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.

战争是惨烈的，电影能展现的只是其中一小部分
最后的一人报道着实戳人，这部的水门桥更加惨烈，枪林弹雨之间，七连用血肉之躯捍卫了军人意志，彰显了中华之魂！
群像的描画各有侧重，人物特征鲜明，离场的方式各有不同，惨烈恐怖如斯。保命光环在真实战争中从来不存在，之前看到运送志愿军战士遗骸回家的新闻就已泪目，再想想有多少灰飞烟灭的……
一顿狂轰乱炸，真的是一顿狂轰乱炸，演员这妆化的我真难受，又冷又疼
看完心情很沉重。
但可以看到的是技术上的进步。
美军残暴战争残酷战斗残忍，和平难得而不可得，致敬英雄，超越生死。
感动震撼，不可磨灭的意志。被七连伍万里最后报数：“第七连穿插应到一百五十七人，实到一人”这句话整得涕泪横流
场面做的好，作为电影是合格的，虽然与战史上的三炸水门桥有区别，而并没有展现冰雕连……
战斗中终于有了点战术的影子，伍千里牺牲时配乐的钢琴曲和片尾孙楠的歌太破坏情境了。
志愿军战士永垂不朽！美帝打朝鲜战争时已经富了100多年，当时的工业全球第一，三次舍生忘死的炸桥，美帝最后用两天在日本赶制钢板空运到水门桥一铺就过桥了。能够取得胜利，靠的是英勇无畏的精神！72年过去，国人当自强，科技创新迎头赶上。
没有冻不死的英雄，更没有打不死的英雄，只有军人的荣耀！
“不是飞机大炮，不是导弹坦克，也不是核武器。而是一群能自由而幸福生活的人们，保卫他们的生活方式的决心。”
（华夏影城长沙龙湾商业广场店）陪长辈去影院看完了这部电影，第一感觉就是真的太长了，电影叙事大逻辑含糊，很拖拉。说实在的，剧情、画面、演员的演技特效都可以，就真的是太拖拉了。原本以为结束了，又整一个小高潮，高潮完了想着终于要结束了吧，md又来一个刺点，转折太多都有点看腻了。另外最后是哪位大佬把三位指导导的戏合在一起的？敢情是谁也不想得罪么，电影结尾就是三位导演的三段结尾生接在一起，甚至看风格就知道哪一段结局是哪一位大佬的风格。最后一段结局结束的时候的结尾音乐也是很硬，和画面不相融。整体来看，从画面、演技来看，给电影四星，剧情拖拉扣一星，综合三星。
电影惨烈 电影背后的历史更惨烈
除了最后的“实到一人”让我有点感动外，整部戏冗长无聊。
多一星给志愿军
主旋律片子，前赴后继的英勇，还是可以让人共情的。
至于这场战争，不必作过多的评价，看看现在的朝鲜和现在的韩国，所有答案一目了然
继承了第一部的风格，依旧是大量的绿幕取景，以战争的惨烈来博得观众好感；特效比第一部有所提高——让人看得更舒服了。《长津湖》妄图拍出《大决战》的辉煌，然而却只能望其项背。7.0/10
