落后才会如此，他们难道不知道黑砖窑、卖淫组织、传销、拐卖妇女的事仍在上演吗，为什么假装看不到身边事？
很套路但还是不错
多么熟悉的味道，这不就是我们的黑砖窑与传销
也就冲着崔岷植吧！学生角色丑，牛奶广告多，像闻香识女人，却有种奇怪的氛围在里面，整体一般。
崔老师真是神级影帝，撑起了一整部戏，其实剧本不咋地。小演员也不在线
