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.

很痛苦……就算是为了吉伦哈尔也没法坚持了。
威尔好伪善呀！护士和警察是得了斯德哥尔摩综合征嘛！？
我们熟悉的那个“卖拷贝”回来了，这次他选择回到他的故乡-美国西海岸的“天使之城”加州洛杉矶拍摄这样一部带着他强烈个人风格（炫目的运动镜头、凌厉的剪辑风格、火爆的特效场面、360度环绕主角镜头、凝视画外空间的人物、复杂多层次的动作场面）的作品。作为一部标准好莱坞式无脑警匪枪战动作大片，一个字:爽就够了！（还要啥自行车）电影两星，推荐给动作片爱好者以及不在乎剧情是否带脑就想要来一场酣畅淋漓、肾上腺素飙升的观影体验的影迷朋友。在这个目前国内电影市场“至暗时刻”急需这样一部热闹的爽片来刺激下冰冷的大盘，电影就是为大银幕而生！再多一星给电影院，你可要挺住啊！！！综合:三星，去看吧！
质量可说是位面级碾压神秘海域，节奏特别快，用剪辑和摄影强迫观众保持亢奋，但我已经不吃卖拷贝这一套了，看着很累。
一片混乱……文戏武戏，只有炫技，没有逻辑……卖拷贝依然在孜孜不倦地制造视觉垃圾
砸车爆炸依然得心应手的卖拷贝，深知自己再也拍不出第二部《勇闯夺命岛》，于是自信摆烂，快乐地玩起了无人机～
恶心坏了，看疯子也好过看圣母，还很驰名双标，男主他爹当初就不该收养这个黑儿子。
看到5.6的评分，还想着卖拷贝不能拍得这么烂吧？看完才知道，要单论动作场面设计，完全值得更高分，甚至可以说是《GTA5》DLC真人版，洛杉矶街头警匪大爆干。尬就尬在从到拧巴到尾的剧情，吉伦哈尔比普通观众对抢银行想的还简单的脑回路，就这还被警方介绍吹成曾经成功抢劫过30多次的大佬...照这模式抢劫，一次就game over了吧？更别提槽点最大的黑人弟弟角色，全程既当又立，是不是得为你参与抢劫发一个“感动美国”大奖？文戏果然是卖拷贝最大短板...
SOS 好莱坞电影已经政治正确到这个地步了吗？吉伦哈尔真的很适合这种psycho的角色 我什么时候才能再在电影院看到他啊！
蛮好看的，后悔没去IMax厅，而且还是第一次在大银幕看卖拷贝和杰克。够刺激够爆炸够幽默，尽管Will的人性设计让人有时感觉有点懵，但其实还是能理解那种由于出生背景和成长环境所造成的复杂与纠结，于亲情与正义间不断徘徊。相较之下Jake的角色比较简单了，他完全可以驾驭更更更更更复杂人性的角色。女急救员很漂亮。总的来说一部合格的美国主旋律动作片。
Typical Michael Bay,Hard as F***，比盖里奇人之怒硬多了。迈克尔·贝确实知道怎么拍爽片，更知道怎么用慢镜头拍爽片。但是爽完就没有然后了，而且不会有再爽一次的想法。而且有两个小问题1.穿梭机镜头很酷炫，但是用多了确实让人想吐。2.每场追车戏发生爆炸我都会产生那辆车要变形的错觉……
（就…當作'爽片'輕鬆看…）（22.03.25_松仁Titan）
开头的几处摄影角度真的很不错，其他就没啥了，故事看得我云里雾里的
里头的一些抖音式打戏真的还是不错，爆炸戏还是很足。但是好好的摄影，vr视角被迈克尔贝剪的亲妈都不认识了。。。台词差的和网飞骗钱之作有一拼。现在没人管的了火爆的导演，市场反馈就让你冷静冷静
不愧是卖拷贝，一个救护车都能干出全城轰动的场面，这是他仅有的两下子，但如此单薄的故事，拖二个多小时，就实在是又臭又长了，估计大部分人应该跟我感受差不多，从一个半小时开始觉得极度烦躁，心想这点破事怎么还不完……这么多警察连一个救护车都逼停不了我是没想到的，最后女主给黑人一枪，黑人又给哥哥一枪，我是真的无力吐槽了……
导演既当控方律师又当辩方律师，不断地在陪审团的天枰上掺佐料：大钞、追车、悍匪、美女、宽带远程手术指导、开司米羊绒套头衫、带宠物犬上班还吃零食……佐料差一点，味道就会差一截。又，依据相对论的观点，只要速度够快，内分泌激素就会作用，瞳孔就会缩小，视野就会收窄，这时，导演设想的观众陪审团，其“度量衡”就较易被操纵了。
救护车上的戏份太多了，多到完全缺乏信服力了。
算不算卖拷贝职业生涯最差？剧情感觉就是卖拷贝在家玩GTA 抢银行 然后被警察追 追的山穷水尽 然后编出这么个电影 他自己都说这也太GTA了 开头还有脸提原来拍的勇闯夺命岛 太不要脸了 前边视觉还有一点点可以看的 后开越走越编不下去 到最后就靠煽情音乐 慢镜头和演员的大喊大叫 强行严肃 yue了 呕
整体拍得很混乱，既没有明确的犯罪线也没有明确的追捕线，除了中后段有一段追车做手术那里还比较抓人，其他的就很一般。女主过分冷静，男主过分亢奋，男二就是做着坏事但还要立牌坊那种。看完之后就一个感觉，乱。
好久没在电影院看这种无脑动作片了还是挺不错的，晕车人慎看摇晃镜头+90%车戏真的晃吐了，比较好的是女主人设不单薄戏份不花瓶，艾莎大美女简直太适合这种刚柔并济的坚强职业女性了
