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.

看得很舒服，虽然是别人的童年，发生在一个我从未踏足的国度以及一个遥远的年代。
震惊 错愕 不忍卒睹 潸然泪下 而最残酷的事情是 这一切甚至都没夸张 就因为对方说俄语 就向平民开炮 实在是没有人性的行径啊 东乌克兰民兵的反击 也实在是被逼无奈 没有宏大视角 没有史诗叙事 就是一个普通城镇里的故事 就足够让人惊掉下巴 憋屈了两个小时 最后十分钟终于稍稍开怀一下 小绿人来的还算及时 俄罗斯电影独特的色调和叙事布局 还是很有水平的 为了揭露乌克兰新纳粹的罪恶 值得五星！
跨越国家和年代都能找到共鸣的童年回忆录，里面讲述的事情小时候大多也体验过，怀旧题材很难不喜欢
基本上和国产电影是一个水准，中俄的相似性令人汗颜
登月着陆的时刻我们在游乐园玩耍，留下足迹的时刻我们早困倦不已。但日后成年的我们再提及这段过往，这份「不在场」的念想其实又帮助我们实现了「在场」，某种形式上。

開頭確實讓人看傻眼 內容還是站在某一方 的角度去控訴 但無論怎樣 最無辜的都是人民
Michal Lisowski的场景画的太好了。
极为私人化的一部作品，Richard Linklater大写的儿童年鉴，以及回阅时的童心未泯。想来，美国流行文化及生活方式的全球化输出，经由长年累月的影视传播，即便是怀旧的六十年代，同样能令非美观众共生相思之情，还真不得不服。 * 自动关联到2020年法国那部《加加林》。
非常有趣，有时候会短暂晃神是真人拍的，画风很贴切那个时代的美国。

从电影的角度来看，这片片拍的很烂。严格的说，这片片是俄罗斯🇷🇺的宣传片——只反应乌东地区乌克兰政府军的暴行，但是没有给出原因……不管怎样，战争都是残酷的，战争都是对生命的犯罪。人类已经来到了今天，来到了全球化、科技异常发展的时代，除非疯子、稍有理智者，稍有对生命有尊重的人，就不可能首先发动战争。
