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.

50分钟里塞了俩个TV版长度的故事。在这俩个故事里，夏目都变成有能力保护其他人的人了。
这部电影没有传说中的那么优秀，大家给它打高分，都是因为人家敢拍。五星好评背后，是默默咽下的苦涩与不甘。
是一个很好的剧本，只是节奏不太好。透过不正义手段去追求所谓“正义的结果”，并试图以此将过程合理化，是一件危险的事情。
【2022年第58部】无论是从社会题材，还收从揭露人性，这部电影方方面面想要表达的东西都表达到了！
每个妖怪都在提醒着夏目，他人类几十年的寿命在妖怪的一生中多么短暂，它们将来一定会怀念和夏目遇见的这短暂的一瞬间，不知道对立于当下，以人类的尺度还有漫长一生在眼前的夏目而言，是怎么样错乱的心情。
开头本来以为是一个俗套的故事，直到后面的反转，真的太震撼了！
zz的武器是情感，要民众的情感。警长最后也担心孩子会报复才反戈一击的。电影长是长了点，但一定还是要看原本。悬疑的设定很好。
电影给了社会重重的抨击，最后的反转也是很精彩，不过如此长的电影，中间的铺垫细节（虽然每个都很残忍）却有点像蜻蜓点水了。不是在说这些不应该批判，只是做为电影个人感觉可能太泛
【B-】敢拍，会拍，但本质上还是套路化的印度犯罪庭审片。
有点大杂烩了，加了太多东西进去，曾老说印度这个民族永远不会灭亡，是有道理的。
那些拿拍摄手法、剧情bug说事，讽刺别人因为题材打五星的人，自己不也因为题材给战狼，长津湖打了五星吗？每个人都有自己的评分标准，没有谁比谁高级，用不着装高级讽刺别人。
你以为的真相不是真相，你以为的正义可能不是正义，所以永远不要愤怒得太早。如果只有前半段，值3星，后半段一连串的反转和引发的思考让它值得5星。
多重反转，揭露批判了种姓制度、学阀和官僚腐败，精彩。
多重反转，揭露批判了种姓制度、学阀和官僚腐败，精彩。
两个小故事，更喜欢第二个妖怪附身田泽的故事，三筱变成人形好帅呀我莫名心动。其实也没那么好，但夏目还能陪伴我多久呢，就是希望一直能有它吧。
关于舆论操控我建议看有关《We become what we behold》游戏的视频，会有更深的感悟。
立意太高了！政治比什么都黑暗。因为冗长扣一星
印度导演们也太喜欢用慢动作了。。。去掉五首歌，去掉所有慢动作（勉强保留一两处）删减精简前半场冗长的情绪积累（有的是办法积累情绪）90分钟快节奏叙事，将会是一个更nb的电影。“媒体报道真相，还是媒体说的就是真相”这剧台词真心屌。
牛逼，恐怕我们国内的导演只有仰望的份。当一个民族失去了站起来的勇气，我们的脊梁已弯曲到只能卑躬屈膝，无论你在内心里怎样的呐喊，不过都是徒劳。我们不要迟到却终会到来的正义，我们要及时而决绝的正义，只有这样，才能捍卫法律的尊严，国家的尊严，民族的尊严。
一部电影，反映了多个社会问题，编剧太强了
