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.

Literally cliche that could be happening everywhere in the world with a totally opposite ending. Fighting back for freedom and democracy is a fantasy, just as the final scene of the film where nobody wears mask under the morning sunshine.
索金还是那个索金，但我还是认为他更适合做编剧而不是导演。太匠气以至于全片的情感很淡薄，影片唯一的情感爆发也就在Lucy发现丈夫出轨那一刻。影片讲述的被发现支持共产党的Lucy在一周内希望以真人秀戏剧来挽救自己的名声和婚姻的故事，她力求精细和完美，同时追忆自己与丈夫的往事，但最终虽然自己的信誉挽回，却发现了丈夫的偷吃。
【3星半】她想用那部付出了一生的电视剧来挽救她的婚姻，终以破碎失败落幕，观看体验和《塔米•菲的眼睛》如出一辙，建议艾伦•索金还是老老实实做黄金编剧吧，想表达很多但没表达好。
这次台词过多成为了累赘，看得很疲乏。看完全片我对Lucille Ball这个角色十分动容，她是立体的，是一团被重重包围着的火焰，本来可以聚变成一颗闪耀的恒星，但被湮没了光芒。问题是，全片透露出的信息实在是太多了，这也要那也要最后芝麻西瓜混成了一盘稀碎的大乱炖。这原本是一部很好的大女主剧，有血有肉有灵魂有梦想，最终的呈现却有些拉胯，着实可惜。艾伦·索金还是更适合拍更加纯粹的政治片吧，要是在白宫里拍两个多小时的话痨片，就会很精彩。妮可·基德曼演得好，但我感觉也只能得一个提名了。
毕竟我开始喜欢他时就是因为日落大道60号演播室
以为是人工智能的惊悚片，结果kimi就是个高速响应plus人工即时纠错版的Siri，有点无语，可能深意主要还是在于当今时代个人信息和隐私泄露的反思吧。不过也正是有获取信息的漏洞主角才能从蛛丝马迹中发现犯罪事实。说来仍是基本相信技术是中性的，会发生什么全看人和人规定的制度。btw这电影一半时间都在铺垫，好在后半段的追逃挺赞的。
看得很过瘾。而且这种90分钟的电影已经很少了，所以很珍惜。
6.5分。这算是新时代的《后窗》吗？整个电影前半段还算有点意思，但后半段是什么鬼？社恐属性突然就没了，然后就开始暴力怼人了？ 这都啥和啥啊？？这AI音响靠人工来处理问题，这得处理多少数据啊？ 这种能记录所有信息得设备家里可不敢放呢~~~
某些方面和《尼姆岛》异曲同工，Purell洗手液瞩目，大概是社恐标签吧。
看什么都不知道。。。
中年人太难了，能不能放弃幻想，认清现实！?
虽然厌恶社交碎片侵占屏幕的影像语法，但KIMI不可思议地以紧凑精炼的类型框架将新冠时代科技惊悚流派与超级英雄悬念技巧结合。短小篇幅热点议题也和流媒平台配合默契。门缝和隔窗窥伺正如信息流无孔不入，割喉刀刃反面即是自卫钉枪。远程交流互相隔离的沟通和日渐蔓延的群体焦虑在疫情之中得到天然掩体，现代社会真正的流行病。预知情节熟稔于心，幽闭视角聚焦特写面部表演，摄像诡计最大限度操纵氛围，家庭空间有序舒适和室外天地混乱危险相形构成难以名状的恐怖。数据罪证可以一键清除，杀人灭口却劳神费心，监视者自造的绳索也会成为结果他们的圈套。光明结尾似是呼吁虚拟数字世界真实依托还在，摘下口罩更换发色，自由肉身仍和数据海洋共生共存。作品本身就像恐慌发作的物理浮木，正义得偿一刻清除了体内交叠的疮疤枷锁，线上线下暂时相安无事。
尽管针妮脸已经僵硬成这样了，还是很让人共情啊，求求艾伦·索金别再导演了，专心写剧本就可以了！
3.5 索德伯格拍这种毫无压力。最后一幕差了点。
完成度无敌之高 也是妮可基德曼最好的表演 唯一可惜的地方是剧本：这哪是传记啊 整个一流水账
小巧可爱的当代“B-movie”，和《零和一》一样殊途同归地找到了数字世界的物质性。
老派的故事融入当下现状，疫情时代、人工智能将人与人的距离拉远，门外色彩斑斓的世界充满着危险。窗口窥视和杀人录音致敬了希区柯克的《后窗》及帕尔玛的《凶线》。索德伯格一小博大，视听调度显其功底。
前面挺有意思，有点想希区柯克 电话那个电影，她为别人求救未果，就让人联想后面她自己会不会遇到危险。然而到了后面……what the what ? 结论：人工智能可以的，是人不行……好吧。
個人覺得這部其實蠻無聊的… 索爾金的劇本很厲害，但是這種五幕和電影表現的sitcom 風格格格不入。 同時感覺內容十分鬆散，同題材我其實覺得還沒有Trumbo有張力和有趣。 演員出彩的情況下，索爾金的自我重複也許開始變得平庸。
亂，沒有吸引人看下去的慾望。除了Kidman外沒什麼亮點
