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.

3.5吧，这类一开始就能知道结尾的电影，需要更好的气氛烘托才能成功
脑洞大，法式幽默。峰回路转，很讽刺。
2.5。机器人恐惧症患者坚持看完就是胜利。
英国味道太浓了，慢慢悠悠老爷车，可以说波澜不惊，也可以说无聊乏味，这个事儿就像是投漂流瓶，中的比率非常低，不是特别敬业做不到，仅此而已。
英帝国涂脂抹粉之作
明明是个真实战争事件，却拍成了一个矫情的职场剧，里面的每个环节都不够精彩，竟然还要加这么细节冗长的三角感情戏，拜托了你是战争谍战片耶
节奏有点慢，但是画面质感好棒，永远爱二战片
還是很Jean-Pierre Jeunet！蠢蠢的但是很感動
任何故事，但凡是个好故事，都会存在被看见的一面，还有被掩盖的一面…
老式机器人保护主人不被大规模机器叛乱波及将其锁在家中……剧情发展过于荒诞。不过法国电影还是比美国的多了点哲学气息庄周梦蝶都搬出来了~不过搞笑段落还是少了些……
作为一部关于AI操控人类的科幻片，全片最精彩的部分竟然是开头两分钟的片中片部分，机器人遛人当遛狗，后面半小时剧情混乱，无聊透顶。开头这段想象力和喜剧效果爆棚，相比之下正片显得不那么有意思，人物的关系和情感也发展的离谱，如果说这部电影作为科幻片达到了及格线，那么作为爱情片简直是烂片中的烂片。最后伪艺术家和黑人互换了情人，老太太失去了自己的机器人男友，年轻小伙爱上了父亲前女友的女儿，我直呼狗血。
这类电影一般好看的只有前二十分钟，用花里胡哨的特效介绍一下背景设定满足一下强迫症，然后走剧情就开始拉得不知所云。三星有一星是人情星，被热内诈骗了…
想象力很丰富，画面也不错，啪啪取暖也是很搞笑
Netflix. 法式轻喜剧风格还是很讨喜的 场景设定和布置都有见用心.
怎么感觉一个挺好的战争故事片生生搞成了爱情片
二战片，英国人，用假情报诱使德国人相信英国登陆希腊，当德军去希腊迎战后，英军在德国歼灭德军，据说是打响二战胜利的关键。
一直在blahblahblah的说个不停，看的整个人都心浮气躁的，这都拍的什么鬼
5⃣️即使到了2022，谁能拒绝达西的表白呢
选材好得一，但你玩儿战术就玩儿战术，扯那些儿女情长属实没必要，主要也没扯出什么犊子来
看的是国语配音版。故事很不错，有真实的历史故事，但拍的一般。
