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.

英国腔英国范儿可以让稳如磐石的剧本变得更有趣，英国历史剧的平淡如水都是靠演员功底提携的。理性为基准，用感性渲染，氛围是优雅精修，无声中等待炸雷，但明显炸的不够响。
意外的好看，萌萌店太好玩了。PS：应该叫萌妹刺客吧。
去掉无聊的多角恋后，把核心剧情当做一群编剧在打磨剧本的话还算说得过去，真正有趣的是弗莱明从此走向间谍小说大宗师的各种彩蛋。
很工整 用一种比较轻松的方式讲了一个多年后才被解封的秘密。也很英式了 我脸叔虽然壮了但是双排扣制服依然被迷倒 loveline没必要 还让人三观跟着五官跑（叹气
英国人告诉我们战争不完全是基于绝对实力的硬刚和碾压，战争是硬实力+软实力+巧实力的综合表现。做这种诈欺英国人是有一种特质——匠气，“萝卜雕花”固然精致有艺术，但万一德国人没有获得情报怎么办？万一尸体飘到荒岛怎么办？情报链过于漫长，意外发生的概率就会放大。这些动作终究难言是战略级的，所以英国人也为自己找好了定位，给老美当跟班，扯远了。
这部电影是完美的 🥺 完美的可爱完美的温馨完美的打架完美的日常 555555 两位主角间的对话每一段都好真实，就是在正常少女之间会发生的对话呀 🤤 千寻和保镖大哥的对打也太过瘾了！导演仿佛在说“我知道可能会有人觉得打得太长了，但是我也知道你就是很想看他们一直打对吧？给你看！”每一步节奏都踏在我的心坎上 😌 可爱死啦！她们还一起看电影！最后工作人员名单播完，千里差点把游戏机的线扯掉，回头来接住的时候真寻已经把它接住了 🤤 （相处的细节好戳！！！！）
一部改编自真实事件，又是涉及重大战役的谍战故事，英国一众大牌出演，竟然拍出了三流肥皂剧的感觉。原以为是个不出名的年轻导演所为，查看后才知导演是得过奥斯卡奖的约翰·马登，真令人惊讶。这样的故事，即使平铺直叙，也会很好看。导演还往面里加戏，还是狗血的三角恋爱戏，直接将电影品味拉到了尘埃之下。想想英国曾拍出如此多的间谍影片，现在真是有些江河日下了。
尸体服役，人假情真，信中睫毛，隐藏势力……角度挺好的，为人设填充细节填出了些诗意，但整个三角恋和办公室政治就稍微有点过了
看完电影，剧情相对比较好理解，大概讲的就是盟军在二战时期，为了让德国法西斯相信自己假的作战意图而产生的一起情报事件，名字叫做绞肉行动，整体看下来节奏比较缓慢，剧情比较简单，重在真实发生的，每一名角色都有真实的历史背景。同时，演员大部分都是英国人英音非常纯正，听起来别有一番风味，尤其是柯林叔的演技没得挑，穿上双排扣的大风衣非常的迷人，但是吐槽一点电影中加入的柯林叔婚外情的剧情有点无聊，不知道为何加入这一句剧情，对整部剧没有任何推动作用
这是什么奇奇怪怪的神经质中二片啊！！原以为只是小成本动作爽片，但偏偏大段的是搞笑日和，动作元素只出现在开头结尾。在胡闹中反套路、反高潮，极道父子探店女仆咖啡实为本片高潮。
感覺是英國演員全明星陣容了，故事裏頭駐西班牙大使隨機應變的技能真是太好笑XD // 感情戲的節奏略奇怪，以至於本來應該劍拔弩張的諜戰部分卻緊張不起來，但可能人性本來就是這樣，生活中該有的兒女情長猜忌嫉妒即使世界大戰時也是會繼續的
终于找到了 怎么这部电影名字比我幼儿园同学还多...
PS：我看任务之所以成功，好像也不是英国人整这么多细节，而是德国内斗助推假消息？这是可以说的吗？
我其实还挺喜欢的，仅仅是为了两位我爱的男主演也值了，你来我往看的很过瘾。MM瘦了变年轻了，本以为给他安排了爱情线，结果是脸叔的炮灰情敌哈哈哈，虽然是老套的爱而不得，但谁能抵御得了Colin Firth啊
情节安排有些失调，西班牙部分甚至柏林部分再加一点可能更引人入胜。

“马丁少校”拯救了作为西西里岛登陆的第一批士兵的他的照片替身，这个安排很史诗。“马丁少校”的姐姐来认领尸体，最后墓碑加的那句话，个人与国家的利益都应该被尊重
看个乐，日式中二剧情，主角两个妹子是杀手，短发妹试图打工融入社会但是比较困难，长发妹在女仆店打工，boss是黑道，这里面所有角色多少带点大病hhh其实就两个妹子的友情来说感觉还挺日常的？杀人桥段还算比较利落
整个计划部署还是很有意思的，卡司也非常强大，但是故事讲着太温吞，这段三角恋也有点奇奇怪怪，Colin叔和Kelly的柏拉图恋情诠释得细腻可铺垫不够……两位Mr.Darcy同框戏份很好看，任何计划都会有意外，那位三重特工可真是付出了太多（色相）~
6.5分。很小就知道这个行动，当时就觉得这样设计个虚拟人的人生好有意思，但现在看看，其实后面怎么让这个文件顺利送达希特勒才是关键啊，可惜电影里对这段也是语焉不详，搞得我空欢喜一场。一方面这些高光点被忽视，另一方面乱七八糟的感情戏却占了很大的部分，八点档电视剧的内容挤在这么个正剧里面真的好吗？？？
