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.

下一任邦德会是谁？这个问题在此刻已不再重要，丹尼尔.克雷格的表现足以被我们铭记。谢谢你，丹尼尔.克雷格❤️
Craig这一系列最大的问题在于剧情上的联系过于紧密，仿佛只能在一个体系上为了续再搭建一个新的。打破007俗套的开局卖点到现在变成建立了一套新的俗套。因此只有作为开端的Casino Royale和相对独立的Skyfall两部显得非常突出。到了这一部就很像是一部典型的俗套续集故事：表面上更大更强，实际上故事和人物却又都撑不起来。
前面好镜头好光好景致好美人带来的快乐评分在90分钟之后开始下跌，信息给的啰嗦，反派像从DC宇宙里逃出来的邪教首领，两007并肩也没什么看点……但最后的角色告别做得我泪流满面。真男人迎面迎接爆炸！
事实证明 对于只是看过前四部的剧情梳理而没有看过原片的观众，就是很枯燥的观影体验。电影前面就把所有的精彩拍完了，中期就是冗长无聊的文戏，实在是太容易犯困了。结尾的壮烈牺牲让我身边看了24部的朋友说 啊 就死了？开头的追逐打戏和美丽邦女郎的惊鸿一瞥，以为是开始，谁知道已经是巅峰
反派太弱了吧...... 不过他也不是重点
蕾雅·赛杜与安娜·德·阿玛斯
20211101 UME 虽然剧情直接崩了，虽然所向披靡的幽灵党直接团灭，虽然古巴大美女只有一场戏，但还是蛮喜欢的，特别是最后克莱格的肉身焚毁在从天而降的导弹之中，一个时代又结束了。开场的追车戏很像《鲁邦三世卡堡》那场被斯皮尔伯格称作影史最佳的追车戏，而莱特死前和007的对话又像是在恶搞《阿甘正传》……
后知后觉，看的第一部007，决定把这个系列补完
邦女郎从来不让人失望 两位美人
谢幕之作，结构设计非常用心；只是007太有魅力，邦女郎+反派也比不上
不知从第几部就开始玩煽情路线，连007也开始赚人泪水？是受了中国那几部卖座电影的影响吗？没有原来的味道了
拉米馬雷克的每個微表情都在說「這角色寫得太弱智了我真的不知道該怎麼演了」
有点复杂了 片长过长 还是挺感人的。所以，新一任会是女士？就像doctor who?我不想相信。距离上一部已经6年了，难以想象。12年第一次看这个系列skyfall，被片头吸引，然后就入了丹尼尔大叔的坑。也是一种帅。
事实上，整个电影史都是一个S&M的幻想史，好像我们的主角不经历点磨难，就成不了主角一样。
我和007的一个共同点，就是想退休后去捕鱼。
邦德也越来越跟潇洒不沾边了 还不如憨豆 还是最喜欢小时候看的布鲁斯南的邦德
拉米馬雷克的每個微表情都在說「這角色寫得太弱智了我真的不知道該怎麼演了」
有时候你很想很想安排一场体面的葬礼，然后妻子心不在焉，朋友穿错dress code，牧师酗酒宿醉，小孩爬上屋顶玩出短路，那个路过的女人艳光四射但半程就离席了，留死者在棺材里默默爆炸，差不多就是这么个效果吧。无良比喻，烂片。
这个落幕无功无过，还是套路大过内容，有几场戏大银幕看是挺棒，主要反派没有惊喜，还期待瓦尔兹重整旗鼓，爱情部分也浮皮潦草，毕竟还是特工片，期待人物还是想多了
不记得之前看的007系列了，印象中好像也不咋好看。没想到邦德死了，难怪这部特别长。前面摩托很酷，南意大利风景很美。古巴女太美了，竟然不是女主，蕾阿贡献了史上最丑女邦德，不过演技确实细腻抓人。卡司阵容很强，但确实不咋好看。片头的画面和音乐仍旧无敌。
