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.

棒子这个类型的电影拍得太多了，感觉观众都很疲软了，不像以前能够引起大范围的讨论。
可能期待值太高了，电影改编中规中矩，只是歌曲出现的时候本能反应激动地跟着唱了一下，剧情确实一般般……ps：为什么Conner没让Mike演😾😾
拍成电视剧感觉会更好！韩国在拍这类题材上一直没输过！
台词真的敢说 很现实 比如因为美国人死了才重视
理想化的设定太多有点脱离真实感，但总体还是可以. 他们蒙住了我们的嘴，但韩国至少还有电影.

以一个添加剂做切入口，剧情又回到了韩国的政企勾结司法公正民不聊生等问题。最终，戏剧化的使用了无间道桥段暴露了真相，但政府各部门推诿不担当的风气依然无法解决。看来韩国除了要抓总统，各级政府官员改革的路还很长。
韩国真实的可以杀人的加湿器的故事 加湿器里添加的消毒剂操作有误的话对人身体会产生很大伤害 加湿器公司勾结议员、律师等颠倒黑白 险些逃出法网 后公司二把手因自己孩子被加湿器毒害身亡与男子合作上演反间计 提供证据供出公司黑幕
虽然看了一下剧情，很多在呼唤官摄，但没看过剧的我，看完电影还是挺感动的，可惜的是，Coner生前和家人相处的细节，都是口述的，加上看的是无字幕生肉（我的错，求轻拍，上映会去还影票的😣），就会觉得不够丰满。但是，歌还是超级好听的。
拍的一般，浪费了题材，话说同样的情节，中国也可以拍个三聚氰胺版本
这个国家能够拍这样的电影，这个国家是应该去高兴、骄傲和自豪的，李光洙女友独担大女主演技有明显进步，改编自真实事件，故事的框架和《辩护人》的有些许近似，不过整体的感觉稍微有点平，反转剧情在电影老炮儿的预料之中，结尾的燃情是着实有些意外和惊喜，讽刺的点很多，最厉害的有两点：1.死了美国人案件才有机会开庭审理，管你之前死了多少本土；2.国字号审批的产品，掌权人知其猫腻不会用，唯有百姓随便伤害，都是鱼肉随便鱼肉罢了。QJ
有几点槽要吐。1医生的孩子生病了竟然不急忙送医院检查吗。2美国人果然高贵3宇植自己家也用吗自己应该知道有毒吧。4医生怎么不立马给自己做个检查。5资本真可怕啊明知道害人也要去做。6有很多国际禁止的添加剂在我国食品饮料里还在继续使用。
若不是利益集团内部由于种种巧合生出嫌隙结果可想而知。
同样的题材，同样的煽情角度，韩国影人来拍，看得出真的很会拿捏，演员的台词让影片节奏的冲击力拉满，几次意料之外的转折都算得上是点睛之笔。
略可惜，很可能是因为疫情的原因，场景、背景相较韩国电影以往独具特色的熙熙攘攘大嗓门的烟火气，显得很单调。可能想拍出黑水的气质，但是以传统情感家庭为主线，那个冷调是很难控好的。想一想，按照韩国以往类似题材的拍法，可能会显得浮夸，刻意，甚至有煽情的感觉，但是也会比现在好。因为那种闹中取静的冷调，气氛烘足给你一刀的残酷，才最显韩国电影独有的悲剧美学，但现在反而单调了，总感觉骨架很好，但是不够丰满，撑不起来的感觉。
故事再看一遍感触更深 电影化之后并没有那么糟糕 sincerely me的呈现方式也蛮惊喜的 配角也更加丰满了
祝豆瓣审核员7天内户口本注销
中规中矩韩式揭露黑暗现实的电影，节奏有点拉，就徐科长真实身份和目的揭露那里有点意思
韩国电影确实敢拍，但是要靠外国人出事才重视，还是澳大利亚政府认定危害。。哎！
音乐剧搬上大荧幕的失败之作，节奏混乱，感情线马虎。家庭群像还行，不过看凯特琳和老戏骨对戏还是过瘾的。
