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.

糟糕日子的第二部童话，强韧的生命落入污泥，也会拼命开出绚烂的花。现实没有那么洁净简单，一席白莎丽要沾无数鲜红的血。但，从来没有什么权利，是不用靠双手力量争取来的恩赐不是么？印度电影这些年撕开的口，也是努力争夺来的表达。
最后居然是要求妓女合法化…好吧毕竟具有时代局限性
甘古拜原本是有钱人家的小姐，结果被渣男所骗直接被卖到了窑子里。这里面可没有任何人会在乎你的感受心疼你，吃人不吐骨头的地方。
影片三观让人严重不适，女主出生豪门因自由恋爱被卖到妓院，她在妓院遭受各种身心伤害，不去反思这个欢场所在，却自认是妓女受不到尊重才会受苦，到最后居然还想买淫合法体面，一个国家有妓女就意味着这个国家的女人是狗，这么简单的道理就不明白吗？不取缔这个欢场就会有源源不断的受害者，影片还一直让观众给妓女尊严，我给妓女尊严，谁给万万普通女人尊严？贩卖身体赚来的每一分钱都建立在血泪之上，女主不该用鲜花包装妓女这个群体，而且在她有钱有权时都没找卖她的男朋友报仇算账，只想着让妓女这个群体发光发亮，太恶心了。
没有上部长津湖来的感动，我觉得应该还是导演徐克的问题，浪漫主义加上不太切合实际的枪战场面，让我觉得有点出戏。
故事毕竟跨越了十余载 电影难以将其一一表现。因此很多转变都略显声音 女主似乎是一瞬间就强大了起来 发言有人认同 从富二代到妓女到老板到区长到女权倡导者 一切都有点过于顺利。
2.5 略优于前作，主要得来于不同导演割裂感的大大消失，个别角色牺牲前的刻画富有感染力
题材虽好，但是从电影的角度，剧情整体过于“大女主爽片”的套路了
把女孩嫁裁缝男友那段太狗血了。。阿丽娅长相小气、个子矮舞技差就别演大姐大了，《rrr》为啥要找她？就是为了印度语市场？？特曼娜、克里斯南，横跨印地语泰卢固语影视圈的普嘉海鞠、拉库尔不比她合适？
第七穿插连应到一百五十七人实到一人，是第二个意外
贼酷好吗 甘古白的白 是自由的颜色 好久没看到这么爽的片了 把小女孩嫁给自己爱人的那一段真的活剐人心了
白沙丽是月亮的白，云朵的白…
争取妓女合法权利。除了女权，其他情节简直禁不起任何推敲。
非常非常棒！剧情紧凑、场景刻画逼真、人物塑造鲜明……这部戏把前作秒成渣。吴京的演技愈发成熟自然，感觉已经和角色浑然一体；千玺也一改小鲜肉稚嫩，化身打不死的小强，发誓将红旗扛到底。特效也真好，好到让人目不暇接，而且也已经颇有好莱坞大片的味道，真实且悲壮。这部戏，应该是近年来最好的一部抗美援朝题材的影片了，它的脱颖而出，说明编导人员用了心。伟大的中国志愿军万岁，伟大的中华民族万岁！
比第一部好一些
周末一家去看的，还是挺感人的……就是有点乱
比起《望乡》那种通过妓女遭遇批判社会的现实主义电影，印度人的逻辑很奇葩。
我是妓女，甘古拜。
个人英雄主义浓墨重彩，指挥艺术无，协同作战没表现出来，成建制的部队成了敌后武工队
