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.

把未來被機器控制的生活描述得很有趣。有焚書跟莊周夢蝶的討論，東方色彩。
日式情绪流主导影片，人、景、物交相辉映，全力渲染哀伤情调。311症结之面对亲朋骤然逝去而被留下的人们，该以何种方式走出内心的悲苦、然后重塑自己的生活。选材尚可奈何导演功力平平，叙事零碎情节连贯性不强，双视角互文未能补足更多的信息差（仅只将回忆再简单复述一遍）；隐晦百合情融于幻觉点到即止，情感力度不足；只有首尾两段意识流动画算是独到之处。幻化成水，相伴左右；死生茫茫，终归大海。
玛德这女的也太丑了，我真看不进去…本来不管是类型还是画面还是配乐我都感觉还是很不错的，但是真的一直都在丑到我，扛不住了…不看了…
三星半 有点拖又不够厚重，不知道哪里出了问题呢
关于故友的第二次葬礼。中段情绪满到受不了，忍不住按下了暂停键，回想起自己也有类似的时候，在他人的身上寻找到了故人的影子，在朦胧间以假定的另一个视角去看待同样的经历，只是对方打开那扇蓝色大门之后的心绪，始终只存在于想象。于是就这样游走在乱序的、仿若是他人的记忆中，在客观和冷静里失去了自己的记忆，情感方才爆发。缺点是“情感的开头”稍显儿戏，但除了那个部分之外，其他都还蛮不错的——关于“自己”的叙述缺失，是因为描摹中的“对方”是如此细腻。不同的摄影载体轮换间，岸井雪乃也真的展现出了属于演员本身的魅力。4.5归4。
开头的动画和最后的呼应做的很漂亮，尤其是穿着和服的老太变成枯骨上开出的菊花的模样。 剧情确实拍的有些零碎，乱，揭示谜底的方式也很老套。但我想我对于作品并不是抱着批判的目光去看，而是在通过作品获得一次又一次精神体验与自我解脱。 所以，喜欢这个剧情，干净的像剥开外皮的香蕉。像海的尽头被吞没的太阳，像少女的肌肤，像一颗光滑的内脏。跳动着的，温热着的，被吞没而又不消失的。 堇，从你那边能看到这边吗？这边现在放晴了。在更深处，更深处的地方，少女的暗流涌动最终在海岸线处带着残缺融为一体，やがて海へ届いた。
画面挺好，一如导演以往的风格，看着也有点意思，但真没啥感觉
其实并不觉得这片有多好，感觉视角转换不是很合理，但意外地喜欢。可能是因为放到3·11语境里，加上片尾动画那种“人死了就像水消失在水中”一样的画面，正好戳中个人泪点。生生死死往复循环，生者需要揭开伤痕、诉说记忆才能让死者以另一种形式陪同着继续走下去。
三个人演技加一起都凑不够60分，主要输在岸井雪乃永远一个造型演什么都一个样，中间几个群演的interview轻松吊打女主两小时的戏份；慢也不是问题打光及镜头起承转折都不错
黑色幽默，最后反转是说明机器人智慧确实没有人类高吗？
以“目光”串联起的电影。从中段隔开的对称结构，死者生前的凝视借由一部摄影机倒映在生者的视线里，死者借由生者的目光得以永生，但一切都只是倒影，所以现实中的追寻越是平静寡淡，记忆中的回望就越是汹涌。所有劫后余生的人们，请你们永远不要停止凝视，不要停止讲述，离开的人们就因为你们的凝视和记忆才永远不会被抹去。
想让智能干活的人类，想和人类接近的智能，各有自己的烦恼。另外，让渡“烦恼”也会增加烦恼。
这种drama的电影也只有地球人拍的出来了
感觉拍的有点碎，大乱炖。但很有意思，值得一看。这样的居家机器人请给我来一打
家居机器人们都很可爱，成年人类各种拉垮。所以机器人是有多想不开要这么执着于“成为人类”啊。人类中觉得小秘书是最可爱的了，喜欢笨蛋美人。女主一家的大团圆结局好牵强，以及最后两个机器人头互换也太精神污染了。片尾设计得很有意思。风格远远大于剧情和角色，不带脑子看还挺开心（但还是再吐槽一句：大团圆结局好膈应！
有意思，场景都在一个房间里完成，机器人和人类的交流很好玩，色彩艳丽，完成度很好，只是尤里克斯最后全体暴毙得莫名其妙
終於看到美波泡妞 但是真的女二選的太失敗 主要是和美波不是一個氣質 毫無cp感 像是被校園霸凌 跟班一樣 導致全程都無法入戲 日影和風總是不能好好選角
基本是三倍速看完，看完之后只想说幸好是三倍速还不算是浪费了太多时间……海啸幸存者自述一整个在云端的既视感，然而故事没讲好，大量的时长也没拍出足够出色的氛围，看了个寂寞
看了十分钟，删了，就这种不明所以乱七八糟的玩意，注定法国电影永远斗不过美国。
