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.

乱世下，西门仁打着还百姓一个祥和临清的名义，帮知府大人灭了行武之人，以保官位，利用罗影对修罗拳的执念，派他杀了漕帮帮主罗永渠并嫁祸给他儿子罗通，害罗通被武林人士悬赏追杀通缉。
时隔一年又看到更三的枕刀歌系列了，真的是太满足了，让我重温了我的武侠梦
这部电影的人物情感与含蓄表达都非常“日式”，前面有不少无谓的情节，叙述与节奏都比较散，但是后期父子情与姐弟情的宣泄治愈再次回到了韩国拿手的煽情上，加上影帝李星民的演绎，确实是拍得细腻动人，分数都加在这方面上了。
你才是春节档第一呀。打斗一绝，故事人设以及配音都一股地道的港片老武林的味道。制作也足够精美，人物不知道是风格还是怎么，倒也比千遍一律的3d锥子脸看着舒服多了。甚至里面对错正义都有点哲学味道，有些子深度。
江渊小可爱，爱了爱了
意难平，心塞塞
动作戏绝对一流，可以说是天花板了（此处手动at雪中悍刀行），流畅丝滑。文戏还是一如既往的弱，西门大官人以为搞定一个知州就可以天下太平？另外人物建模略显粗糙。三星半，多加半星鼓励。
没有居所，没有银两，没有食物，甚至身负重伤，背负血海深仇，身外无一物，仅凭一身武艺，一丝信念，肝胆义勇，融此身入江湖，这才是真正的江湖儿女，活在此刻，无所畏惧，纵使天崩地裂风雨飘摇，枕刀而歌，尘世前行
男主看起来不像学生，年龄有点大。有个姐姐真好呀。有这么漂亮的女同学，男主竟然不感兴趣。男主严重偏科呀，数学、物理超好，语文不太行。女神好主动呀，送上门来了。妈妈死了，姐姐死了，父亲也很冷漠，一个人长大的滋味不好受呀。
去年就看了枕刀歌，当时大为触动，惊叹国产动漫的水平已经如此精良，今年的番外制作依旧精良，再续枕刀歌的江湖侠义吧
日韩都拍了一部铁道题材的《奇迹》。和是枝裕和的广告片不同，韩国人的奇迹故事是假的，两元站却是真的。电影本身三星，但铁道部分拍得太好看了，故给个四星。
西门仁这思路跟奥创差不多啊，先把能力者干掉，消除不公的祸乱之源。讽刺的是，这几个自诩正义的后来成了灭人满门的凶徒，以大义之名行杀戮之事，跟西门仁又有什么分别
动作设计太强了。且文戏有提升，枕刀歌的武侠观厉害在所有出场人物都有信念，因此正邪不能简单定论。但也有不足，荣哥儿太单薄了，江渊的入局太简单了。
【B-】文戏勉强够用，武戏打斗虽精彩但有点嫌多，最后一战真是酣畅淋漓看的很爽。反派西门仁塑造的不错，令人印象深刻。而其实最可悲的一点是，无论是主角还是反派谁赢了或谁输了，这个时代都不会变得更好一点，黎民百姓和这些混江湖的，最后依然没有半点希望
武打可，漕帮帮主被杀，少帮主成为疑凶，一众武林人士喊打喊杀，反派为清空临清武林的梦破了。
说实话武侠不在我的点上，但也不得不承认这个系列的武侠味道是做到位的，是很纯粹的。而且试图去探索一些更深层次的东西，比如那一群墙头草一般的“喽啰”，他们就是所谓的“无知之恶”。希望有人继续做，因为真正的国漫崛起，从来不是一枝独秀，而是百花齐放。
姐弟情处理得最好，姐姐演技也很好，撑起了这部电影
光就欣赏动作戏，也值得我给一个五星了，就想说看完绝对不吃亏，剧情简单也不费脑，干就完了！
应该可以说是看过最精彩的动画打戏。如果经费管够，估计会更加给力。
武戏依旧精彩，感觉西门仁有点像玄之玄，用阴谋铸造的权力，又如何避免自己不会腐败呢？侠以武犯禁，但只有侠以武犯禁吗？
