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.

特利迦还算正常 但是识别度还是有点低。
我倒是很喜欢这种拼盘式的电影，就像在看同主题的短篇小说竞技，有种贾至王维杜甫一起去大明宫早朝赛诗的感觉。
我该对德凯报怎样的期待呢？
相比于tv优点为:终于变正常的防卫队，不再魔性的smile，人物塑造更上一层楼的剑悟，队伍内的羁绊，打斗中的插科打诨，虽然剧情细节一些地方仍有不足，电线钓加佐特那里过于鬼畜，但终究还是一部不错的续篇，期待导演的下一部德凯
沈腾的那一节，水平明显和上面的三节不在一个档次上，我还以为看的是少儿节目，制作落后而且粗糙
一切都会败给时间，每个人都是赤裸裸地来，又赤裸裸地归去。
庭审对决片,精彩辩论和总结；折射出法律,道德,阶级,人性……
人间世事 要女性不要圣母 于是那女孩被判了终身监禁 男孩就此失去了存在性
的确比TV版强一些，早能料到剑悟醒来第一句会说斯麦路斯麦路
最近的剧场版都堆场面堆角色啊。 一代版本一代神。 泽塔这身越看越像兄贵。
一件事情，二个方面，不同视角下对同一事件的诠释
电影拍得像广告，能不能不要再搞这种系列电影了...（看完只记得个鸭先知）
比TV好看多了。
拼盘电影第三弹，除了徐峥那个敞亮天窗的广告片之外，甚至都没法比较另外三支短片的优劣。本身就水准欠佳，还要强行缝合上升主旋律，结果可想而知。
拍的太棒了，自编自导，me too运动带来的“沉默并非同意”的理念延伸出来的故事。。角色家庭背景设置复杂。Worse than the violence is their contempt….比暴力更佳糟糕的 是他们的蔑视。
就冲TV质量做对比也得4星啊，完爆TV，真就栓条狗都比久弥直树写的强，憋塔冲击笑死我了，以后圆谷可别再整这种强力型了，受不了
故事很简单但很长，静静看了一个小时后大概就知道是一场辩论赛，人生角度不一样，这是双面性事件，是否是强奸，可以是也可以不是，快进到最后看了结果，被判五年的感觉像是给女主申诉的回复而已，哪里又有公正⚖️
主线副线叙述都满分，人物刻画有血有肉，深度艺术性两手抓，剪辑音乐台词都精彩。看似罗生门，但其实从动机入手就能很清晰地判断谁是谁非。男主的动机从来都是游戏。Even if the girl did give consent, but a consent based on a lie is not a valid consent!!! 我虽不是父权社会的直接受害者，但它无孔不入地渗透在生活的方方面面，谁也逃不掉。
徐峥和沈腾的都是喜剧篇章，徐峥拍的节奏好一些但是剧本一般，而且两个单元的任务感都太重了。徐峥的聪明之处就是他把任务压缩在最后10%，沈腾50%都有明显的任务痕迹。两个观感都不太好。
相比行动，动机永远是一切的起因与归宿
