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.

父子情多余，攀岩技术比徒手攀岩的亚历克斯还牛逼，既然是灾难片，特效可不可以做个一块的，这种特效我在86年版的西游记看到过，石头特效跟孙悟空蹦出石头的特效有一拼，评论里吹特效的是认真的吗
前后一共看了三遍，从开头的紧张到后面的难过，面对灾难平凡人的挺身而出，铁道兵真的太不容易了。童年照都是二刷三刷的时候才反应过来的，原来小洪从小就被父亲举着向上爬。是我喜欢的电影。
试图用边角碎片拼凑现代社会样貌
在网上看过各种评论之后看的。我的感觉就是中国需要更多《峰爆》这样反映中国基建的影视作品。这部影片很专业的为观众呈现了测绘、爆破、施工、救援等等方面的专业知识。片中人物塑造的也很成功。虽然飞扑直升机有些夸张但是瑕不掩瑜。希望今后能有更好的这类题材影片。
朱一龙躺在山洞里等死前跟焦俊艳通话的时候我哭得稀里哗啦，边流泪边准备迎接凄美结局。然而下一秒他暴起飞奔跳上了回首掏的直升机，我因为一种被欺骗的感觉开始愤怒。不如叫蜘蛛侠
优秀自然灾难片和科幻片的出现是一个国家电影工业迈上台阶的标志，流浪地球做到了科幻片，灾难片还得加油
被普及了铁道兵的常识，和平年代牺牲最大的部队，感谢这群人
进与退，毋从犹豫。
在灾难面前，西方人的传说是诺亚方舟，我们祖先的故事是精卫填海，愚公移山。
完成度还是比较高的，参考好莱坞强森等演员演的一系列灾难电影，至少不应该是这个评分，不要一看是中国拍的什么什么电影，就自带有色眼镜，我们还是要更加宽容，鼓励不同风格不同形式的电影，打好基础才能长得更高，第一次看朱一龙感觉演技还是不错的，就是有点太干净了，有点不真实，特效也是，剧情也有点扯，不过还是有一些感动，建国以来在高原地区施工的铁道兵遇到的情况可能比这还要危险百倍，向他们致敬！
为啥我今年不小心看了这么多关于创作者的电影？还是疫情期间大家都在自我反思于是产出的都是这类作品？bergman island, drive my car, 还有这部official competition都是，而且都涉及戏中戏。这部不错，第一次看penelope和班德拉斯演这么夸张的角色，虽然是能够遇见到的结局但是整个过程也蛮有意思的，人物立的也好，很明显不是那种创作者沉浸在自己的文艺世界里的作品（是有在辣菜的意思），是在好好讲故事跟一本正经搞笑。整个设计真的蛮讽刺的，他们找的那个工具人大亨孙女能把我笑晕
父子情多余，攀岩技术比徒手攀岩的亚历克斯还牛逼，既然是灾难片，特效可不可以做个一块的，这种特效我在86年版的西游记看到过，石头特效跟孙悟空蹦出石头的特效有一拼，评论里吹特效的是认真的吗
不足之处，就是有些拖沓，如果电影时长控制在90分钟左右就更好了！
最心动的地方，是我们在愚公移山，我们在精卫填海。
缺点：不知道是导演还是编剧的问题，不够张弛有度。
2.5，父子情ok，但很多场面不必要，比如雨天徒手攀岩、乏力中爬直升机、坠崖敬礼大特写…这些场景尴尬到脚趾抠出一座布达拉宫…
陪基友看的点映，前半段不错，后半段形而上学地瞎扯，全片配乐非常糟糕，结尾铁道兵致敬部分相当不错，决定十一出行改坐火车
我觉得还挺好的，前面的爆破场景太牛了，裸眼3D的感觉，吓得我往后躲了一下🤣🤣🤣我是那种比较容易被亲情打动的人，后面亲情部分哭死我了，不错不错，中国自己的灾难救援片可以的！！！崛起吧！！！中国电影人冲！！！
向历史上一个特殊的群体致敬——中国铁道兵。
铁道兵是和平时期牺牲最多的军人，即使脱下军装，仍然以军人的标准严格要求自己。铁道兵集体转业后成立的中国铁建，是新时代中国高铁的建设者，见证了中国高铁从无到有，直到世界第一。截止2020年底，随着银西高铁的建成，中国高铁总里程达到3.8万公里，占世界高铁总运营里程的近70%。
