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.

《鸭先知》和《诗》的单元拍的最好，一个叙事节奏明快，一个感情细腻。《少年行》有明显的开心麻花风格，轻松幽默。《乘风》初看，对战斗的惨烈和乘风的牺牲真的意难平，但了解历史原型后不禁感叹，战争的残酷不是和平年代的我们能够想象的，致敬永垂不朽的人民英雄们！
过河产子，章子怡的不敢评论，鸭先知背后一言九鼎的妈妈，楼下健身的妈妈们。现在已经不能用半边天来形容了，可以说是遍地开花，枝繁叶茂。看起来是男性为主的电影，演着演着就变成配角了。
这种拼盘电影的好处可能就是让人能在一部电影的长度里体会不同的剧情吧。「乘风」没什么可说的，文戏和武戏都比较一般；「诗」最打动我——黄轩饰演的角色在火光中笑着记录数据的那一幕虽然只有短短几秒，但是足够让人动容，航天人独有的浪漫主义，是以自身为纸笔在宇宙写诗；「鸭先知」最自然，故事也最贴合「我和我的父辈」的主题，整体看下来很流畅；「少年行」有点散，个人不是很喜欢，最惊喜的可能是李雪健老师的出演。三星给「诗」和「鸭先知」。
“乘风破浪会有时”
新世界的开始”
#乘风
第三部分徐峥鸭先知，看得懂在讲中国第一部广告片诞生记，姑且不较真事件的真实性，当看到100'爸爸，这是送您的父亲，我还是开心地乐了。
《鸭先知》确实可以，70末全民统一的低饱和灰蓝色加中远景调度有点Tati的意思，可惜结尾收得比较垮，一升格就开始露怯。剩下仨就完全没必要比了……
《诗》和《鸭先知》还行，但是也只是在这里面对比起来还行。因为吴京那个根本看不下去。
徐峥的《鸭先知》，剧情本身就非常有韦斯·安德森电影的味道。虽然美学模仿痕迹严重，倒也不违和。
我愿活成你的愿。
CCTV6 庆幸自己没去电影院。章子怡part绝美，其他的都在干什么？我和我的系列如果做不到第一部的质量还是别拍了越拍越烂。
1.为什么不能叫我和我的长辈？2.期待看徐峥按鸭先知的风格执导一部长片。6
这小孩子看着怎么那么脸熟呢，原来是《雪中悍刀行》的赵宣素。韩昊霖，未来估计比张一山有更大发展空间。
如果加上乘风，四分！
乘风，吴京一如既往的用力过猛；诗，章子怡让人眼前一亮，通篇眼含热泪，致敬我们的父辈，他们不为人知的奋斗过、燃烧过、热爱过；一个父与子精忠报国视死如归，一个两代人默默奋斗甘作中国航天奠基石，关于中国第一支广告片的鸭先知显然接不住这么厚重的前戏，徐峥稍显平庸且和前两个故事形成明显的撕裂感；本来沈腾马丽有望一锤定音，可是少年行却意外翻车，这次的压轴戏比我和我的家乡中相差甚远，包袱抖不响立意空洞乏味，全程尴尬不断直接拉低了整片水准。
《诗》 3.7/5
剧情套路都太经典了，不过看看还是没问题的。
《鸭先知》很搞笑啊，上海复古风，画面色调很饱满鲜艳。
什么他妈的情感细腻，这他妈叫仗着片儿短！
