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.

芬奇想要保护狗的行为，本质上是希望他们能在末世里守住人性的尊严，在不可信任的世界里重建信任。一行人经历着不断失去（同伴），又不断上路继续走下去的过程，因此即使最终只剩下一狗一机器人，人消失了，不过这个世界依然存有人性的善意，这也是这部电影最动人之处。
信息泛滥的时代，人生重要的是经历，脚踏实地的去实际感受，而不是碎片化地浮光掠影只言片语。
我也想要Jeff那样可爱的机器人（完美继承了Finch的人性），让我们一起守护狗狗吧！American Pie是泪点了。
Jeff演技真的好好。比很多真人演员都好啊，怎么办到的。//就是杜威走得太突然了，啊不会说话但是一直默默做事还贡献了自己眼睛的杜威啊。
我以为最终会探讨这样一个话题：人工智能有人权吗？只有我一个人在想如果狗狗goodyear也走了，杰夫一个人怎么办吗？
给我这个有些浮躁的、居家隔离的5月3日以沉静的力量。“末世”的感觉，让我们无论如何都更加珍惜眼前所拥有的一切。生命中确实要追求未知，向往未来，但不可或缺的，也有体会和珍视我们所有的当下。感受身边的温情，陪伴在身边的家人。硬盘中的影片、播放器中的音乐和书架上的书籍。有些遗憾的地方是咖啡已经耗尽。要等解封才能购买了。
被感动的是机器人的人性，按一个人来写机器人，一不小心就容易强加于机器人人性，电影拿捏的挺好，智能和笨拙同时在杰夫身上。当狗狗也死去，杰夫看怎么办呀……
“当一条狗被杀死时，人们会去抗议，但当一个人被杀死时，连狗都不会有反应，这种信念从何而来？让提出问题的人闭嘴的政治，让指责的人戴上手铐的政治，但无论你如何试图让他们闭嘴，无论你把他们关进哪座监狱，都会有人提出问题，而且必须有人回答。”
好久没看汤姆汉克斯的电影了，挺温馨的，就是比较担心他们遇到人后会怎么样。有些想做的事情还是马上去做吧，事情太多人生太短，说不定就没机会了。
它像是一个有着庞大信息库和物理强度却又对这个世界充满着好奇的婴儿
电影牛逼就牛逼在能将女性处境、教育腐败、政治阴谋、体制溃烂、种族歧视、煽动人心、媒体操控、正义边界、法律公信等等这一系列我们一般都不会碰的话题通过一桩女教师命案完美的串起来了。抛开上诉题材不说，电影节奏、悬疑性、人物塑造方面都属上乘。
背景设定不够严谨，故事是好的。从《荒岛余生》到《芬奇》，汤姆·汉克斯这次不再是一个人。jeff问：什么叫信任？芬奇回答不出来。jeff说：我相信芬奇。芬奇却说：我是个懦夫，不值得相信。而最终，芬奇只能把希望寄托在jeff身上，而jeff用行动证明，他会成长为一个值得信任的伙伴。
很难挑的出什么毛病，硬要说的话只能说是路上的艰辛少了，导致结构两头重中间轻，但也不是硬伤，这个机器人虽然是个铁罐头，但是却能做到表情非常生动，很难得。感谢汉克斯一直奉献好片，不像其他一些影帝年纪大了专出烂片。
老人与机器人，也是一种工业化的怀旧。8.4
只有一人一车一狗一机器人而已，竟然看的津津有味！
狗片和鸡汤永远都是锁死的。汤姆·汉克斯这不就是把《荒岛余生》又演了一遍。
虽然不明白什么原理可以让机器人永远有电。不过有这么一个朋友照顾一切还能送终。确实也太安心了。。。虽然是科幻，但讲的都是信任。好像很适合2020以后世界末日的样子。2022年又严重了。
末日来临最可怕的是天空上的空洞，而且人类的自私。芬奇虽然是一个宅孤僻，但是我觉得他身上有非常宝贵的品质，在末日闪烁人性的美好，比如对谢尔的耐心、比如对古尔的责任、比如做事情非常细致，居然在谢尔身上做了一个开罐器，比如对生活的仪式感。片子我遗憾的地方是芬奇没有活着看到金门大桥。。。明明那么近了，希望的地方在于谢尔和狗子到了，并一起开始了新的旅程。
剧情基本没有什么槽点，很汉克斯的风格，没有过于激烈的剧情冲突，稳健地讲述出了一场人，机器人，狗的公路旅行。
LOVED BY GOODYEAR AND JEFF.”This is living."又浪漫又伤心 呜呜呜o(╥﹏╥)o
