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.

这是要拍续集还是留白啊，尬在中间了……重杀一遍人犯没有必要，前面交代得挺清楚了。女老师真好看，虽然逻辑不能太深究了，埋的线挖的坑也忒多了，填没填导演自己还搞得清吗？简单点，故事说得简单点，去掉不必要的，会更好！所以那么好的题材，最后突出一个复仇吗？最后真是败笔。总体还是很值得一看的！
这种揭露政府阴谋，政治黑暗的电影还是得看韩国，无论是从影片节奏，还是讲故事的方式方法来讲都可以说完爆阿三；但阿三能拍出这样的题材的电影已算是一些国家可望而不可即的事了。当四名“罪犯”被处死，举国上下普天同庆的时候让我深感悲哀，在这鲜花，欢呼和烟花的背后，却是一名被残忍杀害香消玉损的人命，大家却都在欢呼？？？？？
画面氛围还不错，7分
比我是传奇更好connect 属于人类对于末世中AI立场的遐想偏乐观的那一面
由性犯罪到学阀制下的学术垄断，抽丝剥茧却原来都是政治的筹码，法庭陈述还请诸位对照观看，看的我是无味杂陈、肝气郁结。是什么时候左邻与右舍开始甩开我们，叩问反思、揭露针砭，谁是宿敌？正义，还是tm的正义；人民，还是tm的人民！
不管这部片子中的反转有多少是可实现的，逻辑是不是缜密，但是不妨碍这是一部非常有力量的影片，整个积极向上，每个人物都有昂扬的精神内核。从头到尾都被深深吸引，看完觉得热血沸腾。
-＂Because trust will get you killed.＂
这是一部替微弱声音，也是替国家未来呐喊的作品。

温情家庭片，适合幼儿及爱狗人士。动机是怯弱造成的原罪，从拯救宠物狗上赎罪，成全自己
反转再反转的电影，人性真是个猜不透的东西
-＂How do you know you can't trust those people?＂
还是印度敢拍，咱们应该也有类似的事件，但绝不会搬到大荧幕上去的。民众、舆论是很容易煽动的，所以咱们的言论管控很严，想让我们知道的我们会知道，不想让我们知道的我们也不会发现。
反转就反转了，因为节奏一般故事讲得一般丝毫没有感到惊喜。想讲的东西太多了，一个多小时都看得很疑惑不知道到底想说啥，说印度是个大X坑吗？
首席政务部长的台词，律师的抗辩台词，句句值得截屏。印度电影和韩国电影相比，政治深度，已经并驾齐驱，并有赶超趋势。#20220720
最后找了一个反派大BOSS当替罪羊代体质受过，把所有的恶都推诿到人性上。大BOSS的属性和那四个犯人是一样的。电影用片子里BOSS忽悠民众的手法，把观众也忽悠了一遍。
我们对它呈现出的“尖锐”的赞美仅仅来自于我们遭受的审核制度。
沒有鋪墊就開始煽情唱歌，庭審整個歪掉反掉了，應該圍繞程序正義和事實還原來打，結果是充斥無意義的詭辯，控方在論證死者該死被告無罪（黑人問號），辯方在證明死者不該死被告有罪（？？？）。
很简单的故事，却蕴含着丰沛的情感。比起自己的生存，Finch更在乎狗狗Goodyear的生存，甚至做出个机器人Jeff照顾它，甚至一路向西去一个更好的地方，“它不是我的狗，它是它自己的狗”，在Finch眼里Goodyear不仅是一只狗，也承载了他对于那对母子遇害的愧疚
