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.

有很多致敬这个杀手不太冷的镜头，无论是黑道带着小男孩的搭配，还是台词“生活总是这么难吗？”
电影还行，值得7分，不过一个纯开车的小姐姐能干死这么多男人，未免有点太扯淡了，哈哈
一般吧，6.5分。
这是真能元素大杂烩。不点名了，抄的电影蛮多的
开篇飙车的速度感就没有，用小孩来唤醒母性？线索拖沓，无聊。
《玩命快递》的故事梗概+《杀手莱昂》的人物关系。朴素丹这个选角很绝，三十岁少女感，自带精明干练气场，玩起酷来信手拈来。
快进看，都嫌着急。
比大叔差远了，最起码大叔里“孩子”那个角色不会让我觉得讨厌
2022年1月8日；大多数还是理智的，无论是在院线放映时偶尔听到的辅助性讲解声，还是 parenting属性的提问声，亦或者是孩子们共情后发出哭声被安慰，都是相当正常的反应；即便是化为成年人的文字作为评价也是理智的声音居多，夹杂着些许无聊俗套低幼到1岁孩子都嫌弃的不同声音，嘛，毕竟 me大概率是不会独自观影儿童片的，如果机缘巧合看了，也会尽力抛弃掉成年人的傲慢勉强重拾童心客观看待，顶多呆萌自问：我是谁我在哪里为啥独自看了这片儿…；整个故事值得鼓励，有主题有主线，对人类&房子对吐槽印象深刻，有反派有助攻，起承转合结构清晰，有理想主义有不合理，有说教有鸡汤，儿童片可以理解；可以做免费剧版但是值得尝试院线影版，media mix也好IP也罢，能合情合理赚到自负盈亏的钱，才是长久之策的NO.301…
韩国女人都是双眼皮 朝鲜人就单眼皮。女孩这么能打是因为从朝鲜杀出一条血路出来的。职业的人就不能有情绪 结果你还整成宝贝计划了。
其实是个中规中矩的商业爽片，叙事节奏，动作戏份中规中矩，片中的亮点是加入了飙车元素，飙车时的配乐还是很飒的！确实肾上腺素都起来了，还是要鼓励这种类型片，毕竟我国想拍出这种的还是有困难的吧，呵呵！（致敬这个《这个杀手不太冷》好评！！！）
陪着孩子去看的，讲了人类发展对森林的影响，也讲了鸡妈妈对孩子的爱！适合宝宝去看！
奔着女版《大叔》去的，差距有点大。女主看着像未成年，严重出戏...而且拍摄手法装逼味儿十足，本来想喷下，算了，给个人道主义3分吧...
普通的場面,普普通的劇情,普通的打鬥,普通的片子
韩国几个新生代单眼皮女明星个个都漂亮有特色，朴素丹， 金高银，金多美， 可甜可飒，都喜欢。ps：配乐太带感了
还不错！故事老套，飙车和动作还不错，电影三星，女主加一星！
这女人开车真猛，还能打，竟然还能躲子弹，牛逼！
一星給女主，这个素顏比較耐看，比起韩国女星的整容臉好看多了；剧情嘛，只有初头十分鈡的飛車追逐戲可看，由於女主到底不是打女，片中又沒有感情線，只有那些面目可憎的黑警和女主追追逐逐，後半段就是女主帶著小孩東奔西跑，拖拖拉拉到最后和大BＯＳＳ糾纏一頓干掉大ＢＯＳＳ完場，女主則是一副冷淡表情由头到尾，可惜了~～
动作戏没有特别突出，开车戏份还行，音乐动感。
脱北孤儿女主以危险驾驶为生，男孩父亲拿了搞赌博黑警的密匙被追杀至死，女主接单接他们，不忍不管男孩被牵连，最后在女主老板的旧车场决斗，老板黑警死，女主奇迹生还又见男孩结束。
