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.

可以一看。冗戏多了些。坎妹出场10分钟旅了次希腊游，男主停车场惊人一跳莫不是看了蝙蝠侠黑暗骑士？后来男主一想自己单兵作战这么厉害不如去当特工，于是这片就叫信条前传：how to be an agent
真相的揭开感觉是强行解释，就像男主弥漫全片的疑惑感，不知道导演想讲什么主题，或者表达什么，这个电影感觉没有可信性，因为所有情节都是靠”巧合”推动。
每当看到这类的国外电影，都佩服女配的作死，女主的牛笔！！反派真的是无脑，哈哈哈
处处都有着模仿cmbyn的痕迹，但整个故事狗血又无聊，不过印度已经可以拍出该类题材的电影了，对比之下，不能不能一声叹息
美感都出现的极其短暂，节奏总觉得有点怪，可能印度片子接触的少？情绪也都冗长且没啥可看性
那是掺着绿的蓝，藏着谜的爱恋，雾气迷了眼，沸水冷寂，死水溢来便无所觉，陷进去——塘中的龟有了名为岸上人的瘾，水草缠着它，无所觉，陷进去。
仿佛是simple Chinese互联网投稿的通讯录爱情故事，唯一的区别就是这个故事被网飞拍成了电影，一段由crush延展出的一段短暂恋情到底有什么值得大书特书？很可惜，这种短暂恰巧就是爱的永恒本身，短暂又漫长，只是不要迷信永远，也不要迷信爱。
配乐和一些情节有点突兀 故作的文艺感 至少不是歌舞升平了
过程中几男都被男主干掉，
看完印度版CMBYN了
影片讲述两个朋友的攀岩冒险变成了一场可怕的噩梦。凯莉用DV镜头捕捉到她最好的朋友被谋杀的过程后，她成为了这群朋友的下一个目标，他们为了不惜一切代价销毁证据决定追杀凯莉。凯莉为了活下去必须开始了一场危险的攀登，她的生存本能受到了考验......
女主好勇 赞 女主未婚夫不能等攀岩到山顶了再求婚吗
故事的背景对于个人和事件来说太大了，以至于故事过于单薄，不过悬疑气氛很到位。
虽然并不新颖，但是包含“求知”和“爱欲”的影相总是有其迷人处的，一些符号意向很好，有点消费主义的美感。love is blue。

当晚聚众聊天，
女主的心态和耐力真的稳，反派太急躁了，本来就很简单的剧情，阴间男友的助力，使女主反败为胜
渣男一个了把人家兄妹的身体和感情都玩了后，就逃跑了下落不明，男主还为他自杀，真是傻逼呀后面还为他写了一部关于他们之间的小说，真吐了都，还不如和那老师在一起了
我觉得是一部很有意义的电影，不仅讨论了印度的传统对女性和同性恋的限制，而且还探讨了人生问题，比如面对孤独，勇于追求等，超级希望是HE！
挺惊险的，女主的求生能力是很强的！另外不要随便和陌生人聊天，更不要交损友！
