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.

男主杀手因阿尔茨海默病失忆的设定不错，心中最后的善恶信念也算合理，剧情上不功不过，但卡司们都上了年纪，亮点少了很多。电影简单来说：善恶难分，弱者最后的正义或许只能以暴制暴～
让就快老年痴呆的杀手连姆去杀小女孩，大叔哦不大爷不干了，反手帮警察把坏蛋都利索的做掉了，就这么简单，但让连姆和莫妮卡这么惨死对得起观众嘛，我好几百个片子没看立马就看这部，结果女神被割喉了，过分。
连姆尼森和莫妮卡贝鲁奇都老了～
MTC指数即将跌破40。没想到莫妮卡也老了，连叔也别再接动作戏了。
就那么回事吧，后半部分显得那么无聊又无力。有点故意拖节奏的感觉。21世纪电影的通病。
这部片里面大叔扮相更老了，居然还患上了老年痴呆健忘症，看的人心疼，英雄迟暮啊，最后死的也比较惨。不过大叔还是一如既往地杀坏蛋，伸张正义，爱看他杀坏蛋。
营救之神古稀再战江湖！哪有什么岁月从不败美人！只有蛇蝎母亲舐犊情深。
尼姆连森有很深的套路
连姆是奔着杀手大叔终身成就奖去的，这个适配角色故事都可以连上了
此时此刻，以物换物的乾坤大挪移技能施展了。
很Liam Neilson的电影，为啥不叫《记忆营救》啊？他的片子都和“营救“有关，老年痴呆唤醒杀手的良知，开始寻找救赎，故事还不错
连姆尼森出品，必是突突突动作片。这部自然也有很流畅爽利的动作场面，但万万没想到会把英雄迟暮也这么赤裸裸的展现——直接设定男主是个老年痴呆症早期患者。对一个专业杀手来说这简直是要命了。所以片名的第一重含义就是字面意思上和记忆有关的“失忆”。而第二重含义是到了FBI男警察在转述自己妻儿被杀事件时才让我意识到的——我们总以为一个犯罪行为，如果没有物证但有人证也能将罪犯绳之以法。殊不知人证是基于人对自己眼睛看到事物的记忆，而若是这记忆出现了偏差，罪犯仍然会逍遥法外。你以为你看到的，却不一定就是真实的事实。我们赖以信任的大脑，也会“欺骗”我们，留下错误的“记忆”。
真的没有烂，只是这种剧能拍得如此长稍微有些…飓风营救老爹最不烂的一部，各种推进合情合理，警方智商在线，老爹也不是全能，可以可以。
Memory.2022.2160p.WEB-DL.x265.10bit.HDR.DD5.1-NOGRP，Monica Bellucci和连姆老爷子都老了
7分，比尼森叔前几部片子好一点，至少不是让尼森不停的去打打杀杀了，加入了失忆的元素在里面，配合他的年纪，剧情合理了一些。片子算是一个杀手救赎的故事，反派那一坨整的乱七八糟，结局自然是法律依然惩罚不了有权有势的人，但一个正义的普通人可以！
多年的老辣杀手会因为对方是个孩子就心慈手软，这个设定就属实荒诞不经而且透漏着一股子当婊子立牌坊的味道，根子上味道就臭了，那后面的可看性也能想象了。
尼森老爷子给足了男二三人组戏份，分工还挺默契。
比前几部“营救”片好多了。洛城机密之埃尔帕索外传。
晚期老年痴呆杀手不能退休，这个设定直接扣一星。故事其实老套，又弄的复杂拖沓。其实整体还是可以的，老男老女老了也是演技在线，我觉得2.5，给0.5鼓励
何为螳螂捕蝉，黄雀在后，最后一箭收尾得很干脆。男主智商捉急，非要认准由自己来死守金岩，而且就在跟前看着不挪窝。没读过中华典故大全吃大亏，妥妥的此地无银三百两。既然之前埋藏了那么久都没人发现，为何就不能两人一起去找挖掘机。男主找到飞机残骸围搭了个遮阳棚，可在沙尘暴面前被摧枯拉朽。途径此处跋涉者，见他根本不会撒谎，称自己收的是破烂，还继续苦等朋友来捎他。当跋涉者窥破他的内心，男主怒抄起铁锹拍死了跋涉者。本以为是脱水，男主出现了幻象，可找上门的另一位跋涉者就是沙漠姐妹花其中的妹妹。被外出寻援的老道，放了鸽子的男主，成为了殉财者，被豺狗叼食而死。导演展现出蛮荒条件下的生存法则和人的贪婪，可故事发展缺少张力和分支，全在预想之内。好在演员的表演足够使人沉浸，化妆效果到位，皮肤的起泡和脱皮极为逼真。
