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.

爆米花🍿️指数很高！熟悉的配方熟悉的套路，熟悉的Micheal boi，甚至女主和年轻时的Megan Fox长得一摸一样…贝女郎是同一个face gene吗
别晃了别晃了，出柜晃没了道德观也晃没了，这四位是想要把《刑法》从头到尾完整演练一遍吗？？？
看得脑仁疼。麦拷贝再这么发展下去 有可能变成影坛公害
主线剧情还是俗套，但是卖拷贝还是能在一些小的点上玩点花样，所以属于一边吐槽一边还能看下去那种美国大片。
万象影城天津万象城IMAX激光店，12声道新一代IMAX激光2D
还可以，看迈克尔贝的片子就是为了爽一下就够了，逻辑什么的谁在乎
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！
一天到晚描写这种努力为国奋斗，结果退伍后却得不到相应的帮助，然后机缘巧合加入犯罪组织，正式开始剧情，抢劫，枪战，劫持人质，飙车……没有一点内涵和滋味，就是电影的好莱坞电影，浪费时间的电影，看这个我还不如再去看一遍疾速追杀，都是没有营养的商业片，显然这部电影既想要商业的视觉震撼，又想去表达一些人性的善良，最后只会让我觉得是圣母……
开头和中间有一段有些无聊，两个多小时真没必要，完全可以压缩到90分钟内。香港的一些抢劫片都拍得比这个好。要不是为了看吉吉，我也不会在腾讯花4块钱买……
还行吧 反正也不需要什么逻辑 刺激就完事儿 但是感觉爆炸场面还是不太够 换车这个桥段也没啥新意
3.5星，135min。廉颇老矣 尚能饭否？结局很温情，中端有点松垮，就豆瓣这个评分，absolutely underestimated.
在政治正确领导下的爆炸贝名不虚传，穿梭机拍摄动作场面好刺激
剧情是挺紧凑，结局很扯淡。
另外那个汉密尔顿的那个梗可真是太好笑了😆中段的那个30公里时速史上最慢警匪追逐战在紧张刺激的氛围中也莫名戳中笑点，操西班牙语老爹的狠角色加入让这场看似和平的追逐战一下子升级成了流血战争，最后的兄弟情和超越罪犯与人质关系生命至上和微妙感情的升华则将情绪推向了高潮～
开场15分钟就被Bayhem转晕。Toooooo stupid, even for Micheal Bay. 都啥年代了，还有舔棒棒糖的villain，梦回九零。美国林家栋演的居然是真警察？他那伙人怎么看都是黑吃黑嘛！Micheal Bay's worst film, 100%.
味如嚼蜡，可惜了我最爱的杰克•吉伦哈！
难得重头戏不在抢银行，重点放到逃跑交通工具救护车上，剧情节奏快，
为什么没标签了？美国电影 犯罪 爆炸贝专注制造肾上腺素，不过这一部爆炸少了，但是镜头更晃了…拉人入伙的时候晃可以说是制造不安感。但后面几乎一直在晃就不舒服了，话说现如今拍电影都要用穿越机了么…虽说快速移动的俯视角我还是挺喜欢的~片子的结局以美国片来说也是相当正确了…犯罪者伏法，起码也算是达成了一个最初的目标…不过个人还是更喜欢罗汉系列那种智力型的犯罪片…
在影院看，眼花缭乱，花活不断，航拍如入臻境，很多镜头是用穿越机拍出来的，影院体验真的拉满。上乘的好莱坞爆米花大作，商业需要的它都有，尤其爆炸，那可是迈克尔·贝的绝活。p.s.老吉帅炸！！
有对社会问题的涉及，场面相比以前甚至小有升级，不过本质上是爆炸贝配方升级
