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.

最后男主胜利围观妇女为男女主夫妇鼓掌那里真是莫大的讽刺
亚当司机的帅就是那种，帅的程度感觉刚刚落在渣男或者海王那一档之下一点点，trick你他仿佛是好人里最帅的那一档，但转身就看到他一脸无辜的在用力草一匹母马….
故事就集中在交接的过程中，虽然情节比较单调，但凭借《月光男孩》和《绿皮书》两次问鼎奥斯卡最佳男配的阿里，一人分饰两角的高超演技是电影的一大看点。
3.5 男主跟儿子作别时吃毛豆喝啤酒的场景，让我一度以为导演是个中国人
p.s.我不理解，这片不配提名小金人吗？
3.5星，同样的事件一遍一遍不同的细节加深对一件事情的理解。其实有点太过形式化，但还是会为女子感到骄傲！说出来，勇敢得活下去！
荣誉决斗，虽然笃定谁强谁有理，但也算是一种比较光明正大的解决矛盾的方法
既然可以將一個人的記憶、知能和潛意識完全移轉到另一個相同的軀體上，何不就讓原來病老的殘殼消滅？等於是腦部移植。這樣，就沒有同時存在兩個人的困擾了。
我是对科技发展持谨慎态度
斯科特导演的女性视角的影片一直都很不错，《末路狂花》《异形》等等，这部也同理。中世纪罗生门式的决斗，简觉得妻子被rape有辱作为骑士的名声，站在维护妻子的立场不过是顺带的，从审判前的夜晚命令妻子上床做爱就能看出来，明明妻子才刚刚向他哭诉，简并没有把她当作独立个体，就是一件财产。勒格里的生活一直伴随着美女主动环绕，天生就认为他与谁发生性关系都是合理的，因此他觉得与玛格丽只是通奸，并不是违背她的意愿，即使玛格丽一直在说no...到了第三段关于玛格丽的真相，她的真相会不会和前两者有修饰或者夸大的地方呢，只知道事实是勒格里rape了玛格丽。她的命运竟然要这俩决斗生死来决定，也是蛮讽刺的。朱迪科默还挺好看的，但最后不得不吐槽，到底是怎么看出勒格里帅的？星战时我就觉得这个演员长得很奇怪，身材倒是挺好。
克隆人这个题材，其实已经没什么新鲜玩意可说了。不过本片直接越过了常见的“伦理困境”这个角度，从选择了如何平静的告别、如何与过去与自己和解这个角度。阿里的表演令人动容。冲奥重点选手无疑了。
ps: jodie的小眼神总是让人出戏，但是在chapter3里还是演技在线的🥺
玛格丽特是不幸的，因为两个男人都无非把她当做占有物来玩弄，但她同时也是幸运的，因为她活了下了，得以说出自己的故事。可以说是雷公版本的《切腹》，对patriarchy的完美讥讽，真正的人性诗篇。
丑男人都死了，看着美女与后代怡然自得，真是开心。
全方位地证明了叙事艺术的魅力，这样的作品在如今“剧集盛电影衰”的时代里可太珍贵了。
简介里的“罗生门”并不准确，确切的说是用三个不同角色的视角展现了同样情节的故事，最终每个人坚定地站在自己的立场上，可悲又可笑。借古讽今丝毫不落俗套。比如吴签事件众生相本片皆有角色对照（如：女主“好姐妹”的背叛代表了多少愿为男神维护形象甚至献身的迷妹们），而最后的决斗，输赢又有什么重要
这是个不让爱人知道自己不久于人世而使用克隆人去陪伴她的深情故事。关于克隆人总逃不开伦理问题，连主角自己开始也难以接受另一个自己来替代自己，奈何情深“一定不能让她知道这个事”和透过克隆人眼镜传输看到爱人的影像，真是憋死人的节奏。
我曾看过太多所谓的史诗电影，但那宏大的战争场景却总是让我觉得乏味。
很久没看过这么震撼的电影了，震撼不在于故事多么得不可思议，而是它真实得可怕，这也许能算是“借古讽今”吧？第三章是绝对的高潮，导演的目的达到了，决斗戏漫长血腥到让人如坐针毡，让人完全地共情了女主角。玛格丽特在剧中有多美丽，两个男人就有多丑陋。唯一的问题：他们怎么一个个能闭着眼管Adam Driver这张丑脸口口声声handsome？P.S.让我们来猜猜给低分的一般是什么性别？
一个女性的生命和清白只能由两个男性的决斗来决定，而他们决斗却只是为了各自的声誉。
