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.

哈琳妹妹太可爱了！四字也不错，如果去年婚礼闹和结局，只留下照片就更好了。
2021威尼斯最佳导演奖。片名可能是《犬山记》更好一点。确实厉害，看的时候居然联想起《聂隐娘》（风，光线……），藏了太多”情节“而留了太多”细节“甚至”风景“，以至于后劲巨大，看完有点懵，但越想觉得越厉害。坎皮恩完全不在意精心构筑的”谋杀“，而是着眼于”男性气质“的定型想象对三个主要男性角色和女性角色的压迫；”虐待“和”精神控制“写得太有压迫感了；卷福塑造的这个人物逻辑看似拧巴，实则太准确了，自我厌恶导致的自我保护，以及自负和自虐并存的自我驱策。这种电影拍法确实高级且需要观众琢磨。音乐太亮了，甚至具备了”评论性“，这奥斯卡得给五个提名吧……
一个穷少年励志完成不可能的任务，打动大老板，当上大老板的故事。三幕式结构，有困难的男主、帮助男主的人、危害男主的人，三角人物关系。给妹妹治病算是个核心动力。煽情很到位，就是结尾ppt的感觉不太舒服。很稳，很简单的故事，没什么惊奇之处。
这世上哪有什么奇迹，如果非要说有奇迹，不过是努力挣扎再碰上偶然的运气罢了！
应该是近几年最直击心灵的一个电影了，想说这些年恐怕也只有《我不是药神》能给人这种观感，发现是同一个导演。小女孩演的真好；电影里易烊千玺抱着的小bb女孩穿着袜子，和后面眼睛大大的小女孩表情无辜无辜的，都给人非常真实的感觉，尤其有小孩的更懂；那个拳击老哥，外形挺日本电车之狼的，这个反差说明导演会用人；连集装箱都被压扁的那一刻，恐怕连观众都彻底绝望了，先抑后扬的手法运用的非常不错，最后验收见老总估计所有观众都是跟着捏一把汗的恨不得叫老总直接签约。片子穿插了搞笑，温馨，接地气，煽情等各种元素而又不违和，每个配角都出彩，这片子本该是个大片，按照那些所谓票房冠军的对比。从春节出资源就压在硬盘里没动过观看的念头，今天无聊打开看了几分钟就停不下来。
6/10。有佳句无佳章，互换抽烟的暧昧与角力像《卧虎藏龙》里的竹林打戏。男主的死象征着蛮荒时代的终结，最后他穿着代表现代文明的西装进了棺材。血性西部背景下的东方隐忍，是好角度但并不新鲜，这可能是文化差异造成的。“答非所问已经是答了”，它依旧给了太多，像一道数学题而不像诗。（小男主前途无量啊，他与卷福的比拼才是场犬之力）
又扫一次辛酸
文牧野拍的好比较成熟的电影，玩的好套路与深情。看得到小人物的不要命的拼搏，也穿插了诸多的不走运和一些冷漠，全片感情起伏很大，所有人都有美好的结局(没钱了吗？直接放ppt)。
（表白追风少年）
好景常在。妹妹生病，没钱交房租，没钱交厂租，手指骨折......在合格率出来的那一刻，一切终于见到光明了。
所有演员的演技都在线，标准的苦情励志片，共情的目的也达到了，和药神的差距只在一个题材上，不够伟大，不能激起更多的思考，当然也属于优秀了，希望文牧野不要陷入公式化电影
致敬平凡而不甘于平凡的人
整部电影看下来十分流畅，主题鲜明，节奏准确，表演到位。减一颗星，是因为少了一丝灵气。
前面都很好，结尾略潦草了，奇迹大约是指的这个大转折的happy ending 。毕竟现实生活里奇迹太少见了。满分给演员吧，尤其是景厂长和妹妹。
不太喜欢结尾成功那段，小资本家依附大资本家的感觉，我是真不喜欢强行对别人感恩戴德。景浩妈妈看着俩孩子，说的那句，我也不想走啊，真给我弄哭了
春节档私心最喜欢的一部。其实缺点很多，煽情过多、冲突太硬、配乐太满。但抛开《我不是药神》太好而带来的过高期望，单就本片来说，质量已经很好。细节控真的很爱文牧野镜头下的蚂蚁、雨衣、元件。他也很擅长写人物，塑造群像炉火纯青。易烊千玺每部作品都值得一夸，捕捉情绪是他的强项，唯独不太好的是台词。
但这是文牧野的第二部长篇，它印证了《我不是药神》的成功并非偶然，镜头语言的成熟没有禁锢在落俗的情节中。
煽情又励志的好故事，但从头煽到尾再来一针鸡血不怕把观众腻到反胃吗？
难道是因为贺岁的缘故吗，非得加进一些浮夸和喜剧的成分，导致剧情的开始和走向有些不搭，都2013年了，剧情不应该按照这个发展来。
主旋律正能量电影，讲述深圳青年创业的故事。
