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.

每个演员都很到位，老戏骨艾恩斯把张伯伦的绥靖演绎的到位 希特勒的演员选的不好
最后这算是洗白张伯伦？以牺牲个人的私德揭露希特勒假面具？
在电影院看的3D，真是一部很燃的印度手撕鬼子的抗英神剧。剧情很棒，让人又哭又笑。这导演确实很牛，拍的片子几乎每部都是爆款。
Paul的演员实在太帅了，简直是我见过当代最帅的男演员。虽然他演绎的有点谢霆锋那种抽抽，但，瑕不掩瑜，他已经帅到让人根本不在乎他的演技，每次他一动我都已经在尖叫了。。。
文能阿普音乐室，武能巴霍宝莱坞，印度文艺是不是世界上反差最大的？抗英神剧比抗日神剧还神的多，你也不能说它不精彩，只是依据题材优势本来可以处理的更有感染力。印度男人的肉体有点子可口
燃爆了好吧！什么叫文化自信！！！什么他妈的叫文化自信！！！
但有意思的事这些矛盾点又让他如此吸引人
通过几个年轻人的视角，去展现二战前的各种政治风云，当直面希特勒这种大魔头的时候没有什么人有勇气去拔枪刺杀，普通人在历史的长河中注定都是砂砾。
最后主角回归，跟主角拥抱的是那个英国女孩吗。
两个人在慕尼黑图书馆重逢的那一幕太让我感动了！不同的思想和立场可以让两个挚友分道扬镳，可是抗争又让他们最终汇合到了一起。
台词很棒，很多值得细细地品。这是个双男主的电影？反正我觉得是吧。在德国的他没有开枪也许是因为他被朋友的一番话打动了，而回到英国的他没有继续从事公职，的的确确是因为他终于认可了朋友的话。是行动or再等等希望？两种选择都无可厚非吧。

用不得动弹的人物处理紧急事件 稍显一丝尴尬
载歌载舞，3个小时。打戏慢镜头。知道我看的多尬吗？还有玛利亚是干啥子被看中了？搞不懂。脸盲一直分不清谁是谁
印度版《革命往事》，我们的两个英雄知道自己是谁，为何而战。英雄拉姆是“火”，英雄ntrl是“水”，编导有意识将两种元素碰撞在一起，形成化学反应，这一点在州长官邸的战斗中被充分放大。视效丰富，有着惊人的想象力，是那种你应该在大银幕上看的电影。
和《巴霍巴利王》是一丘之貉，超现实主义的英雄史诗，不难看。
其他人都贡献了非常出色的表演
剧情节奏很慢的电影，又没有很享受的过程，没有看下去的欲望。粗略看解说，简单来说就是失去了阻止二战的一次绝佳机会，但历史不能够重演了，讲这些有多大意义呢？做好当下为和平付出的努力，维护当下世界和平才是正道。
从哈特曼和莱格特两人不同视角去还原历史的代入感很好
真牛逼啊，孙悟空贝吉塔啊这俩；画面真不错，猛兽齐出笼很精彩；三个多小时歇了好几气
