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.

现代童话, 一个包容一切的母亲（jamie的控诉可能也是真心的)。各种会遇到的问题和家人以及周边的关系都浅尝辄止的点到了。This was me这一段我很喜欢，捯回去看音乐剧原来是新加入的。各有取舍，我都挺喜欢的，毕竟drag算是小众。
中规中矩的退伍老兵套路故事，没被国家好好对待，自谋生路发现惊天大密，九死一生悲情收尾。说是低配版《谍影重重》也不无道理，其实比《赴汤蹈火》还是不如。5
40 what about the recon guy? the one holding his family photograph when he bled out? what about the old man helping James who has two beautiful daughters and left his family 13 years ago?
73/100。直观上，本片在歌曲与编舞上的吸引度，让《致埃文·汉森》马上变得毫无魅力；话题上，对于LGBT人群中不常出现在影视中的“T”的深度刻画，也比《致埃文·汉森》并不稀奇的青少年危机问题变得没了什么意思；但是在剧情上就跟《致埃文·汉森》半斤八两了，虽然都有一些不那么平庸的点（《致》的善意谎言的建立和戳破、本片中认清“道不同不相为谋”的事实），但整体还是有些没劲甚至不符合电影的定义，而本片更是利用了许多煽情的桥段来扭摆观众情绪，一下子让逼格降了不少。不过对于人物的刻画还是很丰满的，男主和Richard E. Grant自然不必说，但让我印象最深刻的却是Sarah Lancashire，她可能塑造了今年最伟大的母亲形象，而她角色的所作所为，更可以让某个还将“娘炮”视为错误的国家自惭形秽。 @2021-10-12 17:07:04 @2021-12-23 01:22:14
低配版《谍影重重》，优秀标兵面临退役中年危机。生活重担房贷压在身上，曾经为国家付出自己，现在却再也不能实现自身的社会价值。被迫加入雇佣兵组织，执行一些国家不见得光的任务。结尾让我有点想不到，但是整个故事结构简单，推进缓慢，感觉更像是一个生活剧情片，而不是军事动作电影。里面穿插着家庭，军队的兄弟情义等裹含的元素，打戏相当相当的少。如果是冲着像《谍影重重》那样的打斗戏就基本可以告退了。你把它当成像一部网剧那样 一点一点来播放的话，那还是挺不错的。
出乎意料的标准好看，下水道一幕像极了勇闯夺命岛里的一幕，节奏感和悬疑感的叠加与把握也很到位，在黑医生那里是一个高潮。然后这个主题...大反派是鲍小强，我觉得这个表意完全可以引进了。
六分都没有？就冲这演技六分起码的吧。尤其是杰克鲍尔招募男主时，男主迷茫的眼神。剧情也很流畅啊，
决战部分的动作戏好仓促。男主上级帮男主杀自己金主缺少说服力。
那个被误杀的生物学家，设置的三个密码都是和家人有关的，和妻子在哪里认识，大儿子在哪里出生，准备给第三个孩子起什么名。
枪战和动作戏好看，剧情就算了吧……Chris Pine还是帅，请演两部爱情电影吧
动作戏挺OK的，就是剧情稍微莫名其妙了点。
情节有硬伤，故事倒是一个好故事，而且《赴汤蹈火》的两兄弟演技都很在线，不知道编剧和导演咋想的？浪费了......
复盘一下，当初新冠刚出现的时候谁最先站出来说自己有特效药的？有疫苗的？
大体上和好莱坞类型片没什么区别，只是在行进节奏上显得稚嫩，热闹有余，精彩不足。影片最大的问题是，虽然角色战斗力大幅提高，但人工智能这个影片主打的元素还是描述和展现的太少，远不如类似设定的《升级》有趣。另外，这个男主外形身材可以，耍帅扮酷也挺在行，但演技这一块，基本是没有的，一点也没有。
剧情非常老套，而且还没解释清楚。人物设定也很老套，主角就是能打倒所有人。前半小时看得我坐立不安，实在是太无聊了，去柏林开始好看点。
感同身受，压力巨大，不得已而为之，良心却深受其害，结尾大战太潦草，还不如韩影柏林。
剧情没啥逻辑，文戏也没啥推动剧情的意义。也就柏林枪战有点意思。
"回家是記憶"，在肉體和心靈上所受創傷仍舊被作為消耗品隨時棄之以及相互自相殘殺上也是暗喻了老兵群體和大阿公之間的不平等關係和衝突是內耗的實質，死亡和不得永生的悲慘下場是可預期的結果。
主角作为谢霆锋的同龄人显得有些老气，但是作风还是很硬派的。之前看他的星际迷航系列，很不错。
风格想模仿碟影重重那种冷峻的特工电影类型，可还是差了些… 杰克鲍尔客串反派，真的好了很多，被军队抛弃的男主做了承包商执行特工任务其实自己就是弃子做的也是不光彩的暗杀，街头枪战还是拍的不错的，败笔是没有展现特工的作战战术和技巧，经费少也不能这样啊… 拿手枪跟屋子里拿狙击枪的干？你这是在干啥呢…
