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.

无愧的良知排行第一。
哪怕贴上再多元化的金箔，也无法改变它倒人胃口的败絮内核——殖民心态。
可能是期待值被口碑拉太低了，以至于看完觉得没那么糟糕？需要讲述的人物众多+导演的风格表达/融入+超英电影模式，相互给压力，整体感觉还是比较赶的，走马观花。
倒不是不好，作为赵婷第一部商业大片，能把这么大一盘棋下成这副样子，其实已经不容易了；但是总觉得讲故事可以更聪明一点，也可以更简洁明朗一些。如此多元化的漫威战队组合，也真的是让人开眼了，有几处看得真的尴尬，真不知道该说是时代的产物呢，还是政治所迫的牺牲品呢…
今年漫威电影可谓是失望至极，电视剧也就《旺达幻视》和《洛基》好看，决定了粉转路人。千篇一律的叙事，本以为能在《永恒族》里看到点好的，是我多想了。
不是说角色多，就能造就又一部《银河护卫队》。像《神奇四侠》之流不就死惨。赵婷的冷挂，导致各种角色都缺乏魅力。有限的时间难以塑造角色，无趣的主线更是乏味。总体还是无聊。最坑爹的是，这部作品直接将妇联4部的价值抹杀。
这次拯救世界的是亚裔
唯有女主的动作打斗场面还算不错，其余都一言难尽
LGBTQ的跟团旅行，到点下车摆pose打卡，又臭又长，一帮脑残过家家，几千年活到狗身上了，更别说各种私货
“宇宙很大很大，地球就是宇宙的一粒沙，我们人类连一粒沙都没有”，那么永恒族就是两颗沙吧。非要说夹带私货，那可能是各葫芦娃的功能设定和组队过程吧，随后在平克·弗洛伊德的TIME倒计时中，瑟后飞不出如来佛的五指山，伊卡洛斯像吃兔头般掰着变异族激光烧烤。随队纪录片成分如果大一点，或许能喜欢一些吧。
跳着看的，miyavi出来之后mv感觉更浓了，没有电影感觉。上年纪浅野气质还挺帅的，就是更西装败类的气质。md想看miyavi演浅野情人太不容易了
所以印度三哥最后真的是什么都没做，是把他忘了吗？哈卷还真是无处不在。
把人类的困境归结于某种失败的安排，然后是神们的内讧。
目前我的MCU最佳！夸夸漫威跨出的LGBT第一步，但我更想夸这部电影的女性视角，如此令人舒适，更重要的是讨论的主题就是与女性有关的，关于个体是否应该承担生育、繁衍的问题，第一次在超英电影看到这样的讨论。（如果可以看到1.43:1的画幅就更爽了555）
6.0，中规中矩，除了日本的街景霓虹独特一点，其他毫无特色。
《东游记》八仙过海，各显神通；《西游记》反叛天庭，五指山下。赵婷用东方古典仙魔禅思来演绎这个穿越西方历史的美漫神话，拉高了人类进化文明的哲思，这也使角色的内讧及转变显得不可理喻，或许是遭遇差评的真正原因。
在国家公祭日摘录公众号《为你写一个故事》中的一段话：无论南京大屠杀还是奥斯维辛集中营，都揭示我们人类虽然已经进入到现代文明社会了，看起来是现代国家了，但骨子里，人性还和当年茹毛饮血，弱肉强食的蛮荒时代没什么区别，一旦没有现代文明那些条条框框的约束，就可能在几天之内倒退到一个骇人的状态里。
出乎意料地好看 可能文戏过多而且节奏不是超级英雄片的节奏而票房不佳吧…… 文艺片导演导英雄片的气质很另类的好看！第一次看到活生生像人的英雄 最后我都感动落泪了！想去回头看看李安的绿巨人了！
让女性当主角，让女性当team leader，让女性当导演漫威才有救，漫威第一部真正比较diverse的电影，终于不再只有一个白人女性当平衡性别比例的工具人，而且主角是有色人种女性！！！女性角色塑造也都很好，好得仿佛不像漫威电影（嘲讽.jpg），看不得diverse卡司和人设的人建议还是去重温前十年的漫威电影吧你们也只配看又男又白的垃圾了（很mean
格局实在太小了，都不死了那么多年了，对人类对地球的认知却那么局限，满眼都是岁月静好，这种自我感动太虚了。可能试图描绘一些地球壮美的风景，但一想到那些可能都是造出来的，而且视角并没什么创新就立刻出戏了。多一星给赵婷，太不容易了，挣了钱体验一把就行了，还是别再拍超英浪费时间了。
