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.

可以是挺好的片子，可是没拍出来，巧合未免也太多。
女主携带少量装备逃脱，
故事和画面都很美好。音乐也好听。看完很舒服。
前期狗粮喂那么满后面开始卖惨，但说到底这也是个没有说服力的追杀理由，乱成一团
文艺元素的堆砌并不能构成艺术性，三个人情感升温太刻意，没有真实感。想表达的东西（反叛）太多了，什么都没说清楚。就电影质感来说，还勉强及格。
人美画面美配乐美但是不肯用心讲故事，非常典型的网飞出品。似乎叙事不重要，演员露肉做爱才重要，再塞点诗歌、艺术、情感抓马、自由解脱就凑出来一部电影了……可惜了这个故事，明明值得有更好的诠释。
看过不少攀岩片了，这部比较假些，但不妨碍我手心出汗，脚掌发软，情节也算有点新意。是一部值得观看的电影，不知为什么给分不高，我给它加点分。
当晚聚众聊天，
一场女友意外死亡牵扯出一个绑架案，到处躲避警察追杀，前期比后期精彩，整体来说还行片荒可以一看
让坎妹当挽救希腊的英雄，再加上一些打斗场面，至少可达三星。
里面的元素好多啊，看到了很多同影的影子哈哈，画面中出现的很多蓝色代表着不同的含义，暧昧热恋时期的最美好的，印度也有清新脱俗的同性电影了
另外故事其实也还可以拍得再细腻一点，导演为了画面色彩都忘了去润色故事的连贯性，兄妹两人爱上租客让人感觉就是“见色起意”谈不上深刻、谈不上深情。影片大篇幅聚焦在哥哥身上，却不及最后妹妹逃亡时让人感触，属于是捡了芝麻丢了西瓜。人物形象也太过空白，所有人物的情感都浮于表面，尤其是男主，脸部表情太坚硬以至于看不出任何的情感变化，空洞不代表文艺呀兄弟！
但是看完emmmm很怪，营造的夏天的氛围不是很浓，有点凛冽感。没有桃片贯穿的哲学思辨，仅有男主文学性的一些表达，有点表面。整个演员们的演技好端着，一板一眼的僵硬，没有很生活化，看着很出戏。男主老师的演技倒是很不错。
就还行，但是基底还是有问题的，在一个连女性奴性地位都没有抗争出来的国家又是如何来抗争少数性群体呢？所以最后还是在父权制度里的弱势群体与弱势群体之间的情感对抗，何必？
吃女主的颜，柔美又坚定~很喜欢这种极限运动的元素中间穿插的美好过往也令人唏嘘…男的真的坏的令人发指，无下限了都感觉像没人性的变态
故事奇奇怪怪，意外听懂路人说主角malaka什么的
低配版call me by your name,故事有点莫名其妙～就感觉男主才是内sao～
不禁怀疑坎妹是来希腊带薪旅游的，但我没有证据。
最难过的是不管经历了多惊险的过程 他以后的生活都完了 希腊人民现在看来也是
画面色调大量填充了明亮的白色，营造永远是大白天的效果，给观众潜意识里去制造印象恐惧。
