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.

Dan是当年Glee的Sebastian啊！！！（没看过闪电侠…）小伙子和狗狗都太可爱了，美国的田园诗生活幻境
剧情上是没有辱华的。不过国人的自尊心太强，恐怕看到中国人讲英语都会不舒服。事实证明选奥卡菲那当女主角是一个正确的选择，她几乎承包了这部剧的所有笑点，即好看的那些部分，除了她其余都是一般般。
看起来fancy实际上到处是bug的故事真是够了。 两星都给Awkwafina
04.09.2021 | @ Regal Village Park | 吹牛吹大了，天天和同事介绍说Tony Leung是我从高中开始的霓虹甜心，别说，这个角色也真没写坏！在漫威电影里算是上乘了。Trivia以后可以问有多少个Marvel超英在三番赛过车。JD的广告植入简直是美呆了。尚气得到十环的一半的时候内心闪过五环之歌。
11.10 动作戏很棒，梁朝伟很帅，东方文化底子很扎实，主旋律英雄叙事很完整，没在影院看实在太可惜了！
我吃的盐比你吃的饭还多，最后的双彩蛋非常nice
既然铺垫了一堆山海经神兽，最后那只完全西方的怪龙和中国有啥关系？对中国的影想象依然是阳朔月亮山下的小农经济前现代社会，挺西方的。适合在唐人街电影院成年播放，但真的不用来中国。
铺天盖地的差评让我用吐槽模式打开电影，没想到除了后面突然秒变怪（神）兽大战之外也没多大槽点，动作戏也还蛮精彩的，比之前的《花木兰》不知道好上多少倍了。。。
男主颜值还行，有点忠犬攻的感觉，看完之后很想搜一个叫peterfever的神秘系列。
渣枪版不好打分，大片观感靠视听嘛。最后怪物大战镜头和动作挺精彩，若视效能比《哥斯拉2》我观感应该超4否则最多3.5。极中规中矩，编剧完全没加过班似的：这个场景是干嘛的就是干嘛的，一点什么交叉叙事横生枝节都不会有。好比最后父子局，就父子局，当爹的一点“把儿子挥开、自己去凿一下墙”的心思都没有，那我请问你来黑暗之门干嘛来了，就为了打儿子？你不是来救老婆的吗？各位功夫片迷还记得《功夫》里你打我我打钟、打成喇叭给你送终的桥段吗。不过漫威啊超雄啊也就这德行了。PC还未充分惠及亚裔，主流未深刻反思过亚裔刻板印象，加上些小原因，本属好心的片子反汇集了刻板印象：黑帮赌场眯眯眼会功夫，只有外男亚女（大家习惯了，外女亚男反而突兀，可能是这种求稳的考虑？）祭祖卡拉OK身份迷茫非属刻板印象。选角专挑那种长相，我神服
魂殿蛊惑大陆上最强门派十环帮斗宗首领打开魂殿禁地，众魂殿精英进入大陆吸食众魂师强者灵魂意图复活邪恶的万年魂兽，奈何不敌主角十个万年魂环。 这个最终小BOSS你得会是让主角一行解决了，出了这个村庄分分钟被斯塔克科技几百发龙鳞导弹炸掉。。
白月光，照天涯的两端。在心上，却不在身旁。
几乎是当下好莱坞对于东方（动作）电影最尊重的表达，其出发点几乎等同于《黑豹》对于黑人群体（当然东方观众的态度和立场反而成为值得讨论的另一个话题），对于华语电影更是一种效仿的样板（如何说故事、如何建立丰富的世界设定、如何通过角色设定营造娱乐化效果），除去梁朝伟，周采芹的外婆形象反而更加令人印象深刻。
爆米花电影。西方娱乐片中的东方，可能就是神龙加武术。梁朝伟先生还是那么帅。
有趣可爱，不过原以为是个科幻幻想类的片子，比如那个神秘的洞会藏着什么有趣的秘密，最后发现是个挺普通的探案小故事……
一锅乱炖，看了半小时实在看不下去，梁朝伟越老越有味道，支撑看了半小时的强大动力。
非常的，不太行。只有前三分之一是好看的（还要剔除回忆部分），所以这套班底，如果不拍漫威，不拍中国的部分，只拍美国的部分，变成尖峰时刻式的成龙功夫喜剧，估计能有7.5-8分。以及这个剧本也就比花木兰好一点点吧…尚气这个人物写得也太烂了。
中国人谁不爱动作片呢，不爱不是中国人😂😂😂有几段打斗还蛮精彩，比如大楼外面。竹林迷宫，龙，神奇动物什么都蛮令人“哇”的，故事反正就是一锅乱炖，充满了浪漫主义想象，充满了yin and yang，世外桃源般的地方。。。最后，男主有点像平平，让我老跳戏。。。。适合去电影院看。这不比复联好看么☺️
这不是洪家铁线圈拳吗？ 这怕不是对血债血偿有啥误解？而且你也不像你妈，外公的英语也不叫Waigong。。。除了特效一无是处。
