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.

还是徐峥的片段看的津津有味~~章子怡也还不错呢，感觉故事没什么波澜，却能跟进去
北京登峰，重庆青怡，北京真乐道，北京烤拉，这些人一个个都活成了资本
告诉你山川大河/日升月落/光荣和梦想/挫折与悲伤/
四个单元，没一个感动的…骑马引飞机并且躲飞机机枪子弹？日本飞行员太平洋海战跟美国都打得难解难分，会傻到为两匹马钻小山坳？！八路军都占据高地把敌人给围起来打了，你们来个骑马砍刀冲战壕？！大清亡了？！火箭发动机那个无感，鸭先知跟沈腾马丽两段还凑合看，整体真的挺……七拼八凑的感觉
全球电影业都不好过，希望能保住电影艺术的成就，好东西不能失去。
《乘风》质感独一档，《诗》其实是题材借力最大，只可惜章子怡拍得串进了一点《无问西东》的味，有点虚了，《鸭先知》因为迷影上的技巧风评似乎普遍是最佳单元，然而换个角度看待，这个广告的起源故事，简直可以叫《拟象的深渊》。到了《少年行》，我小时候管你叫爹，你未来管我叫爹，彻底在父辈的追寻中迷失了。其实【我和我的父辈】这个主题讲得最好的还是《邪不压正》——我不是你爸爸了，你该找个自己的儿子了………
徐峥加一分，有人味，前两部想拍高尚，可惜根子不对
就当学生作业看。徐峥的命题作文书写能力一流，很懂得运用自己的聪明，只要不去粗暴的投机，成绩会一直很好。章子怡在演员生涯中汲取了不少养分，继续做导演的话也是有上升潜力。吴京感觉定型了，四平八稳、没有突破。沈腾像是串班来玩儿的，观众缘好，没砸就行。
还是徐峥的片段看的津津有味~~章子怡也还不错呢，感觉故事没什么波澜，却能跟进去
相比前两部缩减了故事数量，想通过时长的增加来丰满每一个故事的剧作，可惜反倒让4个导演暴露出了自身剧作把控力上的薄弱；最好的是章子怡的《诗》，虽然也存在着叙事和调度的短板，但相对来说情感表达以及表演是4个故事中最好的，总体来说观感逊色于前两部 ★★☆
拜托吴京不会拍别拍好吗，机关枪扫射还能让马跑回来，主旋律就可以无视基本逻辑啦？别的小伙伴一早就人马都被扫射扑街，就吴磊的马跑回去了。最后的跑马群戏拍的好像二十年前的手撕鬼子片。章子怡的单元拍得比较细腻，虽然都是主旋律但不会让人反感。
其他的就不说了，平庸。
20220127le。徐峥拍的那个还是蛮不错的。2.5
都还挺不错的。国庆三部曲，多一星给情怀吧。
看着6点几的评分，差点就错过了。我觉得还挺好的啊，虽然流水线痕迹很严重，特别是吴京和沈腾的。但国内影视剧这环境，真的别挑了啊。比那些脑残爱情剧好多了去啊，也不见得分有多低。
和我和我的祖国，我和我的家乡一样。相同的套路，相同的讲述方式
章子怡的故事很美很感人 这样的煽情以后请给我多来点～ 这故事让我相信曾经有那么一辈人是真的在燃烧自己、照亮别人 那样的父辈真心值得敬仰 而现在已经没有多少这样的人了。其中的女性视角和纯粹的孩童视角也让人欣喜 尤其柴房孩子讨论爸爸去哪了的那场戏 惊艳！ 最喜欢徐峥的片子 他绝对有系统、认真的研究和效仿韦斯安德森的美学风格 从运镜到色彩美学到节奏到表演风格 而且local的很成功 这个洋味也很适合上海的气质 是艺术探索上走得最远的一个；最后沈腾的片子也把父子情的戏剧冲突做的不错 难能可贵的是把科幻与喜剧风格做了融合 值得期待这类新风格。抛开红砖的味道 光说电影 这个系列真的体现了中国电影工业的最高水准了 从剧本到表演到制作都那么用心用力 也说明中国并不是做不出好电影 真用心都是可以的 唉…
《诗》作为章子怡的女性视角，讲述研制人造卫星的故事。
…你沈腾叔叔是不是以为自己是天朝终结者or钢铁侠啊？？最后那故事难看得让我想一拳打穿屏幕 接受度最好的还是吴京徐峥 章子怡也一般 但是丑轩这人选的真特别好
诗:致敬建国后为了祖国的航天事业默默奉献/牺牲的英雄。
