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.

Tell my son I didn't dead in my sleep.
还可以哦~帅哥美女~超级未来战警~~~~大场面，不错的片
话说是一部“缝合怪”式的个人英雄主义动作是，但是节奏很酣畅淋漓，能达到这一点已经让我对宝莱坞刮目相看了。
故事较老套，阵容还可以。美国人在德国搞事情，还是有关生物病毒，这个梗在当下有点意思。
前面花太多时间去铺垫了，完全没必要。九不搭八
又是一部让人连呼“卧槽”的印度动作片，爽感十足，虽然故事极其老套：恐怖分子冒充英军闯入会场，挟持了总理，提出各种要求，超级士兵挺身而出，一个人扫荡了恐怖分子。各种神剧感。但确实还是比较过瘾的
能看，但是逻辑漏洞有点多，不如同样是豆瓣低分的 黑蟹行动
省流：承包商让男主最后承包了很多老婆😅
抛开结尾的集体降智不谈，电影告诉我们一个道理：打工还是要认准头部企业，五险一金有保障。
剧情非常生硬，漏洞很多，战术动作也多不合常理。但剧中主角浓浓的悲伤，贯穿全片，氛围还是渲染的不错的。
那些说"爽"的人,你们确定你们真的知道什么叫"爽"么?你们真的接近过"高潮"么?
7.1分！意外还可以一看的剧情向B级动作片，美帝特种兵被扫地而出的死亡复仇之旅，美帝用完即弃的原特种兵，为了养活家人，加入了一个所谓的“国家安全”私人承包商，在柏林执行任务时失败逃亡，不料却惨遭上司追杀，男主随即发现自己被骗，这根本不是什么国家安全任务，而是纯粹的病毒解药数据窃取，为了利益集团释放病毒后好获取数十亿的利润，男主潜入回国，联合好友一起干死了坏蛋上司；全片氛围营造的不错，冷酷、严峻的窃取数据入侵，柏林街头逃亡之旅，最后结局落入俗套，差强人意；影片配乐做得很不错，能够有更强烈的体验和丰满的细节；
纯印度神片，类似印度神油，把总理和议会大厦都搭进去了，就为了显摆男主改造后的优异能力，而且居然没有歌舞，怎么能没有歌舞呢，气。。。
本片是派派Chris Pine和本福斯特继《怒海救援》、《赴汤蹈火》后第三次合作。派派年纪大了也开始接自己的《John Wick》了，类似基努里维斯、连姆尼森的中年硬汉，希望能够通过动作片再次向好莱坞证明：我还没老，我还能打！剧情来说依然是美国退伍老兵被坑然后复仇的故事，但是节奏把握的非常到位，103分钟毫无拖泥带水，重现了谍影重重般的追杀、反侦察？真实肉搏，让我这个动作片爱好者大呼过瘾。最后赞一下亚马逊，这片子本来美国时间4月1号上线的，但是资源提前一天流出了，今天就能在家同步北美院线爽上流媒体4K真是太爽了哈哈哈。
故事的差劲在于强转折的部分莫名其妙逻辑不通。为了高潮而做的戏就很难入戏。即便是节奏氛围拉满。派派这忧郁的蓝眼睛，充满破碎感的气质。大加分。
打戏拍得很努力，主旨很深刻，但剧情和剪辑太破碎
卡司可以的，战术细节也算有模有样，就是这剧情就真的是又老套又敷衍了。。
这几年的电影因为COVID-19的原因？逻辑呢！是制片方认为观众智力会下降，还是他们比以前更蠢了。BTW Chris Pine显老很多，停车场楼顶的对白能+1星
剧情老套，衔接莫名其妙，动作场面也没有特别，不知道看了啥。
没办法带入啊，拿十来个人命去灭口一个人，你多给点钱威胁一下不好吗？每次任务都暗杀哪那么多人啊
