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.

昨天看完了干股拜的故事，豆瓣的评分相当中肯，确实不能算是一部好电影，但比国内大多数的电影和立意还要好些，国内的电影现在真的丝毫也拿不出了，花了更多的钱拍了更烂的电影，文化正在退化，这很可悲。
三星半 女主有胆识有魄力 但是卖淫合法化真的不行
女人一定要努力搞事业搞钱才能做真正的自己（不要恋爱脑）
做奴才虽然不幸，但也不可怕，若从奴隶生活中寻出美来，赞叹、陶醉，就是万劫不复的奴才了。
虽然电影有很多瑕疵，但是看见女主特写镜头的眼神就会哭！那种悲伤从眼神透露出来！她本来就是天鹅，即使身处泥泞中！
很好的题材，但是导演夹带私货，使得主角的主张看起来前后矛盾。真实世界的女主更另人敬佩。
影片总体上来说完成度不错，比较令人诟病的就是因为真实可能过于隐晦或者难以示人，导致的有部分剧情的推动逻辑上难以自洽，像是女主和黑帮老大的义兄的几次结缘，就很说不清楚……
很好的题材，但是导演夹带私货，使得主角的主张看起来前后矛盾。真实世界的女主更另人敬佩。
徐老鬼手上拽着这么多资源，拍出了最高票房的佳作，恭喜。
从一开始拒绝“妓女”的标签，到接收它，并为女性及“妓女”群体平权，我觉得导演或者编剧想通过这部作品表达的思想方向是对的，我们看得到她的善良，仁慈，但是这一路走过来的成就并没有凸显甘古拜的个人价值。整体来说，她也是依附于“大哥”的社会地位来创造了自己的新天地吧。或许，可以更“独立”一点
他们代表军人的荣耀，用血肉祭奠自己的尊严。
类型: 剧情 / 历史 / 战争
印度关于姓氏、性别的问题比很多国家都严重，所以他们关于这方面的探讨也深刻很多。
你要带我去深夜秀？一巴掌，打过去！TA没有错，错的永远是施暴者！
白沙丽是月亮的白，云朵的白…
“不要用笼子困住自由的飞鸟。我们心中有火焰，应如玫瑰般绽放。”
就电影的冲突感来说这个故事有点太顺风顺水了。但是女主长得太美，爱怎么拍怎么拍吧！
有些人看到一个女性上位只看得到帮助他的男人，而对她自己的力量视而不见
❌香港导演对志愿军保家卫国的情怀确实理解不能 “义气是三小 我只知道兄弟” 活脱脱一幕长津湖之艋舺
节奏奇烂的所谓的大女主逆袭的“女权”爽片，每个转折都是顺拐，通篇浮于表面的口号，不时插入无语的歌舞，拼贴大杂烩，看不到一点真正的主角自身的能动性，删掉一小时勉强能及格。两星全给女主的表演，驾驭角色游刃有余。
