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.

我希望这样的呐喊能传遍世界。
是否所有印度电影都要妥协给剧情的重大 bug 以及难免去黑印度警察？前者最大的 bug 莫过于争执过程中司机与保姆（？双人不敌女主，更讽刺的是前者结尾被发现竟是当年加害强奸女主的凶手。但 me too 过去辽那么多年，不是每一部籍着 so-called 『女权』的电影都能成功。
希望司法相关的她力量更强大
我希望这样的呐喊能传遍世界。
有意义但是的确逻辑漏洞频出的片子，亮点就是还不错的影像语言。
题材很震撼，当坏事发生在任何一个人身上的时候，只要你不说，大家都不知道在你身上到底发生了什么，对你产生了什么样的影响，你的焦虑，你的抑郁，没有人知道，你甚至每天像没事人一样，只有自己知道自己像行尸走肉一样，但是这种事情在心灵深处留下的烙印，怎么可能挥之即去，大概才下眉头，却上心头。
社会底层人的利益却只有等到瞎子看见、聋子听见、哑巴说话才能引起注视，这是多么可悲。（不讨剧情逻辑下这个主题是很想给五星的，尤其最后字幕“观影开始已有8名女性遭到强奸”不寒而栗。但前期铺垫实在太长且俗套没啥逻辑..）
题材很震撼，当坏事发生在任何一个人身上的时候，只要你不说，大家都不知道在你身上到底发生了什么，对你产生了什么样的影响，你的焦虑，你的抑郁，没有人知道，你甚至每天像没事人一样，只有自己知道自己像行尸走肉一样，但是这种事情在心灵深处留下的烙印，怎么可能挥之即去，大概才下眉头，却上心头。
枪杀警长，坐了二十年牢。出狱后逐渐重新走入社会，同时又寻找当时年幼的妹妹。桑德拉·布洛克饰演的女主角，表演有些用力过猛，也许对获奖抱有期待。导演的叙述很不流畅，不断地用闪回来破坏节奏。故事本身尚可，只是女主用二十年牢狱换取妹妹的幸福，何必出狱后又去打扰其生活？安静地从她生活中走开，也许更理性。
剧情槽多无口，影片速度太慢，1.5倍速正好
印度是全球最奇葩的国家，这影片把印度政府的不作为和警察的无能体现的淋漓尽致，百分之一的人住在豪宅装上等人，其余九十九的阿三只能吃牛屎住草房，在印度就算你强奸了十个人都不会犯法，但是强奸一头牛你就会被打死，经常看他们强奸各种动物的报道，甚至还有六个阿三轮奸了一只蜥蜴
桑德拉布洛克的表现非常稳定，一如既往的出色，是她该有的水平。
一、总体还行，女主很美。二、逻辑不通，编剧背锅。三、立意很高，现实很冷。四、发生雪崩的时候，没有一片雪花是无辜的。没有人想要犯罪，如果发生了犯罪行为，我们都应当思考这到底是因为什么。
昨天才看了她的生死时速，还很靓丽，今天再看这部感觉是俩人了。
不知道除了制造噪音，还有什么方式能让那些装聋作哑的人，去听听身边的哭声，印度尚在斗争，我们不能输啊
如果將妹妹改為女兒，感受上會更加虐心，但故事設定的基礎本身就缺乏合理性，所以是妹妹還是女兒就無所謂了。
Sandra Bullock演技封神，所有的记忆都需要找到归处。
电影都只是美好结局
题材很棒，通过电影表达强烈主题，尽管PM部分有点不切实际，但不影响值得一看，女主演技出色，这类呼吁保障女性权益的社会题材影片可以更多些。
刚开始挺好，但是一跟总理通话后，开始崩了，这就有点脱离现实了
