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.

时长感人，一直在思考宿敌指的是谁，反转得万万没想到，可能是因为一直没有给提醒，但是各种社会问题都体现出来并给予串联，虽然没有特别完美，但是足够了，就像热评说的一样，就是“敢拍”，真的希望这些火种能根植于该国人民心中，希望全世界都更好！
不要觉得印度穷乱种姓制度不公！但印度电影工业让咱们望尘莫及
没想到反转之后还有反转，立意很好，反应了印度的种姓制度，女性地位，学术滥用，当然，最重要的还有政治。敢拍，敢发声，敢质疑制度就是很好的进步，很好很好。
民意裹挟之下，何为真相？腐败的校园，阴暗的政治，法治的缺位。多重反转的结尾，何时社会才能真正民主
很难想象一部包含了大量政治批判、甚至是种姓批判的电影在印度是如何过审的，后一小时四十分渐入佳境，法庭上的辩驳情节十分出色，但想叙述的元素太多了，其实前一个小时可以不要，或穿插在法庭辩驳中，后十分钟通过不断的切镜头短暂地交代了律师的经历，给人一头雾水的感觉
剧情是很不错的，后半部分的翻转，挺让人意外的。但印度式的全程bgm和慢动作，硬要表现出正义凛然的画面 实在太腻了。后面一直再快进，近3个小时的电影完全可以缩短到一个半小时。政治的黑暗，所有人都是棋子罢了，正义，几乎不存在
印度的zz斗争片总觉得不太现实。也没看下去
几个疑问 学生会主席煽动的动机
"我们都是傀儡 在这个世界上"
敢说能说说了还能播就已经够让人羡慕摩拜的了，5星里一半是羞耻一半是摩拜
前半一个多小时看得我又想笑又恶心，拥挤的音乐和疯狂的煽情填满了每一处空间，根本没有节奏可言，一段又一段的内容接连放送，没有剧情只有信息。后面我承认反转是令人震撼的，角色拉黑又洗白也是厉害，但片子真的信息塞爆，因此没有任何一个段落得到充分有效的发挥，角色也令人难以共情，甚至难以令人信服。多给一星纯粹是为了律师演员和男政治老师、死去女老师的颜，少量足够力量的台词，以及不少撕破摊开的印度黑幕。只可惜片子的主题在我看来，依旧只是几乎所有人都在为自己的私心服务。
媒体确认真相，警察执法，社会还会向着更好的方向发展吗？
敢拍 就是好电影吗
剧情挺好 就是律师刚出来那段 故意唱反调 而且几处逻辑让看的人想唱反调 这一点有点倒胃口 总的来说反转之处还行
大学教师被奸杀，大众愤怒；警察说这是犯人，但是有人要保他们，大众又愤怒；法庭上又说你们被欺骗了，然后大众又愤怒。。议员总结的很到位，政治家最厉害的武器就是大众的情绪。

三个小时的电影十足漫长，随时来的歌舞声也不非常下头，也没什么高超手法，部分情节有点过于小学生，虽然…但是…友邻评论的人们共情的共的都是电影之外的东西特别贴切。
48:33 警察在街道上追捕犯罪嫌疑人的这个场景，应该是想表达，他们很低调的，不以警察的身份来追捕嫌犯的过程，因为前面有交代过4名犯罪嫌疑人为政府的党派做过一些脏活。但是在这一时刻警车离开时，并没有亮警灯，而音效师画蛇添足地加了一段警笛的音效，就和前面低调行事而相矛盾。
剧情挺好 就是律师刚出来那段 故意唱反调 而且几处逻辑让看的人想唱反调 这一点有点倒胃口 总的来说反转之处还行
虽然学生运动过于急切，法庭辩护离题千里，但是，太讽刺了
