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.

另外要不是哥哥伤了，字母哥基本就被淹没了，人生的确充满了不确定性。
两位Adam，在打斗的时候已经能被这些人无数次打死了，别忘了，现在不是在演死侍，而Louis Reed，与马克·鲁弗洛在雷神3里的喜剧表演差不多，这部Netflix网大真没必要浪费这么多特效制作来撑大场面。
这电影挺有意思的，尤其是节奏。12 12 123 12 23 234 34……这种感觉，就像是运球在拉扯一样。由于真事改编，选的历程也真是蛮有意思。但是没能沉下去，稍微可惜点子。
所以，非法移民是否值得提倡？他们提供的社会劳动力，是否跟他们享受的社会福利相匹配？
其实讲的是面对父亲的离世，在不同年龄如何面对和治愈自己。
险恶的电影，好像篮球一点都不重要。就跟扬尼斯的球品一样。
"I want to be a NBA player"
正如洛杉矶的凌晨四点会记住科比一般，
由于一些特殊原因，雄鹿球迷在国内的球迷氛围中一直不受待见，作为一名雄鹿球迷其实是一件很悲哀的事，甚至很长一段时间不敢在朋友面前承认自己喜欢字母哥。但不可否认，字母的故事足够励志，他也足够令人敬佩，希望这部纪录片能够让更多人认识真实的他!
最感动的不应该是Jennifer Garner和Mark Rufflo 13 going on 30 这么多年了 还是夫妇吗!! 老泪纵横
一人得道鸡犬升天 这是大部分贫困的黑人家庭期盼的 挺好的孩子 这两年怎么就变这样了 也可能是球队风气带坏了 因为这个人所以电影只值一星
从电影的角度没什么特别的 更多的是人物的成长经历更加打动人心 全家人的骄傲和希望推动者字母哥一路前进
本来想给两星的，但因为字母败人品的表现又减了一颗，不知道导演通篇想表现什么，如果是想表现移民的生活不易那完全不需要用字母来体现，移民中最后成就比他高的大有人在，他顶大就是个打篮球的，而且还给孩子们起不了正面的作用——小朋友们无法拥有他万中无一的天赋，就只能去学他垫脚下黑手的垃圾本色了；如果想体现字母本身成长的不易，那更是没必要了，因为NBA里成长环境比他艰苦甚至是悲惨的球员比比皆是，他只是被市容和移民警察追，NBA里多少人是在黑帮的子弹呼啸声中练球长大的。只是拿了一个含金量不足的冠军，就开始暴露自己恶劣自私的本性，这难道和他的家庭教育环境没有关系么？现在就开始唱赞歌，搞回忆录，是不是早了点？最终他只可能是一个笑话，还很短。
1.尼日利亚籍，父母为了给孩子更好的未来偷渡到希腊，一直是属于非法移民，
字母哥的成长故事，当天赋+努力可以抹平并超越起跑线上的的差距，字母成为了王者。简单的为热爱而战与为生存而战没有可比性。
致命的又想拽理论又不想解释理论的烂科幻……父子和解与自我和解交叉的感情点倒是有点意思
爱会产生愤怒，失去后才知道珍惜，评论得真好。
结尾处一声声给字母哥的MVP呼声中我真的被感动到了 自从那年垫脚欧文后 字母哥乃至整个雄鹿队的口碑都断崖式下滑——我不想给他找借口 这动作本来就是不对 不过我们也不能因此就否定了这个人传奇的一生。他的球探报告中最让人惊心动魄的字句“此人长期营养不良导致身体消瘦” 到现在让所有内线球员闻风丧胆的希腊怪兽 字母哥的自律有口皆碑得在NBA排得上号。他的成功 要谢谢有一对无论情况多坏都还很恩爱并且无私为孩子梦想奉献的父母 那个一直在场上给予他力量和支持的哥哥 最最重要的是 那个处在困境中顽强往上爬告诉自己功夫不负有心人的自己 看啊MVP没水货 字母哥做到了！所以在最后 一定要好好记住他的名字 就算很长也不要拼错！Antetokounmpo！
更像是纪录片形式的片子、剧情有张力有感染力的、很感动！！
预算好低，连编剧加台词都没找专业的人做的感觉，观影体验最多3星，加一星给cast，毕竟还看到了死侍碎嘴子
