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.

明明是乱世里面的两个悲惨的人相互取暖，却因为彼此而心有所寄。从最初的邂逅，到最后孤身一人，“良人随雪飘零去，生者独守十字伤”，当剑心用一团火来告别过去时，坚定前行的刽子手拔刀斋，从此再无弱点。
这节奏差到窒息，怎么把这个系列看起来文本最好的故事拍成这样的啊
这样的叙事挺好的，直白，不装，生怕你看不懂，甚至还前夫反复鞭尸3次+。然后这里面时代变迁的纷争，个人情感的纠葛，人在江湖，身不由己，既是选择，亦是宿命。
仗剑生，仗剑死；终于此，始于此，完成闭环。
剑心的慢生活
人诛篇剧透甚至重复利用这部的镜头，剧情丧失。完结篇拍的非常非常慢，巴的感情倒是全拍出来，显得前三部的薰完全炮灰女主。五部马拉松完觉得动作武打完美，日本剑戟片回潮。但叙事连起来后简直颠三倒四，在几乎最优的选角下没给演员多少发挥的空间。
7.7本月第100部影视，看过不少日本时代剑戟片，对池田屋事件、新选组等也算有了解。7年后，先看结局人诛篇，再看起始追忆篇，这是对我这种路人最不友善，因为不是剑心粉，当年只单纯喜欢动作戏，以为是剑戟片，其实只是武侠片……人诛篇的超神动作看的让人呕吐，追忆篇合理很多。没有情怀，无法五星。
另外，看看12年的江口洋介，那是真的帅啊！
不清楚历史导致时代背景有点难理解，只知道个大概，外加日语也难好多(。整篇节奏慢了很多，村花一出场仿佛0.5倍速，有些瞌睡，但收尾时还是狠狠被感动了一把。结束时导演突击挨拶，说感谢疫情期间还来观看，还说没看过final的一定要再去看final，当初也纠结了很久顺序问题
打戏如预期的精彩,是全片的精髓.尤其剑心和冲田总司的一战,也算是弥补了动漫作品留白的遗憾.
完成度很高，从十年后我与剑心的初次相遇，到追忆篇的完结，我看到了一个完完整整的剑心，巴不仅是剑心的白月光，也是我的白月光，她为剑心带来了生的意义，是剑心的救赎，是剑心的余生，巴啊，更是温柔了少年的我。自此，剑心的故事完美结束，他将和熏，和朋友们在一起，走向那未来，白头偕老，美好的故事将陪伴着剑心。
即使抱着很高的期待值去看，也不会很失望。冷色调营造的时代沧桑感，系列最写实和最冷峻的血腥场景，还有“一切尽在不言中”的眉目传情，都让本作成为了完成度最高的漫改（没有之一）。也许作为动作电影，剧情逻辑细推还有不少问题（反派嘴遁不下死手太经典了），但是作为爱情片，已经足够浪漫了。
看得全程持械。很棒的还原真人电影。感谢b站弹幕让我没在巴赴死的时候一不小心关了网页。
要不要等追忆篇出了我再去看人之诛
看到最后，有种悲从中来的感觉，佐藤健的剑心怕是再也看不到了
剑心形象不合预期，以及毫无由来地厌恶组长的脸。等不到女主出场就看不下去了，标一下（分这么高，如果能欣赏得了就好了）。
事前估算错误，追忆篇居然是整个系列还原度最高的一部，村花的妆容和演技完全hold住了雪代巴，动作场面依旧犀利，呈现一个有血有肉的刽子手拔刀斋，漫改巅峰实至名归~8.3
最后一部浪客剑心，感情戏真没必要拖这么长。
其实这么多部电影相同的动作设计打打杀杀已经看得腻了，但追忆篇的故事仍然是最吸引我的，这大概就是走心和走肾始终不同
对白废话略多并直白，新时代到来的感伤，篇幅又太少。这份感伤和我回想十几二十年前缩在出租屋里看漫画的年轻人的感伤共鸣起来了。
