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.

“但你对我来说至关重要。”
这次轮到妈咪和中国保姆来拯救地球了。还有咱们就是说，月球是人造的戴森球为啥又是民科了，至少到目前为止月球之谜科学界也没破解吧。KC是个聪明的胖子，月核可以修复登陆器也就可以修复他，不知道妈宝男的直觉更准还是推理更准，应该是前者吧。
虽然跟赘婿小说完全走了两条路，但真的可以把商战继续下去，现代与古代的混搭还是笑果十足的。
情节上感觉啥都想讲一点，啥都没展开。
特效挺猛的，小胖子几乎撑起所有笑点。
#通过一些渠道看（几）部院线片，假装没有因为主客观不可抗力因素而不能去影院#科幻片没那么硬科幻，灾难片也没那么悲剧。可能没怎么看过灾难片反而看的津津有味，尤其是整个理论还蛮对自己胃口。整体卡司看着顺眼，视觉效果还蛮好看——如果在影院看或许类似科技馆放映厅短片体验——所以就不在意对于系统和制度的儿戏剧情。于文文其实可有可无，演技是一般的跨界：关于爆红、关于回春、关于多栖也是玄学。不过，如果她从此开启比肩“景甜好莱坞电影宇宙”的“于文文好莱坞电影宇宙”倒也可以买账【。
剧情也好、特效也好，都停留在十多年前……于文文，谁在力捧她？
以为是灾难片， 结果你搞起了科幻。然而科幻又非常不严谨。
这么多强大的卡司，弄这么一个简单直接胡说八道没啥逻辑的视觉大片，我还挺喜欢的。。。
月球偏离轨道，地球即将灭亡。倒霉男女主开着破飞船前去猎杀月球上的大怪兽！结果发现月球居然是“祖先人类”和发疯AI对抗的高科技基地。总之最后一番骚操作，拯救了地球…
气氛挺到位，但是老土是真的老土，看到后面我的灵魂已然麻木，这么大个科技怪物，只要一个炸弹就能解决一切，然后地球就给保下来了。中间还穿插着各种令人抠脚的爱情兄弟情父子情，并且对这些感情的诠释跟几十年前相比毫无进步。台词是真的烂，为什么能有这么多美国冷笑话，导致看的时候总感觉有乌鸦从我头上飞过。
不过，这部电影和《后天》差了一个《2012》，当做爆米花大片还行，水平确实和罗兰的早年作品差远了。
挺后悔没去电影院看的，这片子的剧情那是比智障还智障，演员表演比木头还木头 可是特效算是这两年我看过最满意的。月球撞地球的那个特效真的是每一帧都很美。熬过前一个小时弱智的剧情可以看到很美的特效。
月亮是人类建造的类似空间站，人类在发明了AI人工智能之后，AI要进行反抗，最终人类战败
#2022.76#天幕新彩云#旁边俩人从头聊到尾，您是来看电影的吗？虽然把自己带入到这个设定，也勉强能接受，但拍的真的是…好多没用的情节
Boring...所以和Don't Look Up是同一个故事缘起只是一个黑幽讽刺一个贼正经吗？

倒霉到了一个特别差的影厅，屏幕太差看得整个画面又灰又蓝仿佛在看枪版，所以完全体会不到震撼的视觉效果。除此之外的剧情都让人昏昏欲睡，所以断断续续又睡又醒只看了个故事概要，也就只能打这么高了。（毕竟整体内容没办法做到抛开特效还能让我专注的程度）
男主儿子（看他总觉得在看张全蛋？）、交换生的戏份可以去掉。
太乱了也，还有于文文这个角色到底是啥？女主的保姆还是伴侣？感觉都很诡异啊。
