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.

b站提前观影，7分。看到最后原来是个大女主电影啊！从头到尾的不停打鸡血，努力制造冲突也很不容易，适合这个憋闷的春天。就有一个疑问……撞毁的其他车里没人受伤么？
至于说那个AI化身巨怪，毫无疑问是新冠病毒。人类的始祖也就是上一代从未被感染过的人群而已。
美国平民英雄再一次领先美国政府拯救了世界。这部片放在20年前可能会火的一塌糊涂，但是在如今观众连3D都厌恶的时代，实在有点乏善可陈。科幻片的想象力也只能靠灭世的灾难场景来充当卖点。那一套外星创世说，感觉就像在看什么抖音未解之谜一样，而且那唯一一点的科幻剧情时长，还就跟2个抖音短视频差不多。于文文这个角色的加入真的可有可无，要说不是带资进组我都不信，整个角色换成白人或黑人、或干脆整个删掉，对剧情发展和人物成长毫无影响。就连开口说那几句中文都看不懂有啥意义。不管是对付外星人、还是自然灾难，美国人拯救世界的方法只有炸炸炸，而且关键时刻一定是平民舍己为人，而不是公职人员。最后感叹，哈利贝瑞这么多年了还是这么好看。
但实在是有太多没什么道理的剧情点
流浪月球。非常割裂的故事主题，明明是要捍卫大局，却非要来个自私的视角，展现一下所谓的人文关怀。和那个被夸上天的国产片，缺陷都一样。没有了种族滤镜，评分终于自由了
把你看过的所有阴谋论结合到一起，拍一个合集，就是这部影片了。灾难片的灾难尺度是要有一个上限的，当月球坠落+外星人攻击宇航员+AI叛变+人类起源：异形普罗米修斯+大海啸+陨石坠落+核弹危机一起发生的时候，灾难就变成扯淡了……月球都撞上大西洋了，英国应该都被海啸灭了，将军们还担心核弹辐射影响人类健康呢。反过来说，美国发射几颗核弹就能把月球炸碎，也是扯淡。地球大气层都破了……还能恢复……肯定是奇异博士的功劳！
挺爽的 结局也不错 很多东西可太现实了 两人感情刻画的也很好，就是电影院那个1080放那么大的屏幕，太糊了hhh，最开始那一段骑车突突突的那一段，特别震撼，然后后面几个小反转也挺有意思，大晚上看的挺爽的。
2.5，看了一半，我已经没有耐心了，因为“平平无奇”或者说是“寡淡”，随便挑选一部如今的美剧都比电影可看性强！
预算有限，灾难场面也不多，不算A级大片，看imax的观感还可以，这片子不知华谊要亏多少。
学到一句话 It's better ask forgiveness than permission. 与其请求允许，不如请求原谅
午睡梦里浪费医疗资源叫了救护车，醒了马上看这部。乱七八糟
整个设定太蠢了，能把高度文明灭了的AI，在电影里蠢的像个蠢货，不管形式和内核都停留在非常陈旧的体系里，没有新意～2.5/10
到底是什么可以让这些大牌演员演这么烂的剧本？
最简单的提高观赏性的办法就是把地球故事的部分剪辑掉半小时， emo的部分剪辑掉半小时。这样剩下的90分钟我们就看看外星人，看看月球，看看灾难片大场面就不错。
特效都在预告里了。还是有一些想法和脑洞的，只是从灾难过度到外星文明科幻片，我也是没做好这个思想准备的。
这个灾难片一看就是艾默里奇的风格。人造空心月球加大战异形，想象力真是天马行空，至于什么天体物理原理和种种漏洞就不要再纠结了，毕竟是一部商业娱乐电影而已～（BD 25G）
【2022 吉伦哈尔 艾莎 犯罪 动作 经典翻拍 奈飞 环球 美国 一次故事】[视][20.11.13想看]一车一城，旅游宣传片。贝式摄影剪辑，爆炸克制，剧情短板，后期多反转，有些尴尬。lgbt，黑人，女权，种族，动保，多元素一笔带过，人质与婚育对事态影响。对比之下，华语电影工业化进程的发展空间很足，值得期待
另外加拿大人于文文的角色在美国人心里就是一个保姆啊
进入月球内部之后还挺好 这么好一概念怎么就着急忙慌前言不搭后语地拍得像个B级片 可惜
真怪力乱神！
