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.

这部同一类型里不算惊艳，挺中规中矩的，当然演员都是好演员。
这样的题材拍的不沉闷很流畅很难得，观影可看性很高。不清楚韩国历史就不对此评价，只是影子（昌大）对大多数选民的看法是直白的、精准的——口号不是良药，企图让所有人都满意往往大家都不满意，所以极端分化身份，创造对立，尽量圈主比对面多的人就可以胜利了。
韩国讲故事的能力依然还有，一个当代贾诩的心路
看的不仔细，以为男主是李善均，但最后赞颂的是薛景求。大概就是在争论目的和手段哪个重要吧
你知道了吗
柏拉图：“为了正义，任何手段都可以考虑”。
韩国每年都会有几部关于政治的电影，这部也还不错。
影片有一个华丽的舞台背景，肮脏、下作和坚持、正义在舞台上角力。对于读过福山《政治秩序的起源》的大空先生来说，舞台上的人们都在为这本书注解。
这部电影来源于真实事件，但它是一部虚构作品。
他怎么能这么说？
fashion正熙。青瓦台是黑社会老巢吗？
比如，以往我们看到，一个被毁得家破人亡的凡人要么诉诸法律复仇，要么以正义的方式快意恩仇，那么，他可不可以以更加卑鄙，更加邪恶的方式施以报复，以彼之道数倍还施彼身，面对邪恶，用更邪恶的方式，以怨怨怨怨报怨，是不是故事将更加精彩，也更加发人深省。
很喜欢开头偷鸡蛋的故事，很喜欢结局呼应了，很喜欢李善均的表演。内容很满，来来回回扯对方小辫子，跟辅佐官一样。欣赏不来。可能韩国就是这样？
在政言政，在腐败和激进的体制面前，理想主义注定无路可走。在野党的领袖金云范追求民主公正，没有正式的编制的智囊徐昌大一心谋求职位，用尽阴谋阳谋，在党内选举中反败为胜，在和执政党掰手腕的拉锯战中，政治策略的采用上出现不可调和的局面，加上一颗存在自导自演嫌疑炸弹案罗生门，让原本的应是“热恋期”的俩人分道扬镳，执政党收编了明珠暗投的徐昌大后赢得了大选，徐昌大也获得名正言顺的议员席位，实现草根人生从无到有的华丽逆袭，只不过曾经许下的豪言壮语化为泡影，立志打造民主时代的韩国梦成了镜花水月，春风得意又难掩空虚。多年后的俩人阔别重逢，脸上写满了风霜往事，如果我们没有固持己见，如果我们没有论迹不论心，我们是否早就携手缔造民主时代。可惜没如果，鸡丢了不重要，重要的是兜兜转转之后。能不能找回昂首挺胸的鸡。
很好，把尔虞我诈演绎的很极致，把做实事儿完全抛在一旁，某种程度上也算是真实了，偏激，有创意，而且演员找的真好啊看样子就像演自己一样不会出戏，真棒
3.5吧，话题选择很有意思，故事结构也很稳，但是紧张感不够，基本能猜到下一步走向。薛景求的角色太追求正义了，很难相信这是韩国的政治家。
曾经野心勃勃以为可以玩弄大局，实际上不过是颗棋子，随时可能会成为政治牺牲品，然后被无情丢弃，影子怎么走到阳光下呢？
高尚是高尚者的墓志铭。
阴谋与阳谋的博弈 扶龙之臣总会成为帝王的污点 我看到的是飞鸟尽 良弓藏
拍得景还不错，虽然在同质类里面也有，内容就还好。
