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.

很好看，对广州的描绘非常细致。影片中出现的云，我手机里有同款！！！！本来只准备打四星但我身边居然有人跟风认为导演夹带私货（他看都没看过就看网上说的就这么认为了），所以我要打五星，气死这些蠢货。
吐槽一句，这种科幻公路片难道不比《无依之地》看着舒服？
那我们现在就出发吧
片子叫芬奇不叫杰夫，是因为废土设计的机器人杰夫一直叫着芬奇的名字。它被制造出来的使命是保护那只小狗，将死的人希望让这微小崇高的人性延续下去。就那么简单，世界让你我成为孤岛，但我最爱的机器人，照顾好我最爱的小狗，总会有希望的。
2021遗憾之一没有去电影院观看这部良心巨作。很喜欢里面的每一帧画面。
And maybe they'd be happy for a while” 很久很久以前 Finch存在过 挺好 PS: 无论在什么时候 一个人会遇到的危险永远来自同类 当Finch连夜逃避人类追车那一刻 人类的消亡已经注定
有为梦想拼搏的热血，有长辈和朋友的友爱，也有冰冷现实的打击。小人物面对大时代，舞出自己风采，有一种悲壮。舞狮电影之前只看过黄飞鸿之狮王争霸，这部感觉也蛮好的。美术太赞啦，我爱木棉花。还有影片插曲也都很好听。昨天下午于影院。
我依然在男主死后感到一种窒息的孤独感
汤姆汉克斯是少有的充满脆弱感和信念感的演员 哪怕是末日题材 哪怕角色病入膏肓 依然有一种哀而不伤的坦然 全片的主题音乐也非常好 Don McLean的American Pie “A long, long time ago
吐槽一句，这种科幻公路片难道不比《无依之地》看着舒服？
现在的流媒体时代，电影也越来越故事片化，像美剧一样，导演存在感越来越弱，故事的大数据感越来越强，优点就是故事片回归到了“讲好一个故事”这件事本身，不疾不徐的讲一个故事，娓娓道来，缓缓地进入一个男人的内心。这个故事其实挺文艺的，末日背景真的只是一个背景，提供一种气质，文艺的内核很动人，不死在金门大桥也算是不落俗套了。

看这种片子吧，主要是一个感觉。找个沙发躺下，放轻松，跟着主角出发，过程中也许有些情绪上的触动，或者加上一点点浅浅的思索，享受过程，就好了。
很没劲的糖水片。这个剧本适合拍一个CG短片给《爱死机》之类的collection凑一凑集数。
要有爱和光啊～～～～～～
希望未来也能够有独属于中国的女性题材动画。
11.2 呜呜呜，如果这种事情发生了，我还是愿意第一轮就死，太揪心了。芬奇关于金门大桥的那段话，日后完全是可以放进后摇的。
和《绿皮书》一样让人恶心的作品。无论是白人对黑人、还是人类对机器人，两部电影里所描绘的浓厚感情不过是源于对方的忠诚和付出罢了。把一个能够产生自己思想情绪甚至梦境的机器人仍然塑造成忠诚、无条件付出和憨厚可爱的像一条狗的形象，只能说明这部电影的导演和编剧对人类身份自视甚高的优越感和过于贫乏的想象力。更遗憾的是，在这部电影里，如此高级的机器人连条狗都不如，他产生和存在的意义，不过是为了一条狗。吐了
人设造型上，初看男主是有些不适，后期把西瓜头剪成寸头，看着清爽多了。
