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.

但如果我是女主 会选择把孩子还给他们
喜剧部分笑点十足，可惜看不到女主角真正的成长，白人夫妻太虚伪最后洗白太刻意
一部大制作，因为这样或者那样的原因不卖腐，是不行的。一部中年gay子离婚实录，新王当立，斯卡曼德骨科美帝义不容辞——我觉得哥哥的戏份都是卡特纳凭本事赚的❤拉手了耶他们拉手了❤好幸福啊看到他们拉手
代孕是敏感话题吧，印度代孕合法？一如既往有印度歌舞。
连续剧拍到第三集了，我是真的累了，也不知道自己为什么要一大早上跑来imax看一群人瞎比唠嗑。全片唯一情感波动老头摸胸，但你要说这个也是糖这个也能磕那大可不必，嗑药鸡也挑食：-）// 对这个系列的感情我只能用一个不恰当的比喻那就是——久病床前无孝子
就有種兩頭不到岸的感覺
而且節奏真的挺拖拉的
七分，影片想用轻松的语言探讨了一个不让人轻松的“代孕”的话题！ 所谓存在即合理，还是希望各国有严格的法律对其加以约束……
热评那个教唆大导演来东北拍同题材电影的一定是个男的
新的时代新的发展，势必会因贫富的差距和人性的存在，而引发争议和突出矛盾。与其争论“三观”问题，不如跟进相应的制度，让法律尽快照亮阴影，这才是当务之急。至于电影，用喜剧闹剧的形式呈现揭露阴影，离谱的背后，有郑重地审视与思量。
有点太梦幻美好了，真实的代孕比这要残酷不公的多，多少天真的女孩像米米一样在对代孕一知半解的情况下把身体交出去，获得的报酬却完全与承担的风险不对等，但她们却没有米米身边支持她的人，那对美国夫妇算是典型的买方了，自私无情，只把孩子看成商品，目前代孕合法最大的问题是无法保证代孕母亲的权益，在这条产业链她们付出最多但地位最低，而这部电影完全没有触及代孕产业的深层，把一个现实题材拍的过于肤浅。
主线是一个既美化但也反思的代孕故事，副线是万年不变的印穆矛盾。以及涉及肤色歧视等问题。女主吃了一块裁缝粉笔？！那玩意能吃？！？
如果每次都惊艳于印度电影的题材 那本身就是一种偏见
《神奇动物: 邓布利多之谜》是绝对可以让cp粉丝们狂欢的作品，官方糖比预想中的猛太多！整体优于前作《格林德沃之罪》，罗琳与大卫.耶茨有了一定的转变，神奇动物比重很大且重要，回归了“神奇动物”这一主题，配上炸裂的特效场景与宏大的战斗画面，让你感觉这四年真的没白等！
看完be like:啥意思 没必要 我好想看哈利波特啊
预告片真真就是所见即所得！节奏很奇怪，故事简直不能更闹着玩，情节推进更是一塌糊涂，彻底朝着卖弄奇技淫巧的方向去了……不断洗脑自己一定是憋大招做铺垫，毕竟只要有后续就一定会看，坚决拥护罗罗！
这片子 结尾其实不漂亮 有点没劲 故事合理性也不强...但是依然是个好故事
是不是我课补得不够多啊…？啊？啊？
这部神奇动物好少，除了护树罗锅、嗅嗅，和bug神兽麒麟，就只有蝎尾兽、球遁鸟、气翼鸟了。魔法世界的世界观拓展只有厄克斯塔里监狱还有点意思，其他了无新意，所谓的秘密也都是早八百年知道的剧情。
题材相当不错，表现的是代孕的问题。可惜导演将其拍成了肥皂剧，让影片缺乏深度。影片在角色的设置上，先设定购买的美方与出售的印方，然后又以民族属性划了条道德界限，并据此批驳美国夫妻的自私与印度人的无私与博爱。至于代孕的现实问题及道德困境，导演则无暇顾及，或者说没有能力进行深入探讨。好在故事热热闹闹，观影过程并不沉闷。
