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.

恐怖氛围还可以，可这…这是啥玩意啊，隐喻母女关系的变化吗，活活把自己女儿逼成了魔鬼？
闻一闻这上品的味道 你要的全都有
你就是那种人 从来不会羡慕别人 只会怨恨自己 你这种人只有两条路 你要怎么选？ 有人说过，我这种人只能去两个地方，要么跌至谷底，要么登顶为王。他还说，这两个都特别冷清，却毫无意义。有些人死了，有些人离开，火热的东西全部消失，一切犹如幻觉，变得冷清，毫无意义，但我们又要在幻觉中活下去，将耻辱与悲伤深埋大海。 这俩句话我给五星了
够猎奇 本质上就是黑天鹅➕万能钥匙 但分分钟希望小女孩暴毙 戏多的小孩一点也不值得同情
孵化的是被压抑的女儿，书籍异世界得小恶魔，用催吐食物来滋养，真是看得心惊肉跳。在视频记录家庭看似美好生活的展演之下，是完美的苛求和家人的裂痕—母女母子、父子父女没有深刻的情感链接（理解和开解还没有第三者来的多，但是这个人就这样消失了的线让我失望了）。父亲的缺席，或许他一早就知道女儿的不对劲……母亲撞击方向盘的自残其实就是女儿体内的恶魔啊！孵化的何尝不是“伪装者的母亲”呢！本是双生，没有救赎。
还行吧 《黑天鹅》平替？ 不过女主的完美主义没那么疯魔 大部分还是为了满足母亲的期待 大概是个讲成长之痛和亲情关系的主题
有些人死了，有些人离开，火热的东西全部消失，一切犹如幻觉，变得冷清，毫无意义，但我们又要在幻觉中活下去，将耻辱与悲伤深埋大海
路西恩去买了份报纸，报纸上说犀牛人逍遥法外。
没有看到黑帮史诗气质，对于被迫成为老大描写的比较深入。反正不管中间如何风光，如何霸气，入黑帮最后结局都是死路一条！
说是血腥奇幻片比较合适，小女孩演的不错。
没能认真看完
气氛和感觉到位了，但是故事就推进得有点乱。
一点也没看出来热血在哪里，叫这名字的意思大概是“缺啥补啥”？
《热血》以坐落于釜山码头——“九岩”上的“万里长酒店”为舞台，讲述一个黑社会组织的故事。郑宇饰演的是拳击选手出身的“万里长酒店”支配者以及“九岩”的流氓头目宋勇甘的手足锡秀一角。郑宇将在剧中表现出和人们想象中充满帅气和义气的黑社会组织不同，为了生存和生计而充斥着背信弃义，诡计多端，尔虞我诈，卑鄙下流的人类群像。
其实是个很有意思的设定，一个善良的、心软的、认真爱很多人的中年男人混迹黑道求温饱的故事。一开始觉得郑宇演得太过用力了，越看又越觉得正是他的用力，把这个男人所有软弱犹豫踌躇全都表现出来了，不愧是影帝提名嗷！可惜后半段过于啰嗦了导致片子整体质量不佳，三星半吧，半星加给垃圾哥。
有点黑色童话的感觉，整体隐喻类似《黑天鹅》，一个完美主义强迫症妈妈对女儿的压力教育，催生出分裂状态。最后天真可爱的女儿被妈妈亲手杀死，转生出无情恐怖的新女儿。
虚假的外衣，最终无法逃脱人性觉醒时的审判，故事看似不符合逻辑，但却感到异常真实。他的痛苦之处，也许就在于深刻的知道自己生活在自己的骗局中，却无法自拔。
We Finnish people just occasionally hatch things
血腥虐杀的部分都是次料，重点是很不错地构建了那种空心泡沫式的、活在社交媒体上的中产家庭理想图景。
还可以，感觉有点像羊崽儿，但这个力度大一点。
