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.

1.无聊的故事
在黑暗中的冰面上悄无声息地滑行，有种冷冰冰的浪漫。那一刻，像极了我们的人生，孤身一人，如履薄冰，蜷缩在脆弱的冰面上四顾无人，徒然等待，等待大厦将倾，等待万劫不复。
定位不太准确，对幼儿来说太成熟说教了，对大点的孩子来说又老套了些。2D比3D好。少些网络用语吧，有些出戏。
氛围感很好，角度很新。可惜有些情节上的问题和烂尾。女主突然转变也很生硬。
1476【谷阿莫】戰爭爆發，人民被丟進冰湖裡凍成冰、軍方不得已拿出了生化武器…2022《黑蟹行動：無盡寒冬》#春日荐片季##电影二创榜#
前半段还行，同伴死的比较真实，节奏也可以，不哔哔。但后半段是换了编剧吗？不合逻辑之处包罗万象，男上司想毁病毒，烧堆小火保证煮得那病毒香喷喷，还要逃大老远去毁。后面他俩还拖时间在外面引爆？拜托，一个手榴弹炸了，啥病毒清得干干净净，啥都不留。你们究竟是想释放病毒还是毁灭病毒？
豆瓣还是豆瓣，评论家个个硬装董哥不是评论剧情硬伤，就是说编剧/导演脑子被踢+2分差评。让他们讲过一二三四五又讲不出来。我认为这个电影的主题作为很新颖的滑冰执行任务可以值得赞叹（ps各种问为什么不开飞机的人也把脑子捐了吧），其次电影里有其实冰面上的画面真的很震撼，营造的末世冰原也很有带入感，女主也不是常见的圣母，这个角色的塑造真的很真实，大部分人都会有挂念而不是说为了世界其他人怎么怎么样。最后，配乐包括每个角色的塑造我觉得做的也很到位，描绘出的是各个形形色色的人对末世，死亡的看法。总之，个人觉得首先豆瓣某些评论家真的差不多的了，装的我看着ex。这个电影它肯定不是完美，故事有些部分我觉得还需要更多的时间描述，但至少他真的以个人角度让我感觉到了战争带来的冲击感。
电影前中期一直很棒，但从士兵们知道运送的是生化武器后开始崩坏
第一次发现“神奇拖后腿”是个好词，回想就觉得好笑。很值得亲子观看！
豆瓣里文艺婊越来越多了，这样的战争影片至少应该打个3.5星（7.0分左右）吧。有场面、有剧情、节奏也比较紧凑，没什么大漏洞，还是可以看看的
把惊悚和动作的标签拿掉，改成滑冰或许会更合适些。
滑冰逃亡很有北欧特色~最近好多电影都是about mother，开心~~~theme song超好听
当爽片看，剧情流畅但逻辑不能深究，例如敌人怎么来的一点没讲，目标地开始是敌人大后方后面又变成己方基地，明明有一堆飞机却要用冰面滑行的方式执行任务，网飞拍的都是这种就点子不错最后成流水线的片
即有点莫名其妙 又坚持看完了，大概是因为没咋看过北欧电影吧
生化危机母女悲情版！剧情老生常谈，只不过增加溜冰、末世求生环节亮点。
看我的，黑风十八
看前半小时，很诧异，明明挺优秀的为什么评分这么低？看完后发现故事太“小”了、人物太“平”了，主人公一路过关斩将主要靠天赋和运气，以及对手的愚蠢，看不到真正的成长，就是动画片也要讲规律逻辑。不过我依然愿给高分（刚开始是照着五星去的），就在于有几个桥段让我真心笑出声。这对当前的喜剧来说，都是难得。
对价值观的思考为啥不仅原地踏步，甚至浅薄了
一部平庸的公路片，大概也是反战片，全片画面暗淡缺少高潮点，哪怕是最终的赴死。但剧情对应俄乌战争，感觉很应景，家国家国，先有家才有国，女主没有那么高尚只是保护女儿。希望现实中的战争不要走到这种抉择的境地，呼唤世界和平。
