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.

是让死亡渺小的东西
Ana de Armas出来的时候我整个人都精神起来惹，然而，没一会她的戏份就结束了…
剧情真的好长，不过流畅度还是可以的，有些部分依旧略显老套，但动作戏还是非常精彩和干净利落。反派有点拉垮，动机立不住，也很没有说服力，你说你复仇就复仇呗，搞人类大屠杀干嘛！
终于，他死了，死的像个人
就到这了，This is my stop，有些人你已经见过最后一面了，对，我说的就是穿晚礼服的Ana
徐峥有着一种独有的幽默感，让观众们轻易地就放下了心防，得以放松，太好玩了。
强行用了很多老梗，也能理解，毕竟是丹尼尔克雷格最后一部，梗全用一遍搞得我以为是007的最后一部。中间看睡了要真的，p话太多强行煽情。蕾雅赛杜我总觉得她要跟邦德并肩作战来着，后来才想起来那是碟中谍。。这种片能不能不要一批演员来回用，容易串场。死得草率了点，死就死吧，反正丹尼尔也老了（就是这么无情。
告诉你山川大河
缺位的父辈与失语的母辈。诗＞鸭先知＞少年行＞乘风。
我的孩子
一些很难理解的感情线，格格不入的蕾老师，谁要看007拖家带口……安娜那么性感可爱火辣竟然戏份这么少！Q，好辛苦！！！
章子怡＞徐峥＞吴京＞沈腾(剧本不行 连演技我都觉得退步了的感觉)
邦德融在炮火中，为了拯救爱人和世界，完成了属于英雄的辉煌谢幕！再见了，丹尼尔邦德
Ana惊艳，Rami和Lea演技抢眼。无他。
这不是放弃演员，是准备放弃这个人物了？
宇宙
燃料是点燃自己
喜欢诗和鸭先知。
安娜·德·阿玛斯的惊艳造型和邦德在隧道中对007经典开场的重现还不错，其他部分乏善可陈。（5.0/10）
永动电源神仙都羡慕；积墨这两部都是左右缩35%后再上下缩26%的晃晃大片，不把你晃困对不起人家的职位，这味药可比《叠影重重5》的3D猛多辣
