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.

法庭上甄子丹的证词看得我火冒三丈，问他有没有看到死者拘捕失足摔死，他说他到的时候已经太晚了。问他有没有看到谢霆锋他们殴打死者，又说看到了。你MD看到谢霆锋他们打人，就说明人还没死啊。整件事情就是他惹出来的！
高战在哪儿？为什么不出来跟马军单挑？港片辉煌时期的打手们倾巢而出，动作戏给4星，文戏负分，正反两派的三观都不正常。
警队围捕毒枭，却遇上蒙面悍匪黑吃黑，警队+毒枭团伙全死；
首先是部剧情片，其次是枪战片，然后才是动作片，甄子丹要在片子开始快一小时后才真正动了下手。至于剧情，我认为这与其说是部陈木胜电影，还不如说是甄子丹作品，他这些年的时装动作片，以剧情来说《特殊身份》当然最差，最好一点的其实是《导火线》，当然我不知道最大的功劳要算在谁的身上。谢霆锋全程在下意识的模仿邹兆龙，按正常的演员世代更替，他和甄子丹的角色应该互换。一个真正有智慧的反派，不会这么片段式的报仇，而秦岚角色的惊鸿一瞥，与其说对是内地演员的轻视，还不如说是此类港片本身就不会处理女性角色。
三星半。开头难看的感情戏成了港片硬汉的标配，不过打戏真是好看，带着怒气越是好看，一气呵成，干净利落。
是一出癲狂的戲，從故事到人再到各種場面。警隊condom的戲碼已經不稀奇，全片出現了不同的差佬陰暗面那才有意思。教堂戲的設計好好啊，小謝墜落那段太好看了。這些非絕對“好人”的差佬形象和敢於轟炸都市的癲狂不懂會不會隨著Benny的離開和檢查的嚴苛逐漸消失。可惜女性形象依然是愛護家庭的人質！懷念《三岔口》裡對劇情有關鍵作用的美女們！小謝啊，你怎麼演個帥哥壞蛋都要假扮廚子，忘掉你的菜！！！
也就只有谢柠檬还能保持那股劲，虽明显有仿效joker的嫌疑。其他TVB的那帮老将们一个个泄了气，一口气上五楼都特别费劲。★★★/6.7
霆锋真的令人惊艳，不愧是我粉了快20年的人…最点睛之笔，是他的最后一句台词：如果当年换作是你去抓人，我们的结局会不会一样？听到这句话我泪目了…已发生的事情，无法从头来过，如果真的有平行世界，那也不是你的人生了啊…感谢陈木胜导演，这是一部好作品。
这部电影果然就像一部陈木胜电影生涯的总回顾一样，从当年《冲锋队怒火街头》的刚猛，但暗黑风格的《三岔口》，到跟刚和甄子丹里对手《龙虎门》的谢霆锋，合作拍的《男儿本色》。。。
针子弹，酷挺疯。动作戏失望，模仿其它电影的痕迹明显，也太多了……
故事讲得太潦草了，动作戏还不错，看得我眼花缭乱。
好久没有这么爽的港片了，虽然还是那套路，但是动作戏精彩，谢霆锋连演反派也这么帅，绝了。可惜没有陈导的下一部作品了，致敬陈木胜导演。
主线就出现了四个女角色，一个香港警匪片男主同款娇妻（被劫持了），一个警员（组里出任务第一个负伤），一个小三（被绑架了），一个捞女（被抛尸了）。哦，还有个没露面的，她不嫁杀人犯，然后被杀人犯杀掉了——女演员现状
2021年还在重复这种套路，失败！某些角色的三观严重畸形，看的生厌。剧情逻辑也太假，只能看看动作戏了。
导演都用尽各种可能展现大反派的冷血凶残灭绝人性死有余辜了，电影的宣传竟然还是突出「最帅反派」「最有魅力反派」「被反派迷倒」等等文案……当然，如果不那么多实锤反派的恶，这个电影可以有更深刻入骨的文本来探讨许多深度的人性与制度等等让人不寒而栗的内涵，但这只是商业片，善恶最终要分明，所以，对坏人好人内战甚至还不如成龙新警察故事来得震撼。事实上，说句不尊重演员和导演的话，打戏虽然有真实感的痛，但完全没耐心欣赏。
好久没看到这么硬核的港产片了！刀刀见血，拳拳到肉，枪枪都准！好久没看到这么帅的反派了！啊好羡慕王菲啊啊啊啊！好了，冷静一下，剧情稍显单薄俗套，如果能有更多反派在监狱里的故事，可能人物转变就更合理一些。但是还是很好看很爽啊！！！
我、我哥四伟、小王和登秋四人观看，电影还算精彩，前半段有点乏味，谢霆锋开始对甄子丹老婆下手后一下子吸引我了，谢霆锋的反派蛮好，把他害得蹲监狱的人一个个了结看到过瘾，至于二场动作戏其实相比甄子丹以往电影太过一般了，没有被爽到，如之前杀破狼甄子丹VS吴京，还有导火线甄子丹VS邹兆龙那种动作对决已经难以复制和超越了，至于陈导的而言没有早期的扫毒好看。
剧情紧凑，一气呵成，动作枪战绝了，很过瘾，反派智商忽高忽低，而且战斗力贼强，堪比漫威
国语配音比较拉跨 甄子丹打戏值得！ 谢霆锋的口音有点泰兰德😂他演变态已经有个人特色了，但是在大街上扔手榴弹那个镜头，还是“可恶，又被他装到了”。
中规中矩，不过不失。演员魅力大于剧情及动作。
