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.

我就纳闷了，这姐姐怎么看也不像杀人犯啊，我靠，果然，人不是她杀的。
没有前提的爱是存在的。
不知何谓的电影 与导演第一部电影相差甚远 搭了一个好莱坞最经典的戏台子 却摆着一副最严肃的脸说事 没有哪一个人物是完整的 甚至桑姐都是拧着一股劲在表演 直到她摔东西骂脏话发疯开始电影也开始了发疯 想想估计这就是导演请指教最喜欢的
情节比较简单，但编剧可以，通过回忆一层层揭示真相，加上女主表演出众，所以完成度还不错，还是比较感人。不过被劫持时女主自始至终没有明说绑错人了，这点没看到有合理解读，阴暗吗？但后来又用自己身体护送出门，反正没说清楚。7.3/10分
守护什么呢。
788 1.5岁小女孩的武德也太充沛了，猎枪很重的。 2.美国人对cop Killer真就这么狠啊，还是说黑人除外。即使没有顶罪这个情节，是不是也过分了点。 3.说好的一个“人人长着张不被欺负的脸”的国度…… 三星半
为了妹妹健康成长，选择扛起罪行，背负一切。
原本想说凄苦程度男有凭火炼狱女有不可饶恕，看到结尾女导演还是善良多了。另外此电影选角导演be like：我们首先确定女主是桑婆，接着从夜魔侠演员库随机挑选几个
1. Sandra Bullock最近和Don’t Look Up里的Cate Blanchette一样，肉毒杆菌打过头了；2. Emily被kidnap，Ruth为什么不直接告诉Steve他绑架错了人？3.为什么要顶替5岁的妹妹去坐牢？5岁啊，什么惩罚都不会有，最多就是去看心理医生吧（有人可能会说，会被从Ruth身边带走，要送去寄养家庭，可是Ruth如果顶替她去坐牢了，那不也是被送去寄养家庭了吗？）4.Emily被绑住了手腕，可以轻松地撕下嘴上的duck tape啊！
剧情看到这，不合逻辑，如果想看出狱后这样影片，看一下2021年日本电影《美丽新世界》，那才是炸裂式演技。
2022/1/5 MSP alone. (First heavy movie of the year, thought it would be “The Lost Daughter” but finished this one) 从头到尾揪心，电影结束前最后一个镜头流下了眼泪。各类人物都有太多可共情的点了，好片啊~
背负一生，警长的儿子好惨，父亲被杀，自己被绿，绑架还要坐牢。
一般吧，剧情挺平庸的，略商业，布洛克的演技挽回了一点
故事的核心我可以get到。可人设稍微没立好的感觉。角色太多又没有起太大作用。（主要最大的悬念也太好猜了
其实这部电影的故事架构并不新颖，但是女导演的细腻，剧本的铺陈，女主的投入，都让这部剧没有落入俗套。但生活并不会因此而美好，但我们依然努力着。
桑德拉布洛克一个人的表演，故事紧凑有反转，结局也非常耐人寻味和意味深长，整部影片都在投射着定罪的不严谨，枪支随意使用，出狱者无法被社会接纳，报复心理很多社会问题，是很好的体现社会性问题的片子。
是阶级不可逾越不可改变只能以命抵命的冷酷。
虽然个人对桑德拉布洛克一直有着面容上的抗拒，但她的片子三星起步还是可以保证的。从片头的剪辑开始，情节上的张力基本上就一直没断。但和前半段铺开的人物关系，冲突点相比，这个结尾显然仓促了。片尾说这个原作是剧集，那可能就是原因了。篇幅的压缩估计做了很多取舍。
粉身碎骨都护之身后称为之爱。
三个家庭的亲情，就是警长家哥哥转变的有点快啊
