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.

除了中间那段战争戏炸信号塔的不错，其他地方拍得太乱了。
期待演员易烊千玺！！
很棒的作品，三小时一点也不觉得长，差点被douban上这些差评蒙蔽双眼，无论是我军细节，还是美军细节，都彰显了人性的可贵、对生命的尊重以及和平幸福的不易。
千玺棒棒的！！！视觉效果超赞！感觉跟《1950他们正年轻》搭一起看超好哭😭
全程三个小时几乎无尿点，就是有尿意。真的震撼，建议去看IMAX
107'41'十个项目九个凉，商业投资很正常
为什么到现在了，这么大的制作，画面还是满满的塑料感，台词硬得像学生作文？
8，张本煜可太帅了，这个帅不止是身手好，不止是重信守诺，是那份温柔，很打动人。这个片子是我非常喜欢的类型，虽然有些致敬，但剧本能打，并不会被致敬桥段抢了风头，主要出场人物形象比较丰满，并且他们都不是真正的恶人。万合天宜当年是网了多少人才啊。
几位台词都过于优秀，好久没进影院了，挺值的
4星，多一星给这个题材吧。
悬疑又悬疑不起来，搞笑又搞笑不起来，演员的表演功底就像在演小品。尴尬！N.Z
一群优秀的演员，一部精彩的影片！
一如既往的套路…民族情绪煽动真的ok…fine…观影的时候一直在思考：第一，无谓牺牲是否存在？第二，历史战争题材电影在刻画敌军形象时，那些可憎、傲慢、戏谑模样是否已成刻板印象，是拍出群众喜闻乐见的主色调，还是更侧重历史的真实性还原性（真实会传达给民众吗）。第三，对比中美军队处境，一边吃着火鸡喜迎圣诞，一边薄棉严寒磕掉牙的土豆。可先进、强大、后勤保障能力强有错吗？这样对比又想渲染什么？回家路上我想明白了第三点：强大并无过错，但其作用在于保护与发展，是人类文明进程中的必然。杀戮、掠夺、侵占才是恶，而用强大实力去浇灌恶的生长，就是敌军所做之事，也是先辈们以血肉奋力抗争之事。
今天来看了长津湖，有些感受，不涉及剧情的透漏，因此写下来。电影中给我两个感受颇深的点。第一点，圣诞节那天，中国军队和美国军队伙食的巨大反差，让人真的心疼我国志愿军，但丝毫不影响他们作战和快乐的心情，所以优越的物质条件并不是决定成败的根本因素，有时候人的意志才是。第二点，不知道大家对于我国从朝鲜运回烈士遗骸有何感受。但这次我深切感受到运回烈士遗骸的必要性。这些烈士在他们那个时代，也有精彩的人生，但他们为了祖国，去异国他乡战斗，为国捐躯，献出自己宝贵和本该精彩的人生，后人真的应该永远铭记他们，把他们遗骸送回祖国大地也是后代子孙应该做的，他们值得，这也是我们对历史做出贡献的人的尊重，是跨越时空的尊重。
剧本可以，两点可惜。一是导演功力太差太差，开始十分钟我就开始查导演履历了，果不其然新人非科班，这个镜头这个配乐这个节奏，如果不是不错的剧本和口碑打底根本没法看。二是，尹正啊尹正，真是肥硕啊，肥的眼睛都没光了，我当年因为海王对他的滤镜真是毁得一干二净。中年男演员能不能减减肥！说你呢尹正徐峥潘粤明！另外两个演技还比尹正好，更扎心。
缺点也有，比如，特效没那么完美，但从电影不用史料这点还是佩服的，结尾给人感觉仓促收尾，意犹未尽，但明显还有第二部，还是继续期待
祝祖国母亲生日快乐
电影院看的， 看完才知道喻恩泰那档子事。前面有些啰嗦了。反转也很老套。又是充满了对女性刻板印象的片子。
前面有些拖沓，但到中局之后慢慢将剧情展开，越看越精彩，结尾处理的非常好，不像很多片子虎头蛇尾。最后的那张照片真是画龙点睛。
堪称史诗级战争大片，气势恢宏，把英雄人物舍身取义，造福子孙的奉献精神完美的展现出来。作为英雄们的子孙感到无比的骄傲自豪
