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.

印度电影为了追求爽，真的啥也不管了
印度爱国主义影片，满屏都是印度味儿。虽然有点幼稚，有点狭隘，有点自吹自擂，但作为电影，还是可以看啦。
这强大的身体复原能力，这指哪打哪的超级功夫，还有唱歌跳舞的文艺才能，加上家国情怀，这就是印度武侠吧！神虎侠侣，地母八部……
印度战狼抗英神剧，暴打英国鬼子，看的可开心了哈哈哈，比看007装逼有意思。
既然做这个主题，那就做彻底，能把浑身是梗的凯奇拍到这个程度，这导演充其量就是个路人粉，假粉。但action梗确实太好笑了，熟悉片场会笑的更大声。我的话开场会先套一遍《蛇眼》的长镜头，在里面填元素玩儿。希望尼古拉斯fucking凯奇早日重回巅峰，当然你从来也没过气🙂
6.9/10 前半段真的不错，有着一些印度神片的老毛病，但不可谓不精良，看的开心就完事了。但最后还是太长了，再加上疯狂开挂到超出我的理解范围，略有疲倦
抗英神剧啊，俩个男主相当于一个复联，印度版手撕鬼子，yy神作
这……是一部喜剧片……看印度人自嗨真的很想笑
飞檐走壁 力大无穷的 干就完了 挺有意思
家中投影和SK张老师一起通宵看完....当场体验评分绝对要给五星，睡一觉冷静一下，觉得一些演出的确过于逆天了哈哈。史诗感配乐这方面还是得看印度大片，比好莱坞那套程式化的东西抓人多了！虽然动作场景比较拉胯，但摆pose这块也属于印度大片的特长，猛兽飞车和双男主合体战斗的镜头堪称绝妙。双线互扣的叙事也非常成功。辅以我最爱的经典印度歌舞元素和浓浓的本土元素，好看！肉体高达化神手撕英国鬼子，大英帝国在荧幕上再次没落，谁不爱看？
双男主超喜欢！阿兰是真的帅啊，西装革履像现代绅士，赤膊披挂像本土神灵。更喜欢前半部分，尤其喜欢两个人友谊的蒙太奇，还有跳舞那里，真真的是力与美的展现。后半部分两个人端掉整个总督府实在是有点离谱过头了。还有必须夸夸一些摄影和构图，非常赏心悦目，虽然有点刻意，但是不影响看的开心（摄影太懂了，给了阿兰多少眼睛的大特写！美死了！）。ps大部分人不喜欢印度片里的歌舞，但是我真的很喜欢。
战神附体的大英雄，二星的剧情，五星的场面～大远镜头摇近时惊叹真的是人海战术！颜值扛得住超清大屏幕，服饰敢放大细节去追肌理质感，真金白银彩宝石的绚烂……看下来，觉得自己完全是来被画面和歌曲赏心悦目的，故事没记住。
在印度，正义为了战胜邪恶，可以多么的不讲科学
极度夸张，但场面很好看。
这开挂的方式也太好笑了吧，以为救出玛莉故事就该结束了。不，爽剧就是要实现所有人的愿望！玛莉要救，阿兰也要自由，所有想反抗的人得人手一只枪，阿兰也得见到他的西塔！尬舞跟歌唱真是又好笑又无奈🤷🏻♂️
千军万马中取敌军首级
野兽乱宫，丛林战，合体战，哪怕是双男主在水底建立友谊前的大跨步，每定格，这肌肉美和荷尔蒙的气息啊！！巴霍巴利王的导演出手果然不同凡响，也就他，三小时的双男主大爽片拍到连一个尿点都没！！！加上印度殖民地时期的故事背景——“让每个人手中都有枪，这样他们就能回到自己的国家。”整部电影的立意也上了一个台阶。
影片节奏、色彩表现都很出众，故事线索清晰明了，剧情饱满，虽是很多人瞧不起的“爽片”但并不影响其优秀
歌很好听。最近感觉南印度电影歌舞很好看好听。
RRR是《水与火的故事吗》翻译过来，水火不相容，反抗与压迫；印度电影无歌不嗨，唱着歌、吹着风，自成套路；狱中“人都有资格努力，但不应该期待结果”；瞎几把拍着嗨，和中国版的战狼比更扯
