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.

本来戏外还觉得砂糖没什么年龄感，戏里一看才惊呼砂糖是真的老了
这一部完全还原了原作的精髓，唯一美中不足(吹毛求疵)的地方是演员在隔了好多年再来拍续集果然还是显老啊(何况还是前作十年前的故事)。关于观影顺序，个人不同意高赞的看法(仁者见仁智者见智吧)，建议还是按电影发布的时间顺序观看。导演把起源故事放在最后一部感觉是想画一个圆。第四部虽然打斗很精彩，但是故事相对较为薄弱，里面透露的第五部的片段更像是留的悬念而不是剧透，不论是对于看没看过原作的观众都更有趣一些。第五部追忆篇的故事和深度都比第四部要好，动作场面也很精彩(剑心一直在像砍西瓜一样砍人)，绝对是最好的留在最后。这五部电影证明了导演绝对是原作真铁粉，请一定相信导演的安排!!!
心心念念的追忆篇终于来了，剑心系列可以圆满了！十六岁高马尾，砂糖的少年感还是可以的，毕竟也三十多了好吗？看他在地里拔萝卜开心得我都想笑了！村花是村了点，不过本来也没期待达到OVA的水平。打戏没有人诛篇里那么多，但依然打得很好，能看出拔刀斋早期杀人见血的那种凌厉。电影的完整性和节奏，人物的刻画，都要好过人诛篇，毕竟是照着OVA在拍，细微改动的地方也不算太违和，就是好些台词删掉了比较可惜。话说是不是很多镜头都是用十年前拍的第一部的，我都忘得差不多了， Masa的清里补了镜头吗？还有最后那一段，完全复制粘贴过来没什么必要。我要再去看一遍OVA了，可能看完我会再来吐槽的！
飞天御剑流 啊算是补全了童年回忆 打戏不错
有村的雪代巴也太可以了吧！！！！神谷薰滚粗！！！！
还是先看了追忆篇，唉，伤疤封印的设定完全没提啊，大友啓史真的是……这一部文戏部分这么多，一下子就看出来了影片的漏绽在哪。但是结尾回到鸟羽伏见之战，还是蛮感动的。
但其他方面都不错，特别画面感很好，而且正常刀看着比逆刃舒服多了
有村架纯这个戏演得让我想到长泽雅美的《王者天下》。
更纯粹的剑戟片
这部文戏过多，动作戏一般，最后bgm响起来的时候DNA动了，村花好看呀！
打戏不错，虽略带夸张但也颇具美感。纵横爱恨的两道疤。
7.5分。怎么说呢？感觉电影有些部分根本是多余的，比如新x组的打斗对电影根本没什么作用。而且为什么感觉电影到了一小时半都没讲清楚为什么剑心对巴的感觉……到巴死了都感觉还是差什么感觉……到最后火葬才get√到feel。(虽然是漫画改编，但我不看漫画还是感觉怪怪的)(仔细想想是没有对巴刻画，就只讲她和剑心的日常，导致情感不饱满)
还好银魂真人版不是最近看的，串场的演员也没几个，不然真怕出戏……
（虽然对巴的人选有意见但是）就这样了，最完美剑心漫改。
长的我没法不快进，每个人都在装死人脸说死人话。追忆篇动画yyds!
作为系列最后一部 比倒数第二部先看了 片尾和第一部片头衔接上 这里的感触明显不同
口刀反杀全屋灭门，临终前的萤火虫，林海雪原机关陷阱五感剥夺，抱歉夫君手刃留痕；厮杀双方说着一样的话：杀很多的人，是为了救更多的人——武士道真是与右翼军国主义不分家。也许让动漫电影达到《切腹》的深度很不现实？两部最终章感觉都是开场即高潮，后面一堆煽情文戏慢镜回放啥的，就连本来不错的动作戏也跟着无味起来；但在雪代巴日记一段还是被不中用地打动到了，毕竟距离当时看到的漫画结局，也二十多年过去了……
有村的雪代巴也太可以了吧！！！！神谷薰滚粗！！！！
不敢相信浪客劍心最終章這部《追憶篇》和前面拍的《人殊篇》竟然是同樣的導演和編劇，兩部呈現的風格與質感簡直有天壤之別。
从巴的真实身份被揭穿到雪中交战，再到读日记、放火烧屋，电影最后几幕重头戏之间的衔接太好了。情感起初是克制的，然后在悲戚和回忆中徐徐升温，最后随着熊熊燃烧的烈火和剑心离去的身影彻底爆发，看到这里，你才会觉得终于懂了巴，也懂了为什么会有后来的剑心。追忆篇无愧最强漫改系列作品的顶点之作，如果说10年前看第一部时更多是惊喜，现在则只剩下享受了
