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.

不要细究逻辑的科幻片 瑞安 为何总接这种片
2050年由于时空穿越飞船发明出后，妻子劳拉驾驶飞船意外失踪、父亲死因不明，亚当怀疑时空局的玛雅有问题；为查明真相，偷一架时空穿越飞机准备返回2018年找到发明时间机器的父亲路易斯以阻止研制，但却意外穿越回到父亲已死亡的2022年，遇到13岁的自己，需要二次穿越回2018，且反派老板玛雅带机甲战士杀来，危机之时妻子劳拉驰援而来。原来，劳拉4年前发现玛雅违规穿越回2018擅自篡改历史以控制世界，玛雅为掩盖罪行炸毁了劳拉的穿越飞船致使劳拉困在2018年。再次穿越至2018年，此时路易斯已发现磁粒子加速器可产生虫洞，进入虫洞就能实现时空穿越，并研制出一台磁粒子加速器。取出加速器的硬盘后，玛雅持枪挟持13岁的亚当索要硬盘，争斗间，2018年的玛雅被打死，继而2050年的玛雅消失。最后，13岁的亚当谅
Weak story, but hey, cute kid.
画面、色彩的运用都让人不难联想导演之前还拍过《Free Guy》。设定上用的也是科幻片惯用的套路，总是要扯一点水晶、磁场、回旋器之类的概念，再配个花里胡哨的场景。主线剧情加入家庭戏份比较感人，但全片没有过多讲述未来的“反派”如何将世界变得面目全非，导致主角们的行为动机缺少了一点说得过去的合理性，最后的高潮戏份也略显平淡，草草了事。Ryan Reynolds继续话痨，尽管很符合人物性格，但感觉再用下去终究会把戏路越变越窄，饰演12岁Adam的演员难得不怯场，整体表演收放自如，未来应该大有可为。
记不住超英的角色，所以笑点没有感受到，但剧情还是不错的，不过祖父悖论还是有，如果没有时间旅行，就没有亚当回来炸设备，那就还会有时间旅行，如果有时间旅行，那亚当还会回来，那就是说，其实过去永远不会被改变，因为未来已经发生过，如果过去是发生过的，未来也是注定的，那时间旅行不能改变任何东西。
这种电影完全不必带着脑子看，因为看完很快你就不记得了
放松身心的爆米花。不过，都2050年的科技了这么黑科技的战斗机怎么还在用机炮🙄 激光炮呢，再不济的话电磁炮总该行吧🤔
It’s fanny. 瑞安从《死侍》后再也摆脱不了嘴炮的人设了，and特效还是很棒的。最后也就三星半。
就小贱贱和小小贱互怼的部分有意思，其他部分都很平常，就是一部中规中矩没有惊艳的科幻片。
雷诺兹就很嘴碎了，这再来个小号的他，你敢不敢演个聋哑忧郁症患者，突破一下自己？
6.2/10，流水线式大电影，Netflix总是这样一如既往的稳定。
垃圾Netflix已经不想多说了。这么老套的剧情还能拍得这么难看也是很厉害了。但Ryan已经完全把自己的戏路走死了。
这种不需要动脑子的电影多可乐啊，看电影可不就图一乐呵吗。220312//
披着科幻动作外衣的家庭片，但很温暖，小朋友的演技可圈可点。
1.友谊电影院和丽丽格格看
标准爆米花，看着挺开心的
单独陪丫丫看的第一部电影
教授跳起来打儿子一拳好搞笑。就这样了。小狗狗太可爱了！谁不爱小狗狗呢！虽然钱来就干，瑞安这些年都同类型演太多了。
唯一漏洞：高速飞行的子弹都能吸走，装着同样子弹的枪吸不走？
网飞流水线片，雷诺兹正在变成演什么都像死侍
