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.

不知道看过动画的话会不会给五星（probably not?
更多还是在回应当下的美国。想象一下，大国之间的利益分配和政治博弈也能做出很多讽刺，而且当前的世界也需要那种表达。
嗯，世界就是这么运行的，不管你开心还是不开心
有点把正传那种充实感给毁了，但是演出还蛮优秀，最后主题点的也还可以，作为正片粉，更希望能看到剑士一起在八年后共同面对敌人的剧情啊
这应该是近十年来拍得最好最精致的一部假面骑士电影了，镜头语言和戏剧性的呈现都很有电影的感觉，拍摄场景也很有现代都市的感觉，终于不用系列tv重复出现的几处东映祖传场景了。剧情主题有点有点别扭但也算是有了个能展开讨论的冲突，新人物的刻画虽然该交代的都交代了，但受限于篇幅难免还是和tv感觉有点突兀割裂。好在三大男主依旧延续了他们各自在tv里的人物形象，尤其是飞羽真老师神明一般的温柔与慈悲。战斗飙血和高质量特效都很惊喜。总而言之圣刃真的非常值得更多这样的外传电影，希望未来还能看到其他剑士的故事。
很好看啊 电视片的延续。有小小的惊悚，结尾特别好，没有刻意的说教，好的开端就是火苗。
剧场版时间有点短，有点紧，贤人和伦太郎的部分可以再演一点
画面太美
我挺喜欢结局的，二向箔还可以说无能为力，但彗星却因为我们的不团结而让地球重生，挺好的。喜剧性感受的很弱，讽刺虽然刻意不过到也直接。我们如何认知是事实还是队伍，或许越往后这个问题越重要。小李子这个人物的设计是很出彩的，面对困境带来的机遇首先是贪图享受，虽然一直有良知的纠结但知道尊严被人踩碎才选择反击。
贤人的新形态好短哦没看够
最后，hilda真是好温暖的童话。
人类的骄傲和贪婪是比彗星更大的灾难，也正是我们当下的灾难。就像那两位科学家一样，这部电影想做的其实是警醒世人，但大家只会把它当作不痛不痒的爆米花娱乐片（它也自知这一点），也许这才是最大的讽刺。
讽刺喜剧，末日片。人眼可见的慧星撞地球危机被一步步忽略。
导演再次献出了花里胡哨的各种影像材料和明星演员的大杂烩，材料特性没能凸显，明星魅力也没有散发出来（梅姨还靠着实力硬撑着）。观影期待值随着影片进度而逐步降低，也是奇妙的体验。
和以往的假面骑士剧场版很不一样，比起战斗更多挖掘人物，终于讲了一个成熟的故事。虽然没看全TV有一定影响，但不妨碍最后被感动。
这就是后真相时代
这不过是托马老师在费尽心思的拯救小陆（所有因不知真像而痛恨剑士们，深陷仇恨无法自拔的人民）的心灵的故事罢了，立意很深，但可惜很多人都没看懂。
客观3.5，感情分4.5星。虽然看上去是一场胡闹，实际上是严肃讽刺喜剧兼悲剧的底子。宇宙不过是一场真人秀，世界末日也不过是又一场社交网络上的狂欢。各人凭各人的初心做出自己觉得最合理的选择，没有任何问题。要抬头，要仰望星空，但是，富人的天空永远比你的更蓝也更广阔。挨个嘲笑，没有高低贵贱之分。
与希尔达妈妈找她一样，巨兽也要找妈妈~好萌好可爱。
科幻硬是拍成了喜剧，很好奇怎么邀请到这么多明星来当配角的。
