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.

大谋子把战争场面拍的很细腻，感人至深，小人物也是大英雄
你会东山再起吧，我喜欢你台上的样子。
微缩战役，比去年那部重复三方视角的金刚川好多了。
由于对长津湖第一部的观感一般，不打算看第二部，就看了这一部。大场面上，比不上长津湖第一部，但是观赏性很强，比起长津湖第一部好太多，尤其是剧情（故事），悬念，转折，煽情，先抑后扬，最后宣泄的一段个人感觉夸张了，但是当年那场战争，不正是让世界看到了奇迹吗？片尾加⭐！
给不到8 但是大泉洋莫名其妙太像我导了 战战兢兢
无论爆多少句粗口，这片子还是太甜了点，如此桀骜不驯的北野武怎么能变成一个传授奋斗鸡汤，传播正积极能量的正人君子呢？再说了，这明明应该是一部关于北野武的传记，怎么就变成《师父》了呢？再再说了，为什么现在的北野武不找本尊来演，效果差得绝非一星半点，扫墓那场和最后《鸟人》似的剧院长镜头泪不泪目就差在这一点，实在可惜呀。即便如此，还是打动了我，牛逼的人一定有比电影更牛逼的经历和故事。
“不要讨好观众，由你来告诉观众什么是有趣的”。
--帽子找到了
我和老公看的都掉眼泪，感谢前人的前仆后继，换来当今的和平年代。敬礼！
小武说美国有个叫Lenny Bruce的喜剧演员，不管是种族还是政治，什么都敢讲，我就是要做那样的漫才；听到这句话我很感动，尽量将来有一天你北野武是作为电影导演被全世界人记住，但是你确实触及到了喜剧艺术最强大的精神内核；深作师傅的故事太令人唏嘘了，麻里老板娘说我就是喜欢看到舞台上的你啊，看到这里默默哭掉了半包纸
你会东山再起吧，我喜欢你台上的样子。
在这个如此无聊的春节档以及只求激起爱国情绪不在意真实性和作品质量的影视环境下显得如此难能可贵
还是得看老谋子 这个节奏 设计 这种以小见大 还是得让张艺谋来开这个头 来升华
3.5，半部佳片，比悬崖好，值回票价。
短小精悍，聚焦于小人物，小事件，这样真的能够做到完成度很高。但是后来那个小狙击手，真的就能马上神枪手上身吗？小哭包真的就能在老父亲一样的班长牺牲之后马上整理好自己的情绪，调整作战姿态吗？主角光环有点浓厚。小哭包到后来的转变缺少一些铺垫(有但不够)。并且，我感觉有视角上的转换，前部分主角是刘文武，后面他牺牲之后主角才是小哭包。为什么要这样？好像现在我国主旋律战争片都喜欢刻画小兵的成长，隔壁《水门桥》也是，易烊千玺的戏份不算多也不算出彩，顶多算个见证者，参与者，幸存者。这样第三人称的视角，放在这样煽情的战争片里真的好吗？
無法抵抗這種傳統的師徒情誼，在阿武將高跟鞋擺在師傅面前時徹底破防。
穿西装的模样太帅了，感觉有点像太宰治啊
唉，一日为师终身为父啊。结尾的长镜头让人联想起泰坦尼克号，斑驳凋零的景物重返光华，所有人都还是最好的年纪。第一次听浅草キッド还是北野武上ぴったんこカンカン的时候，原来背后有这样一个故事。
在刘文武、在亮亮、在陈永胜、在全体五班战士、在志愿军战士的身上，我们能看到李陵奋战突围的顽强拼搏，能看到苏武持节的矢志不渝，能看到陈汤班超纵横西域的英武胆略，更能看到新的长城在三千里江山的巍然屹立，中华民族的百折不挠、坚强不屈，被老谋子用以小见大的手法与以小博大剧情展现得淋漓尽致。致敬，最可爱的人！
以小见大的故事，深深感受到当年战争的惨烈，有这样一部电影在贺岁档挺棒的，老谋子的出品很稳，章宇的表演很棒。
