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.

一切的设定都是可以给到满分，最后落到儿女情长也不能说就是格局小了，但你好歹把这两个人的感情戏做足啊。。。
前天中午英皇看的，整个厅就我一个人，照例带了瓶白葡萄酒进去，然后睡着了二十多分钟。
感觉核心是 Choice is an illusion. 前几次选择都和红蓝药片一样易懂，主角下定决心然后放手去做。但是最后一次选择，是Neo最重要的选择，由Trinity来做出，蛮巧妙。Trinity起身离开时就像游戏打出了一个BE，角色只能眼睁睁看着，这段配乐和节奏感很感人。怎么说，其实还是致敬和怀旧居多，在破旧影院对比最强（像终）。镜子使用会和《世界旦夕之间》有关吗，橙色天空会和《香草的天空》类似吗。对续集的自嘲和游戏制作套娃还挺有趣的。| 但是那一切都不重要了，看到若干年后的凯瑞安再次跑向山谷风，新旧镜头交织，就很touching。基努李维斯的头发看上去好顺滑啊~
电影还没有死，但黄金时代已经过去，并逐渐变老是不争的事实，就像这部电影一样老态龙钟毫无新意沉重乏味疲态尽显，不断的自嘲自我吐槽带给人的感觉不是幽默，而只有心酸。当电影人明摆着根本不想拍电影，观众对一部电影的关注点放在纯种东亚脸龙套什么时候出现的时候，电影这东西真的就已经名存实亡了。记得有人问“有没有这么一种可能，20年前的人比现在的人精神更充实？”怎么说呢？某些方面吧，毕竟20年前我们在看黑客帝国三部曲，现在只能看黑客帝国矩阵重启了。
除了动作场面一落千丈，尤其是枪战的摄影和剪辑，其他都一如既往的优秀
衍生于inception，概念甚至更纯粹，可惜小格局的故事在执行上也弱了不少，叙事推动极为无趣，还不如让阿祖多念念中英混杂的痞话呢。
不要要求太多，情怀拉满、彩蛋给够就行了。 英皇 不散No.248
官方致敬片 感觉同时还看了一部john wick hhhhhh（
第七次矩阵升级，主角回归，匮乏新意。记住尼奥，崔妮蒂是关键，爱。
一场怀旧视觉盛宴罢了。弄了一群《Sense8》的演员来演，害老子差点儿串戏。要不是美术还行，真·看不下去。
格局也忒小了 拘泥于小情小爱。。吴彦祖强行普及普通话 my家、朋友、关系、龟孙子。。疯了（斗篷红唇 致敬洛城机密？富商和遗孀也一直已60年代形象出现，礼帽、录音机、闹钟。。谁说美国人不是在痴迷于追忆过去呢？像个垂暮老人沉迷于自己年富力强的中年时代。。自怨自艾。。放眼东方，新时代的巨人正在崛起～）
几幕悲伤鸭会功夫飞不动玩梗弄情怀和过多推波气功，好像主要还是为了卖游戏。表世界种草莓没有里世界当码农好看，弹无实发bot海战术从来也不好看，不过两个基佬确实过于抢戏说着都快唱起musical
影片有一种淡淡的诺兰感，像是低配版的《盗梦空间》，原来编导丽莎乔伊就是诺兰的弟媳，没想到她居然是中英混血儿。影片暗示中美发生过战争，要不然吴彦祖扮演的角色为什么会被关在了集中营。吴彦祖中英文混说很有意思，于是就出现了poor 龟孙子这样的台词。
青春回来了！
因为有Maeve和Mae（编剧是不是故意的🌚🌚），多少有了一点点20年前致命魔术的感觉，但也可能只是因为太怀念当年的一眼惊艳再见倾心吧！从开始就知道结局，但还是看得津津有味，休叔啊！！！
一言难尽. 其实墨菲斯的替换差距不大, 但是Hugo的缺席简直是灾难,竟然还选Barney?? Uncle Barney? 超级出戏. 老年的男女主牵手的时候我一度怀疑自己在看父母辈的爱情...2020s好多怀旧炒冷饭, why?
D+ / 第一幕尚且承袭了「超感猎杀」里以剪辑为动力的影像节奏，由此勾勒并设计出充满活力的群像与动作戏，而随后陷入了“思辩”与“自反”的怪圈里逐渐丢失锐气，动作与情感皆被拖累。导演二人由兄弟转变为姐妹的过程中，其作品成功之处不在于兜售哲学概念，而是以人物的信念感与爱为动力建立connection，以此换取观众对影像的相信。而一旦周旋于概念本身，丢失了信念感，便与任何好莱坞套路商业电影无异。
用爱发更多的电？无论是情节还是画面质感都像是不相信险是虚拟世界的粉丝做出来的同人电影。
衍生于inception，概念甚至更纯粹，可惜小格局的故事在执行上也弱了不少，叙事推动极为无趣，还不如让阿祖多念念中英混杂的痞话呢。
中间回忆男女主故事线的时候，我分分钟穿回到盗梦空间里小李子带着玛丽昂游走在他们构建的虚无里的画面，直到看到有评论说编剧hi诺兰弟妹。合理借鉴？
