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.

生活历练人生，梦想照亮前路，《奇迹·笨小孩》让人感动的不在于创业者成功背后的辛酸，而是恶劣环境下放手一搏的勇气与坚持本我、向往生活的希望。成功向来不是衣着光鲜名利双收的表象，而是推动社会进步、为更多迷茫的人指明前路的开拓者精神。题外话，四字弟弟的演技真心不错。
文牧野的影像比徐浩峰好一些，都是精确的设计，但匠气还是少很多。
看完才发现这更像是个创业励志电影
故事很简单，但是很真实，演的就是奋斗中的你我他。
鄙人不才，活了二十多年第一次看见片尾给虚构人物配结局字幕的“现实主义”作品，真是开了眼的
不得不说，四字的演技真的愈发成熟了，过程我觉得很棒，剧情也有跌宕起伏，有欢笑有泪水也有拼搏，最后结局太过于happy ending了也可以理解，春节档电影嘛，但是说实话，拍到电梯那段大家释放内心压力就可以结束了，后面的演讲完全多余，搞得好像每一个人物都是有现实人物对应的…
1.现在这个创作环境，导演能把电影拍成这样，很佩服。 2.千玺很适合这个角色，完成的很好。
应该是近几年最直击心灵的一个电影了，想说这些年恐怕也只有《我不是药神》能给人这种观感，发现是同一个导演。小女孩演的真好；电影里易烊千玺抱着的小bb女孩穿着袜子，和后面眼睛大大的小女孩表情无辜无辜的，都给人非常真实的感觉，尤其有小孩的更懂；那个拳击老哥，外形挺日本电车之狼的，这个反差说明导演会用人；连集装箱都被压扁的那一刻，恐怕连观众都彻底绝望了，先抑后扬的手法运用的非常不错，最后验收见老总估计所有观众都是跟着捏一把汗的恨不得叫老总直接签约。片子穿插了搞笑，温馨，接地气，煽情等各种元素而又不违和，每个配角都出彩，这片子本该是个大片，按照那些所谓票房冠军的对比。从春节出资源就压在硬盘里没动过观看的念头，今天无聊打开看了几分钟就停不下来。
过程才是现实，结尾只是理想。小人物奋斗史，有笑点有泪点，四字的表演越来越娴熟了，他没有用外在表演去推动角色的变化，是用内在的细节一点一滴的注入，没有一句台词说苦，但从身形动作、面部表情、乃至一个无力的眼神，他就是能一把将你拽住角色的苦难之中，为一个少年承担着人生不可承受之轻的重担。不过同《我不是药神》相比还是少了些打动人心的力度，真正经历过生活的人都应该明白，努力不一定真的有回报。
不得不说，四字的演技真的愈发成熟了，过程我觉得很棒，剧情也有跌宕起伏，有欢笑有泪水也有拼搏，最后结局太过于happy ending了也可以理解，春节档电影嘛，但是说实话，拍到电梯那段大家释放内心压力就可以结束了，后面的演讲完全多余，搞得好像每一个人物都是有现实人物对应的…
初五，祝大家好景常在！
当年我嘲笑掏粪男孩的时候，80年的老板跟我说，他们当年追小虎队的时候苏有朋也还是个孩子。
不客气地说，电影是一部大型宣传片的节奏，尽管是个普通的故事，但是其实可以容纳更多肉进来的，可以更丰富。千玺的演技还要磨练，还是觉得有点收着，放不开，对妹妹没有那么亲近。还没有“周冬雨”的演戏的背影。但是，仍然是赚足了我的眼泪，我哭是觉得生活太苦了，大家都苦，没人不苦。
但文牧野确实是一名优秀的项目制作人，他的电影很难说具有多层次的艺术价值，但在影视冰河世纪的当下，能够凑齐如此之阵容并予以完成还能按期上线，已属工业丛林中的人中龙凤了。
主旋律正能量电影，讲述深圳青年创业的故事。
文导讲故事的本领很棒，虽然没有《我不是药神》那么震撼，但依然很励志，还会戳到你的泪点，易洋千玺的戏越来越棒，这次甚至超越了《送你一朵小红花》中的演出，而王宁、章宇、田雨、齐溪、许君聪一众演员们的搭戏也都很精彩，在疫情肆虐的当下看完它，的确能让人振奋不已！

咱就是说这是春节档最佳，没有之一，每一个镜头，每一拍节奏都舒服到位！
易烊千玺演技不错，剧情很奇怪。和她一起看的。
主旋律的作品能拍成这样，煽情却克制住了滥情，整体积极向上折中，也算是在中国影视环境内发掘出了一条新路。
