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.

永远不能忘记的!
主席说的没错，打得一拳开，免得百拳来，这场仗我们不想打，但又不得不打，那个时候我们的志愿军用血肉和意志保卫了祖国，才有了我们今天的生活，中国走到今天真的太难了，致敬先烈。
苦情版一点就到家，那个给予我们美好希望的内核是一样的，只可惜这只是生活最小的那部分，生活大部分都止于那次台风
美军感恩节丰富的伙食和我国志愿军在雪地的冻土豆，美国轮番的飞行机坦克轰炸和我国落后的武器，都形成了强烈的对比。
其它方面都不错，最大的败笔是最后那个敬礼，堪称恶心了，把前面中国人的顽强作战完全抹杀，因为这个动作的潜台词是：就连强大的美国军队也不得不佩服我们，给我们敬礼。这个动作表示，导演或编剧心理上认为美国军队更强大，而且他们更有道德感，很大程度上美化了美国军队。而实际上，当时美国人的真实动作是补刀，没有什么敬礼，美国人，强盗的后代，没有那么高尚。
4.5。不把电影当作成功学教科书。困境的不断堆砌在一方面凝聚情感抒发的力量，另一方面则引导观众聚焦于人物本身，从而打开观看杜琪峰式爱情喜剧的窗口。剧作的漏洞百出与人物间真挚的情感便是此类电影的两重性。
境由心生。
了解了很多抗美援朝的故事，深有感触，那些英勇坚强的事迹，保家卫国的信仰，艰苦残酷的环境，对比最可爱人们牺牲，太心痛和感人了。
就是结尾突然戛然而止
一个来自深圳华强北的创业奇迹，一个20岁年轻人所承受的生命之重，繁华城市背后底层打工人的奋斗画卷。感人至深的兄妹之情，同甘共苦的工友之情，责任与担当，无奈与挣扎，不屈与坚毅，这一幕幕场景存在得那么真实，以至于如此容易让我们感同身受。每一个生命的背后都有着不同的悲喜，在他们身上，你会发现所谓奇迹，也许只是凭借本能坚韧而活，却在咬牙坚持中，不一步步穿越了绝境。新的一年，希望多几次这样的感动，多一些属于我们自己的“奇迹”。
故事讲的很别扭 看完让你觉得这真的是在讲故事
额额 编剧过于理想化了 底层的挣扎很艰难的
也是二战后，当时世界上两支最骁勇善战的部队之间的殊死搏杀。
最可爱的人啊多想对你讲，如今山河无恙如你所想，最可爱的人啊我们不会遗忘，是你们用生命守护这万里山河!是你们用生命保护祖国和人民!是你们用生命捍卫国家尊严!
全员演技在线，是那个深圳该有的样子。
作为一个常年剪微课视频写镜号的人来说，看文保保的电影极度舒适，可以说没有一秒废镜头。大爱这个故事，把人压到绝境，最后凭借个人魅力带领团队坚持到奇迹来临，愿每个人身上都能发生这样的奇迹
合家欢应景典范，就是音乐这情绪助推剂用的是不是太多了点！！！
中国版幸福来敲门。看的时候落泪数次，致敬每一个努力生活不放弃的人！
“只要咱努力，没什么不可能。”
