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.

一镜到底的感觉好像自己打游戏，是亮点。剧情很套路，不过看结尾好像要有第二部。
一镜到底，长镜头迷恋，都是病（变态），有些要治，有些可以带病坚持，形成“我们时代的神经症人格”。
这种近战的氛围不错，但感觉不够真实。一镜到底好像有炫技的嫌疑。
真糟糕，战术战略完全不讲胡乱biu，圣母女表+无头苍蝇反派，看似严密的黑军事监狱轻松被攻破，小钢炮都没一发，重机枪都没一挺，突突突还没哔哔哔的话字儿多...阿金斯你上点心行不，好歹也算是个腕儿了，挑片子把眼睛擦亮点好伐...
小成本的海豹营救片，除了过于夸张的孤胆英雄风格有点老套之外，其它还是可以看的～最好的部分是以战地记者视角拍摄的手法在敌我中穿插，临场感较强。CQB，CQC部分完成得尤其爽快，描写队友牺牲也不再念诗看照片了，废话不多，稍差的部分是用刀的技术动作，浅插多扎的特点没有体现出来～基地有点山寨，美国旗的质感不对，墙裙也是新刷的，两个负责人性格也是太标签化了（其实反派也是），阿什丽果然是吸血鬼需要用木棒插死吗？有点搞笑的酱油了～人质才是顶着最大的光环怎么都死不了～
一镜到底断断续续，手持摄影机晃得老子脑子疼！无聊的搏击巷战枪战，以及看似牛逼的看守人员！差评！
酣畅淋漓，除了一车皮反派永远打不完之外，毫无槽点
帝国主义恐怖分子和地方主义恐怖分子的互相欺诈、互相残杀。
三星半。一镜到底真的非常有实战感，跟《1917》比，感觉这部更加牛一点，不过剧情相对单薄了点。
3.依然磕拉了
看的时候就想到《硬核亨利》了，一镜到底别有一番韵味，虽然剧情看个开头就已经猜到了，但是我就喜欢这个镜头表达方式hhh
枪斗戏好看，不知道吐槽的都是什么货色，如此过瘾的吃鸡片也吐槽。你还想看啥？
牺牲了很多情节的合理性……
除了一些逻辑问题比如水中的城市如何维持电力等，其他方面感觉还可以，故事本身和讲述都很有吸引力。类似《银翼杀手》的复古未来风格，休-杰克曼很绅士，扑克牌和水箱都联想到《致命魔术》。台词写得也很棒啊， If there are ghosts to be found, it's us who haunt the past.
……逻辑漏洞多到严重影响观感的地步，高设定和这种意识形态的讴歌实在是有点格格不入，有着所有过去的影子，却一个影子都追不上。也许，弟媳也应该move on, 不要再沉溺于过去。执导不易，且拍且珍惜吧
2.我这辈子什么时候才能看到坦迪牛顿的🔞镜头
还不错，现实版的CS训练营，虽然最后主角光环杀了太多人有点过分，不过反恐的逻辑和反思还是掩盖了保安体系的儿戏。稍微有点长，后面有些拖沓。
缺点就是整部电影都是突突，刚开始还好，看点就有点厌倦了，如果多点近战就好了！
扔手榴弹都能团灭的距离，
毫无技巧的长镜头，毫无新意的剧情，毫不激烈的枪战，点到为止的近战……
