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.

原來是凱奇年下水仙大片（誤）凱奇和Pedro的化學反應好奇妙哈哈哈哈！爲什麽cue星戰的台詞不安排給銀河系奶爸！最後的戲中戲也好好玩，把看似很沒道理扔刀動作戲變成Drama的一部分就突然合理了。好萊塢的下限在哪裏還有待觀察，但帕丁頓熊世界第一是不容質疑的真理。
但侵略，家，国家，仇恨，猛兽，大场面这些推进就是燃！！！！
过气的尼古拉斯.凯奇，演过气的尼古拉斯.凯奇。就像过气的迈克尔.基顿，在《鸟人》中演过气的飞鸟侠，过气的刘青云演《我要成名》，都有一种推开心魔、直面落魄的残忍。这么多年来凯奇在烂片堆里打滚，但说句良心话，哪怕再低的成本、再小的制作、再烂的本子、再不起眼的角色，凯奇也从未敷衍以对，总是拿出他十足卖力的表演，决不会缺斤短两。片子虽烂，他从没烂过，还是那个一声Action，随时鲤鱼打挺、满血复活的凯奇。从这个意义来说，凯奇从未过气过，非常吊诡地，将过气变为一种“传奇”，以一种过气的方式，维持着他的不过气。顺便说，《变脸》《帕丁顿熊2》，也是我的5星心水。
说回到这部明显是按照反抗殖民统治路数来拍的片子，连他妈的救援场景的对话，都说本土语言然后上配音？这直接扣分了啊，就差刨坟了（虽然阿三可能都没有坟了）。想通过时间线玩弄我的心思？不可能！了不起了给你加一星，实际还是落俗套的片子，既然你选了这个主题切入，拍成这种尿性，我直接默认你收了50w…
手撕英国鬼子！这分镜+特效怎么把动作戏拍的那么帅啊！！不过印度特色歌舞还是很搞笑
我就说怎么一股巴霍巴利王那味儿，原来是一个导演。俩人直接一顿帅气的配合把驻印英军一锅端了！虽然是抗英神剧，但是就是看的人热血沸腾，爽就完事了……
在仅能容一个人的地牢里，兄弟腿都断了还在做引体向上健身，我真的是佩服地乐了。是我喜欢的印度风格。
《RRR》
一直维持前两个小时水平 就勉强能到4星 鉴于我竟然看完了 还是给三星吧
7.5。印度反殖民。特效做的好，景色好，摄影好。剧情牵强，双男主基情不够深刻。里面的女演员都好看。德鲁伊那场戏不错。最后神都出来了...shiva
印度电影的无限装逼绝对是电影行业最具娱乐性的看点
说是宝莱坞 不过如果(想象中)结合🇮🇳风俗和文化来理解 制作水准还过得去的🧐
开挂无脑神片，两个人干一个军队简直比抗日神剧还要离谱，单手举摩托车真的看呆了，太！夸！张！了！
桥下救人佩服三哥的想象力，后面天神下凡也是燃值拉满了，突然觉得三哥很不容易，真真的被殖民了那么多年啊
印度电影的剧作已经迷失在技巧中了，已经不需要真实性了，只要一个巧合就够了。看完这个片儿，感觉吴京在长津湖里还能再活两部。
精彩都在花絮系列。PS. 两个可爱的CIA最后都死了吗？PPS. 真的需要补看帕丁顿熊2吗？
这片居然豆瓣评分7分还多，那手撕鬼子的抗日神剧可以给9分了，换成印度人，时间搞成了3小时，就给这么高评分，真的毫无节操。
#1505【谷阿莫】真正的兄弟，就是在你需要腿的時候當你的腿，需要女主角時，做你的女主角2022《RRR》BV1pY4y1G7Wm 2022/6/17
演员最大的挑战，是演出自己。 噱头是属于他的生涯“救赎”（即使在我看来这早已在去年的《猪》还有更早的《曼迪》成功完成）和将所有质疑、光环与骂声都抛在一边的倾力演出，但同样也是自己对于相信的东西的持续承诺。加入很多让人津津乐道的彩蛋，在整个片长中始终饱满地填充着娱乐能量和讨喜的自我意识；以很多出色喜剧演员组成的配角演员阵容没得到充分利用是遗憾，但依然是足够欢乐、让人想参与其中的旅程。【SXSW今年的「Headliners」是个对演员充满奇迹的单元，之于杨紫琼，之于桑婆，之于凯奇。】
印度主旋律抗英神剧，也算导演的用心良苦，毕竟在被大英帝国统治下，奋起的神级英勇斗争！两个男人代表水火，一个为家族一个为国家，一个能抗老虎，一个能打百人，两人联手后变晓勇战神，不得了呀！女反派艾丽森杜迪年轻时也是大美女一个，在此片中演的真是冷酷残暴！
