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.

把貪戀和慾望去除，就是人工智能和動物的真情世界
开头还挺末世朋克科幻的，越往后越冗长，不知所谓
《荒岛余生》+《我是传奇》+《遗愿清单》，很成熟的小片，温馨治愈，强大的电影工业实力是其实现的最大助力。
2. 瓦力也没有那么坚牢，一跌就散，遇不到他的EVA。
权游处理特效的方式，特效重头戏都放在开头40分钟的基地。那人，那机器人，那狗。
社恐福利，适合一个人看的公路片。二十年后，陪伴他的从排球变成了机器人。汤姆•汉克斯，从阿甘一路跑来，见证了帝国的衰落。
20220323，平平淡淡的片子好像没有高潮，如同表面平静的大海，实际蕴藏巨大的能量。独自一人静静看片，独自体验主人公芬奇害怕孤独的感觉。
“你去看世界了吗？” “…总是有各种各样的阻碍，健康、工作、妈妈、世界末日，还有…我只是一直没找到机会。”
年度最佳。这部电影比起「讲好了一个故事」更适合用「讲好了人类的一个行为」更为合适。先行者对弥留之人往后生活的担忧以及希望被嘱托者快速成长扛起家庭的迫切，杰夫的诞生、芬奇的教导与发怒，这些行为情绪背后所承载着的情感都太精准了，温暖又残酷。杰夫只是人的意象，只是载体，因为后生的人无法快速成长，因为现实的环境也没有末日来的无助。所以这并非末日科幻，而是人类爱意在生死离别那段时光的澎湃汹涌。
一部电影包含3种触发泪点的元素：狗、机器人和将死之人。三者都很脆弱，其中一方受到伤害都会引发共情。小机器人没了令人心碎，演到最后简直提心吊胆，怕出现什么岔子。再说一次：汉克斯出演的角色真的都是遭罪的命啊！
trust是什么，逝去的人们不懂，成了留给机器人和狗的课题。小狗演员Seamus真可爱，据说是爱尔兰㹴混血
科幻寓言小品。一个性格孤僻自绝于同类的人在动物与机器人身上创造关于羁绊、信任及同行的回忆。

象征着希望的太阳成为了摧毁一切生命的源头，于是汤姆汉克斯又一次诠释了captain这个角色，肩负起了寻找希望的使命！啊不对，应该是jeff啊！这片应该叫jeff啊！
三个短篇小故事合集，一是常识，二是爱与信任，三是自我认知（太扯了）。重型矿卡帅呆
我永远喜欢看一片白纸的灵魂探索世界的故事～制造机器人有些俗套（隔壁的超能查派！），不过这样旧点子新包装的公路片倒也不错。
汤姆汉克斯依旧发挥的很出色，但狗狗演技超棒。
再加上2021年全球极端天气频发，后疫情时代的人心惶惶，影片隐含的环保主题和治愈的剧情，成为一碗人畜无害又发人深省的鸡汤。
汉克斯演技自不必说，狗狗是个惊喜，把对机器人的嫌弃演得活灵活现。
