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.

对啊，月球这么体贴的天体，当然是我们人类祖先留给我们的啊。如果你接受月球是个结构体而非自然体的设定（事实上有很多这方面的假说和理论），就很难不认为它是人工的产物。
想过无聊，没想过这么无聊！今年第三部“不要抬头”，大场面给的也没多少，娱乐性都拿不出来了吗
这创意，哎哟真可以，挺敢想。到后面揭秘部分真是飞一般的思维脑洞（空间站城市瞬间还想到了《极乐空间》）。虽然前后类型转换很不搭，剧情也挺没劲的但看在特效画面，总体也算没白浪费时间。
今年我的第一部院线满分片，比《新蝙蝠侠》还好看那种。看到最后，第一次在电影院里热泪盈眶，不知道为什么……
8 宝刀未老，满足需求。里面毫无作用的资本女真的可以不看的。
一个抢过38家银行的专家，居然没有其他备选计划，就这么硬刚，枪战飙车也没什么新意
流浪月球。非常割裂的故事主题，明明是要捍卫大局，却非要来个自私的视角，展现一下所谓的人文关怀。和那个被夸上天的国产片，缺陷都一样。没有了种族滤镜，评分终于自由了
预算有限，灾难场面也不多，不算A级大片，看imax的观感还可以，这片子不知华谊要亏多少。
故事是表现“又当有立”的巅峰之作：劫匪Will枪击了警察，但非要把他抢救回来；Cam作为人质枪击了绑架她的Will，也非要把他抢救回来；等等
也还行吧，动作戏自然是卖拷贝的强项，但是剧情还是较弱。
以为是个自然灾难片，然后发现是外星人，更没意思了
剧情设定的就离谱！登月线：先智商下线，火速遣散工作人员，然后等到最后男女主抓不到人一起登月了，就开始道德绑架小胖，让小胖跟着一起登月，再到最后小胖在月球上被成功洗脑后，甘愿牺牲自己，让男女主安全返回地球，是不是很离谱？地球线：正派的主角光环比男女主还猛，为了体现不死光环，强行两次遇到同一批劫匪，然后飙车落石和大裂缝都不用躲，无脑开就直接顺利开过，而反派，就都没那么好运了。😂
我超
确实离谱 月球都是人类造的 我已无力吐槽 但是又有哪个男人能拒绝深田咏美呢
人类由神创造，但人类遇到了连神也无可奈何的恶魔。靠着人类自己的善良天性，在神的帮助下战胜了恶魔。
本质上与文牧野的《奇迹•笨小孩》是一类电影，“胶囊内”的感动和自我认同，它没有提供向外的接口。
加上最后一段的灾难特效算它勉强及格吧，在导演本人的作品里应当排在倒数的，很多逻辑漏洞和一言难尽的地方，大概经费都燃烧在了最后30分钟，没办法再照顾剧情和其他？还有一个一看就是被金主华谊塞进去的于文文，剧情不需要但是估计经费需要。
纯（蠢）搞笑片，看得我倍儿高兴，哈哈大笑的，因为我一个人包场，从一开始憋笑到后面笑到拍大腿，看完只想跟卖拷贝唱首歌：听我说谢谢你。
被特效和过时乱扯的核心概念狂轰乱炸后，整个人都要毁灭了……已经不是能不能细想的问题，全程黑人问号.jpg
