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.

害行吧，结尾有点潦草，不过正好下一部重启，米高梅赶紧请诺兰来做个三部曲啊！（歌儿real好听，看好冲奥
让他成为传说，也是最高级的处理方法，
事实证明 对于只是看过前四部的剧情梳理而没有看过原片的观众，就是很枯燥的观影体验。电影前面就把所有的精彩拍完了，中期就是冗长无聊的文戏，实在是太容易犯困了。结尾的壮烈牺牲让我身边看了24部的朋友说 啊 就死了？开头的追逐打戏和美丽邦女郎的惊鸿一瞥，以为是开始，谁知道已经是巅峰
克雷格平淡无味的告别仪式，没想到被扮猪吃老虎的古巴女特工抢了风头。这个角色大概是临时救场的菲编贡献的，相当Killing Eve。
如果不是知道这是这版的最后一部，这个结局其实都可以逆转。
剧情和人物关系看得我一头雾水，也懒得去理顺了，英国人说话总是罗里吧嗦。邦德居然死了，这是我没想到的，很悲壮也很感人。
真遗憾不能打零颗星。金刚狼、钢铁侠、007，这是我第三个喜欢的男性superhero以生了个女儿然后死亡告终。大无语事件，不想再多说一个字。毁灭吧，烦了。
硬凹腔调，情节与动作场面在片头曲结束后便一直处于割裂状态，接下来漫长的两小时便只是破碎的过时段落走马观花，平心而论倒也确实是拍出了一种穷途末路、精疲力竭的感觉。
有时候你很想很想安排一场体面的葬礼，然后妻子心不在焉，朋友穿错dress code，牧师酗酒宿醉，小孩爬上屋顶玩出短路，那个路过的女人艳光四射但半程就离席了，留死者在棺材里默默爆炸，差不多就是这么个效果吧。无良比喻，烂片。
Ana de Armas又美又飒，以至于她一收工后面剧情我都在打瞌睡😴
我还是觉得《生死有时》的译名更贴题。
给我的感觉就是，导演、摄影、美术和演员，都非常卖力，唯有编剧从一开始就摆烂。起范儿不错，古巴女出现后达到高潮，然后开始没完没了的枪战和爆炸，全是高潮就是没有高潮啊！
纯属于谢幕作品感情加成，编剧和场面确实没啥好说的。
他为了活着把爱的人送上火车，他总是自信不会死，不管是在封闭沉没的船舱还是九分钟后就要爆炸的堡垒，永远潇洒独活的杀手，因为无法再触碰爱的人而选择迎接死亡。是有些伤感，克雷格版的邦德从初中看到现在，因为太有人情味儿而特别，不断被背叛到受伤，又不断失去。这次没被任何剧透到，但是看到女儿的时候就知道是要死的了。“如果有孩子，他的生命就会被延续、被模仿或被怀疑，被维护或被背叛。一个父亲的死亡会留下一扇敞开的门，这也正是我们从小就听到的──你的生命将在你的孩子身上继续，你的孩子就是不朽的你。”
最近有时耳鸣的我对被轰到耳鸣的丹叔表示同情，还被轰了三次！那个甜美挂的妹子出来了十分钟，然后呢？
不功不过吧，看得出Daniel已经演得很累了，一会儿像汽车广告一会儿像再买手表，就是到了小女孩的戏的时候才上点心。好莱坞对东亚文化的fantasy真是到现在还在有。
片子有点太长了，文戏过多，007的中年危机？
实在难以想象15年时间的感情分也比不过剧本的难看，加一星给Ana
想去电影院坐坐顺便看看牛逼小汽车，于是就去了。这片充分说明了好莱坞大片模式的穷途末路，因为在不到三小时的容量里，既要环球取景，又要炸到位，又要换女主角，主角还不会死，剧情还要通俗，完全不可能建立起来情感联系，换啥编导都没戏…所以007各种深情表演只会让人感觉好笑…不过它是说英国把日俄争议岛屿给炸了吗，这还挺带劲的
这故事有逻辑吗？ 邦德先和CIA打MI6 再和MI6打反派 反派仇都报完了 幽灵党都团灭了 反而突然变身灭霸了？ 邦德不能再接近人了就干脆一心求死了？
