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.

是吖，我也一把年纪了
其实荷兰弟这三部，反倒还真是《英雄远征》最有意思，简直是拉康的图解嘛（当然这一部也可以从“记忆和遗忘”角度入手开始阐释……）。
那一盲杖拄得我心里一颤，然后影院里爆出了山呼海啸。我心满意足。虽然上帝之手是我今年最佳，但不得不承认，这样的粉丝体验才真的毕生难忘。
梅姨的眼角，
荷兰蛛的好感直接被这个降智编剧给败光光了，这什么想起一出是一出的任性圣母冒失熊孩子？好烦人，好想揍。在托比蛛和加菲蛛面前，荷兰蛛整个被衬得演技超烂。也许他最大的优势就是很会真实地翻跟斗吧……情怀诚然可贵，但这种智障剧本就别想从我手里骗分数了吧，如果编剧就只能写出这种水平的东西，那漫威电影算是完蛋了。多年过去我还是最喜欢加菲蛛，加菲蛛最可爱。
要想打败奇异博士，不能靠用魔法打败魔法的原则，要靠夹逼定理!
睡衣宝宝终于也成长为了真正的好邻居 No Way Home的高光在于打破蜘蛛侠伤痛设定的宿命论 几个经典反派角色得到了丰满与救赎 三代的同框疗愈互助会看得人老泪纵横 小蜘蛛的世界里写满了前辈的希望与继承 希望戏外的荷兰弟也能珍惜羽毛 继续成长
真是很青少年的蜘蛛侠，欲言又止的那一瞬间，才是他的成人礼
事不過三此言不假，怎可能收貨，為了配合漫威要走的多元宇宙觀，強行將上集留下的伏筆通通掃走，Holland版本難得建立起來校園青春風貌，二人三足的好基友與初戀情人一同成長與迷惘，怎麼來一場要師徒帶上金剛圈的唐僧戲碼。前二十分鐘好像就告訴你，我們拍了的，不過整個故事強行僭建，可憐的夜魔俠都準備好歸來。在蜘蛛俠世界中，壞人們都不只是敵人，更像不負責任的長輩們，每個性格缺點造就出成魔之路，是Peter 成長的反面教材，不過最不負責任那位叫奇異博士，不正是你搞出來的好事嗎？學長們都回來誰不拍手叫好，情懷不是沒有，而且最後Peter 的選擇和負擔換來的孤獨也說成長的必經之痛，但要說彌補與修復，不是將事情角色換位重演就可了事， 復3可以成功是因為堅守有些事實在無法修補的遺憾，副題不要叫No Way Home，不如叫Drive my car 吧
NO ZUO NO DIE 以及能力越大责任越大这句话都被搞肤浅了
二代目蜘蛛侠老是那么楚楚可怜。好多人口诛笔伐反派们的弃暗投明太过仓促，有限的片长内，各自的超能力丧失反而显得合情合理。片尾曲用了 De La Soul 的 Magic Number，显然比用 Me Myself And I 更合适。20年内，三代蜘蛛侠相伴，简直不敢想象。
【D】脱离了影院银幕和粉丝欢呼的加持后，《英雄无归》还剩什么？其最大的作用居然还是再度替斯科塞斯证明了他的“主题乐园”观点：无论何种英雄反派，何种能力对决，何种情怀共鸣，都彻底沦为毫无惊喜的商业符号。MCU正式成为一种贬义形容词，无特质、无表达、更无美感。最初为了引入蜘蛛侠而抹除其超英起源的恶果终于在第三部得到报应，轮到梅姨说出关键台词，却毫无感触，而是不得不完成的KPI指标。正如现如今的漫威一样，以噱头为核心的“三虫同框”在票房上是绝对成功的，然后呢？继续引入更多角色，讲述更加烂俗而无意义的故事。哪还有什么体面可言？分明是将过往电影的荣光异化成小鬼骨灰，吸食续命，却难掩其干瘪实质。
浪费时间。看完想把蜘蛛侠暴打一顿，不知感恩，以自我为中心，简直了，编剧怎么了？？？？
感觉有点不懂要拍什么，但又想赚钱（，不对，是想引出“多元宇宙”），所以就干脆把前两任蜘蛛侠和反派拉出来遛一圈，然后说这就是多元宇宙。。。
把昔日反派都拉出来遛一遍而不再创造新反派的决定从剧作上来看其实很难自圆其说，随之出现多重宇宙的不同时间线问题也并未尝试解决，于是整个就显得鸡肋；相比之下另外两只的戏更糟糕，除了“能力越大责任越大”助力完成主蜘蛛角色弧度外，几乎完全淹没在玩梗、插科打诨和情怀绑架中。动作特效戏只有奇异博士那段能看，其余黑灯瞎火还一通乱剪太辣眼睛。荷兰弟拿手哭戏终于派上了用场，最后重逢那段和赞达亚的对手戏也不露怯，不过全片最碾压的只能是威廉达福。
三星半。成为超级英雄是一个诅咒，你会失去挚爱，你会无所依靠，而荷兰弟版蜘蛛侠也成为了我们看到的那个孤独的英雄。梅姨那句能力越大责任越大对于这版蜘蛛侠来说真的是太精彩了，学会牺牲这样的成长真的太棒了。不是一部好电影，但是一部完美的蜘蛛侠电影。三代同框如果在电影院里看一定拉满尖叫。7/10
Let me be clear，如果你的干爹是荣誉校友（and potentially 最大捐款人），MIT录取委员会是没有那个狗胆敢拒绝你的。
整个片子就像抄《蜘蛛侠：平行宇宙》的作业又没抄明白，处理起三个小虫交集的戏份如同高配真人秀恶搞短片一样，为了玩梗而玩梗，当然完全没有电影感可言，就拿MCU虫的故事线来说，都到第三部了，仍然在重复幼稚捅娄子，觉悟要靠偶像的路线，过去五年基本没有真正的成长，本身逻辑漏洞很多又强行顺理成章，动不动就得带上铁人遗产，斯塔克这点儿家底儿真是够漫威吃一辈子的。
至纯粉丝向，想看什么来什么，怎么弱智怎么来。前半段毫不讲理的欢乐氛围下，加菲和托比出场仿佛SNL短剧，不得不说达福叔是真的好啊，类似梁朝伟之于《尚气》的存在了，MCSU最有范反派
芝加哥首映场，一票难求到情况下抢到一张，还是决定亲自去看看。剧本其实不是很满意，有很多地方明明可以做得更好，但情怀确实拉满了。托比一笑，加菲一哭，完全崩不住直接泪洒电影院，相比之下荷兰弟真的过的太安逸了，完全没有孤军奋战的感觉，我爱索尼的老蜘蛛侠们，他们哪怕被拉到了mcu 也还是充满着人文情怀，他们的一言一行都让我能够体会到“超级英雄”这个21世纪新词的意义，将他们送回去是真正意义上的爷青结。
