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.

正能量➕搞笑！很棒！
抢鲜，机翻字幕，快进。即使套路，不够惊艳，毕竟用大制作的效果拍出以前没拍过的东西，让我的兴致不错，3星半。以后出来翻译精修版，我想再从头来一遍
哈利贝瑞除了演技没啥进步之外（当然这种片子也没啥表演要求），整个人似乎也丧失了吸引观众的魅力。再加上这个片子里大段无聊的文戏，跟看俄罗斯科幻片也没啥区别。
这个跟《陈情令之生魂》有的一比。就故事内容来说想打一星的（无关演员），但是想到工作人员们的付出。只能说电影的门槛太低了
在互联网巨头眼里，专利权算个p，抄袭更是家常便饭。
虽然跟赘婿小说完全走了两条路，但真的可以把商战继续下去，现代与古代的混搭还是笑果十足的。
这片子不是不行，不是摆烂，反而是野心太大了，罗兰艾默里奇似乎用全片在控诉为什么《异形》不给他拍，《降临》不给他拍，《星战》也不给他拍，他不是只会拍灾难片，毕竟《独立日》是科幻类型在前，而事实证明，做减法对艾默里奇的作品更友好
剧情也好、特效也好，都停留在十多年前……于文文，谁在力捧她？
罗兰导演拍的末日片简直是一个模子刻的，重组家庭找回亲情，前夫哥拯救全世界，唯一亮点是“疯子教授”的逆袭。个人觉得三人上太空过于随意了一些，耳不聋眼不花的，毕竟男女主10年没怎么训练，宅男小胖胖更不用说了，至少让他昏迷一阵也真实一点吧。2202年了，这部灾难片居然把自己拍成了“灾难”。
所以其实月球不是月球，而是人类祖先派出来的星际飞船么，我去，这脑洞有点牛的
这就是科技兴国吧🚬
即便我一直不太计较科幻片的科学逻辑，只要特效视觉看得爽就好。但你们这么忽悠我有点过分了啊！其他不说，地球的武器就能那么轻易摧毁外星人工智能？你们确定这不是在侮辱我的智商？气愤！
看演员表才知道里面那个中国人是于文文，可这个角色存在的必要是什么，是让中国提供相关设备的纽带，还是单纯因为华裔和腾讯？
其实看阵容就可以想到了。。。德国艾，于文文【中方投资】。。。听起来像不像独立日2？
故事大纲基本上是照抄帕尔玛的火星任务。。。
好莱坞果然在退步啊……
开头以为灾难片，其实是怪兽片，结果是（伪）科幻片。剧情太老套了每一步都能猜到但又十分稀碎，开头铺垫了一小时又仿佛什么都没说清楚不过也不影响观看（意思就是毫无意义）。特权阶级光环笼罩家属，没有对象在世界末日会活不下去，男女主各自复婚路上已无绊脚石，华纳强塞中国剧情和角色，总而言之各种离谱
其实还可以，主要是三个主演都很好。有几个镜头挺讨巨物爱好者喜欢的。科幻设定还行吧但不能细想。这就是那种日常出门吃饭之后随便进影院无脑看看效果的片，奈何现在已经快没这种日常了……
月球那段拿出來深挖 再去掉一下沒啥意義的人物線感覺會更好一些
也就比流浪地球难看25块5毛钱的吧，毕竟只花了26块票钱。
