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.

PS：建议国产电影和好莱坞大片好好学学印度，看看人家是如何不带一丝虚伪做作的意识下拍好电影的！
印度式爽片，不过我更觉得印度人很可能找到了自己的漫威宇宙，甚至还能输出到海外
你可以嘲笑印度的任何事情。但不能低估印度的电影。
野兽乱宫，丛林战，合体战，哪怕是双男主在水底建立友谊前的大跨步，每定格，这肌肉美和荷尔蒙的气息啊！！巴霍巴利王的导演出手果然不同凡响，也就他，三小时的双男主大爽片拍到连一个尿点都没！！！加上印度殖民地时期的故事背景——“让每个人手中都有枪，这样他们就能回到自己的国家。”整部电影的立意也上了一个台阶。
这不是印度版的抗日神片吗？不过特效也太好了，两主角也实打实的身手敏捷，剧情没那么雷人的话我就给5星了
一部為凱吉哥量身打造的迷影情懷作，褪去凱吉本身就是個簡單到不行的二流諜報片，但因為是凱吉主演、凱吉扮演自己，讓這部二流諜報片有了不凡的意義。影片滿載對凱吉的喜愛，那些凱吉90年代演過的經典大片，絕地任務、變臉、空中監獄，沒有一部漏掉提及。佩德羅帕斯卡的角色就是導演對自身身為凱吉粉的投射，裡面最多的致敬就是變臉吧，吳宇森在好萊塢的巔峰作...不能同意更多。近幾年為了還債演了這麼多B級作的凱吉，透過這部迎來了他演藝生涯中的迴光返照，他也透過本片的機會宣洩他這幾年累積已久的低潮情緒，但不變的依舊是他對電影的喜愛，年紀輕輕變拿下奧斯卡影帝，身為柯波拉家族的一員，他靠凱吉這個藝名自己闖出一片天，又因為破產而到處接片，如今透過這部片，凱吉似乎已準備好再次東山再起了。
这开挂的方式也太好笑了吧，以为救出玛莉故事就该结束了。不，爽剧就是要实现所有人的愿望！玛莉要救，阿兰也要自由，所有想反抗的人得人手一只枪，阿兰也得见到他的西塔！尬舞跟歌唱真是又好笑又无奈🤷🏻♂️
爱国主义爽片，个人神明主义...
很牛批的，手撕鬼子的那种牛批。虽然场面、背景、技术啥的都不错，但跟国宝汗的片子还是差的很多。国宝的都是深入人心的。
但是打斗太夸张了，我们手撕个鬼子被骂的体无完肤，为啥他们战狼战虎大家拍手称奇？
m22110：小老虎和《勇士》男主角，音乐还不错。
在我看来这就是一部印度阿三自嗨片，一惊一乍的故事情节，过分美化的镜头感，还有莫名其妙的感情戏，印度女主很漂亮，主演了一部很热门的电影甘谷拜，英国女主圣母情节莫名其妙，一个贵族小姐会爱上一个印度人，毫无缘由的情感，然后打打闹闹，跳跳舞这场革命就结束了，都是两个男主好基友的功劳，其他人都是打酱油的....这位印度导演的脑洞真是无与伦比，这就让我更喜欢阿米尔汗了，完全不是一个段位，结束，看了好几天的电影.....
想看点新商业片，被这部过气明星的自恋之作倒了胃口，粗糙，无聊！比起印度片《RRR》差多了。应了那句话：自恋 —— 天才不能承受之重！
给特效的，最后打斗夸张了，那个箭一直没有减少怎么回事
既然做这个主题，那就做彻底，能把浑身是梗的凯奇拍到这个程度，这导演充其量就是个路人粉，假粉。但action梗确实太好笑了，熟悉片场会笑的更大声。我的话开场会先套一遍《蛇眼》的长镜头，在里面填元素玩儿。希望尼古拉斯fucking凯奇早日重回巅峰，当然你从来也没过气🙂
优秀爽片。装b到位，打斗比近年大部分超英片更精彩
我的评价是，不如战狼二。战狼二只要一个人，这个还要两个
其实这剧情一咂摸，让演员去坏人身边卧底，这不就是《喜剧之王》吗？用了尼古拉斯真实的身份来作梗是很不错的创意，也挺放得开的，不过一出来什么女儿之类的，立刻就失去了这种真实性，非常败笔。尼古拉斯凯奇跟幻觉中的年轻版尼古拉斯凯奇互动不错。提到了他的所有经典作品，如果是他的真影迷看应该会一本满足，我就没到那个份儿上，只被安利了《帕丁顿熊2》
时间太长了，三个多小时。两个小时左右讲完就可以了。双男主身材真好，好莱坞的动作设计虽然夸张，但是观赏性并不差。7.1
同样是神剧，印度的神剧看了能让人点燃，我们的神剧看了只能阻燃，这是问题，希望导演们可以学习借鉴一下。
