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.

lgbtq题材的学生作业模版 但是确实很久没有看过这样风格的印度电影了… 连印度都能拍的题材 国内却谈都不让谈 简中网民又有啥资格成天取笑印度呢
其余部分拖沓无味充满了小成本但完全不质朴而只剩做作的运镜和戏多的配乐。至于男主怎么从一个弱鸡游客变成深受重伤还能徒手暴打 N 个 armed agents 的美国队长，这不重要。可取的是希腊的破败混乱氛围和 rally 事发时的慌乱压抑倒是 capture 得非常接地气。
女主闺蜜撩一男子，对方欲强暴之，她不从被杀抛尸，如果性别互换，剧情难合情理。男女先天力量差异演变成社会中的身份定位，结构性决定两个女子的“地位”，这也是这一类恐怖片的根基所在。
其实整体节奏还行的，只是这特么见谁杀谁的剧情也太狗血了，明明是一个人的错误，其他三个哥们脑残了吗，因为是朋友就要一起毁尸灭迹？然后一个个奋不顾身free solo摔骨折，绳降下悬崖闯吊帐被刺大腿，最后一刻才信队友的话想起打电话结果被火烧死推下悬崖？哪怕这些人一开始就知道Josh是个什么货色依然不离不弃，这都哪找的这么容易被pua又听话的队友？而且女主角也是一根筋，必须从大岩壁爬到黑，中间就不能换个简单线路然后像这几个哥们一样徒步跑路？背这么大一个迪卡侬结果快挂绳子岩塞全都在外面挂着，包里除了瓶水就一把机械塞，连个吃的都没有？人家放下绳子让挂相机，她小心翼翼的拉过来，结果就是为了拿纸条写个f word问候一下？大姐你这是对自己有多自信啊，就这还提前一天收拾行李来着……最后还有个5毛钱特效……
衰成这样浑身是伤的 还能那么拼命救人 了不起
性少数群体和女性在印度面临的困境，本来是可以好好挖掘的题材，偏偏要东施效颦去学Call me by your name，然后就搞得很做作很小家子气。不过喀拉拉邦风景真是太美了，疫情之后想去旅行。
珠玉在前 没有对比就没有伤害 虽然在池塘和浴缸里还是蛮美的 而且另一条线也确实可以引发一些思考 再加了一星 有的时候就是会因为主观上的偏好而有不平衡的色彩｜XX不要扑向直女的大火了谢谢
场景设置还不错但是利用不够充分，BOSS又反社会又降智
比较有创意 就是有点墨迹 可能是要凑满90分钟
如果不带任何预期和抱着多细究一点的想法打开的话，它至少是个可以全程跟住、也能带来几分参与感的追缉故事；外加几分恍若古着配色的夏日风光和教授的音乐，好像也没有什么不好。但这之外，多数近身打斗的戏还是难掩皇子的尴尬演技，以及故事上的支离破碎和诸多地方的一笔带过也难以提供更独特的看点；终究是浪费了。【卢卡瓜的电影总关于陌生外国来客的闯入，ex也在第一次独力执导的作品做了这样的设定，算不算一点玻璃渣渣糖呢 =（：=。】
总之 如果电影贴近现实 那这个渣男就成就了导演家里的俩个人 也不亏
本来3.5。看到最后帽男被他两三下哦不是一下束缚，摇了摇头骂了一句。
看故事简介还蛮有意思的，但片子本身呈现质感一般，不如预期。
印度可以拍，韩国可以拍，就_____不能拍
画面，色彩，配乐都很舒服，故事的起承转合有点尬。不管是对于爱，性别认同，还是自由等等，追求自我意识觉醒的大主题还是不错的。最后想唠叨一句，谈恋爱还请现实点，文学老师他不香吗，哈哈
奔着攀岩惊悚类型来的，结果攀岩没看头，就坏人使坏其他人无力抵抗来着……
索性干掉女二，
主角太被動了，只會跑大使館各種跑，長得還醜。
三星半，还没下面我就知道剧情怎么继续。那么荒郊野外，是不是以为没有坏人了，一个人和别人喝酒，被调戏一点也不意外。四人帮里面那个嫩鸡，被刀子顶住脑袋，下一秒放过你时就该反杀。有这种伙伴，迟早害死你自己。那个被威胁的小帅哥也是自己找死，跟着往上爬，就该活活被踹，还拉别人脚，正常人都要踢死你，那种被抓到就倒霉的情况下谁不拼命反抗。大家要警惕，出去喝酒，一定和能无时无刻照顾到你的人去玩，要不然后果自负
想给2.5星。想一想有些过激。网飞，你放弃吧。
