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.

什么时候凯文哈特和瑞安雷诺兹能搭一次戏
凯文哈特这种逼逼叨叨的模式真的是隔一段时间看一次挺有意思的
可能主角是“多伦多”是唯一能打出两星的理由，真的蠢到家了…
泰迪抱着一堆东西。刀掉地上那段我笑了一下。
不温不火，浪费我的期待！杰森郭说得对：R级可能更美妙！
一个涵盖全世界的杀手组织，为了两百万就倾巢而出，老大娘都亲自下场耍大刀也是让人叹为观止。
Woody Harrison不管演谁都一个样。。。
剧情和台词真得太太太老套，先性后爱，是好莱坞十年前的题材了吧，但可能存在语境差异，有时候难以共情，这部某些部分还可以，虽然结尾同样落入俗套，但所幸处理得还算接地气。全钟瑞真得很有魅力，豁达爽快又透露出一些脆弱的人设真得适合她。
王牌保镖拍上瘾了? 感觉设定还有点日本冒牌杀手电影的感觉, 火花很足. Kevin Hart跟谁都能蹭出火花。。。后来发现伍迪·哈里森代替了杰森·斯坦森，想想确实郭达的感觉更好
脑回路清奇又碎嘴子的黑人小市民搭配面冷心热爱做饭的硬汉白人杀手，这个组合真是屡试不爽啊，很可乐的一部爆米花片，很久没遇到让我笑出声的喜剧片了，全程无尿点，非常适合聚会观看，居然还有Penny本色出演，以及山下智久惊喜出场，虽然只有两个镜头就被撞飞了哈哈
看得有点子心动，不过还是《我的解放日志》里面“具社长”的角色更适合孙锡久。
【C+】两位主演搭配的不错，动作戏整体比较精彩，健身房一段的长镜头很有意思，如果不看重剧情逻辑的话，也算是适合用来消遣图一乐的电影。
在这个下午。刚看完房间，这么悲伤的故事，再看这个，满屋皆笑，开心的一下午过去了
b级片 3🌟半 打五星的原因是对这种类型的片子一点抵抗力都没有 西部牛仔风格 凯文自编诗搞笑死了 在健身房的几个长镜头 太爽了 还有跑车肌肉车 还有中世纪连弩 啧啧啧 错位搞笑 嗯 我知道剧情很扯 但是 作为一个男生真的这种片子误解 p.s. 女2⃣️很飒 镜头太少啦 配乐依旧很不错
我笑吐了哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈嚯哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈嚯哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈
俩人身材都太好了，好配。。py转恋人的简单剧本夹着动机不纯的矛盾。目的暴露的以后利用社交平台互相社死了，最后是爱到刻骨铭心无法放弃所以自然地释怀吗？ 结局是美好的理想化的，虽然能嗑到，但但凡代入一点现实因素，都会为无穷无尽的潜在争执而担忧，所以这就是电影的美好所在吧。 (好奇抹布味儿的平壤冷面 竟是c9的现实取向hhhhhhh

你要是 Toronto 来的 to 应该发 no 才对。
挺欢乐，蠢萌感十足，不过黑小伙误会成杀手这桥段有些似曾相识。伍迪-哈里森有股子冷幽默风，不苟言笑能获得喜剧效果。黑人小伙还是那么夸张，各种状态都出格，大惊小怪，不过似乎好莱坞都是这套。多少也是米国的开心麻花，看个嗨劲就行了。
中规中矩的爆米花动作电影。节奏处理的确实还不错。来自多伦多、迈阿密、莫斯科、东京…的男人，像极了分舵的舵主们…
