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.

“他知道的。”老洪救人掉到地下，小洪知道了那里我莫名其妙哭得好惨啊。
这部影片剧情紧凑，逻辑顺畅，演技在线，非常值得一看，它让我有再刷一遍的冲动。演员对于情节的处理非常强，在某一段情感爆发时，你会觉得酣畅淋漓，影片内涵众多，不同角度，不同方向都会看出不一样的感觉，会有不一样的看法，值得反复观看。最后想说，中国人永远是自己的英雄。
没事先查看过落脚点+雨天的free solo，看起来太不可思议了。一路落石头洪翼舟一路顺畅避开石头穿过障碍，主角光环太强了。方案改来改去之间没有团队评估下，光凭一个工程师的数据就可以啦？看起来好儿戏。全片只值两星，但想给最后结尾的铁道兵片段加两星。有个画面是两个铁道兵抬着什么分别走在很细的线上，很震撼！作为一个已经对基建狂魔的中国速度习以为常的普通人，第一次知道原来有些铁路我们是付出了一公里一个铁道兵的代价才修成的。感谢铁道兵们的付出，他们值得被铭记
演员阵容强大，剧情有点拉胯，要是特效再真实点就完美了，总得来说还是很紧张惊险感人的片子。
看过了来评价一下，这个电影场面很刺激，超级燃，催泪的地方很感人，真的值这个分数！
身与魂，无所不惜。
今天看完点映，很感动，铁道兵yyds，朱一龙跳飞机很帅，老洪值得尊敬
4、铁道兵确实是中国建设中最艰苦，前赴后继牺牲最多的人，值得尊敬！
用人堆起来的国家 就要用更强大的实力去保护
2021.10.8观于fdu相辉堂。那位徒手攀岩的外国能人已经是攀岩界顶尖的存在，尚且要勘察地形、反复操练、养精蓄锐、装备齐全再徒手攀岩，而本片的男主遭遇大雨、岩体易碎、着力点极少，难度呈几何倍增长吧？！不过，必须向中国铁道兵致敬！这是本片的主旨所在，可惜着墨不多！
挺好的灾难片，山崩地裂的片段有点燃，有点小遗憾，没有一直燃下去，就突然画风一转，灾难片变科幻片了。
致敬英雄
让人哭到头疼，男女主都以为自己要活不下去的那段，直接哭死😭
不说剧情，灾难片的效果还挺震撼的，追赶好莱坞的节奏。铁建定制宣传片，剧情不好评论，攀岩🧗♀️那段太夸张了，比《徒手攀岩》都猛了。片尾字幕值得看完，铁道兵是和平年代死亡最多的兵种。另外，黄志忠陈数俩人的角色有点固化了，固执强硬理想主义黄就没走出《人间正道是沧桑》的杨立仁，陈数就是理性冷艳女科学家没走出《暗算》黄依依…
虽然剧情很多硬伤，人物刻画也单一，还喊了很多主旋律口号，但是作为一部爽片还是蛮过瘾的
让中国获得基建狂魔称号，屠榜世界桥梁排行的人，原来是和当年打赢抗战内战抗美援朝对印越自卫反击战的都是来自同一批人，他们叫中国人民解放军。
能看，但一点惊喜都没有。
今天看完点映，很感动，铁道兵yyds，朱一龙跳飞机很帅，老洪值得尊敬
一言难尽。舆论各种批评一些“题材红利”、“类型红利”，这种片子也算吃了某种红利的吧，怎么就没人敢说呢……
我已经买了今天下午的cinity票准备二刷，据说是120帧的画面，比普通电影画面帧数多一倍，超级流畅，而且还4k高清，上次关注点基本都在剧情了，这次再认真看看我们贵州的山水实景以及据说流浪地球特效团队给做的特效，希望二刷不会再哭得涕泪横流找朋友要纸巾了。
