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.

从选角到表演，到剧情，到高潮设计，无一不透着一股傻气，就是感觉很傻。不知道相对非主线的漫威电影，为啥找些气质和经验都不搭的人来导
还有无与伦比的力量和速度展现感!
这部的确跟以往的漫威不一样，用了过多时间和镜头想表达更多感情，但元素杂了，节奏掌控的不好，感情点没抓到核心动人之处，剧情又不够，想表达的越多，往往就是越表达不清。影视要讲好人性、感情，细腻、有深度，不是这样拍的。很多角色选的演员也出了问题，不适配。导演的想法、拍摄手法和经验能力都不出色，没有大格局，如果放在小成本剧情片里，可能是小惊喜，放在漫威新一代超级英雄开幕式科幻片里，失望了
至于日裔编剧书写，华裔导演力排众议加入的广岛原子弹片段，Chloé Zhao可真行（贬义）
毕竟一部电影要讲十个角色，塑造的很不错了。关于牺牲，关于拯救的话题蜻蜓点个水就大团圆了，本可以讨论的深入很多，很可惜。非常喜欢女主的设定，这种不靠拳头打天下的“大女主”能出现在漫威中，着实眼前一亮。
全片特摄片质感严重。这片子的设定等于是说，人类不配自己发展科技，不配靠自己发展出文明，不配自己生存下去。其实导演的问题不算太大，主要问题在于设定上。永恒族为了方便在地球上生活变成人形也就算了，为什么能操控星系的天神族也要是人形啊。
… 选觉真的太政治正确了 / 厌恶整个故事设定 / 会进化的野兽 和 会被擦掉记忆的永生人 我选前者
结尾的return预告不啻晴天霹雳，不禁悲从中来，让人哭着祈祷下一部来临前赶紧世界末日，至少把我先灭绝了吧，反正不是续集死就是我亡……
抛开一堆政治争议，确实越来越像小学生电影了，超人、闪电侠、神-马东锡什么的都在凑热闹，还好视觉奇观不错，一群永恒族能玩出组合技~
挺好看的。没看过漫威电影…两个半小时真的给我干睡着了，结果因为睡着了miss了一部分情节，最后有点没看懂呜呜呜。总的来说，赵婷牛逼！还有就是地上的浪味仙很抢眼哈哈哈哈哈哈
IMAX@英皇iSQUARE 电影实在拍得不尽人意，风格正如大杂烩。虽然很高兴能看到世界各地风景&古文明镜头重建，但是本片的文戏、武戏都非常不够意思。武戏方面，打斗不精彩、任务本身比较空洞，而且这些人的技能和战斗风格我感觉和其他电影动漫雷同程度过高；文戏方面问题更多，电影过多不出彩的嘴遁镜头拖慢了节奏，男女主的关系以及男主的反复无常更是最大的败笔，核心剧情对自主意识的探讨也是陈词滥调没有新意，永恒族在漫威宇宙里面的定位也很尴尬，当然我更加不赞同永恒族帮助了人类文明进化的这一种设计。此外我感觉本片变本加厉的zzzq是真的没有必要（经提醒，演员本身就是聋哑人，那还好点）。两个彩蛋也非常没意思。此外虽然不可能实现，但是我希望这群人以后最好以金刚葫芦娃的形态登场算了…
开场就震惊了 一部漫威电影要靠片头字幕介绍背景然后拍两个半小时才能讲清楚故事 而且大量不能细琢磨的逻辑 到最后靠的是也不知道有没有用的办法毫无疑问的拯救地球 明明有那么多值得展开的地方 偏偏用在夹带私货的地方 黑人拜鬼真的是恶心到家了 而且说真的 虽然dc现在是不行 但各种碰瓷dc觉得很有梗？趁你病暗戳戳的踩一脚很有趣？要说死侍是因为演员个人恩怨就勉强忍了 这回还直接点名道姓碰瓷 说你不大度都是好听的 不过是工厂里的商品 可别真把自己当回事了
有的时候，我甚至怀疑迪士尼来中国捞了一波玄幻网文回去融入进漫威了。这不难看啊，为啥评分这么低？
看完不能说难看，毕竟是MCU中的一环。……看的过程就有点煎熬，无非是这么点事，非要塞进这么多东西，而且出现影视剧最忌讳的事儿，用大量对白俩交代和解释前世今生。……本来就是个群戏，还有大量的闪回，最后的片尾把地球上的古文明往永恒族身上生搬硬套，不觉得有多么好，貌似《变形金刚5》，就因为这个被诟病和吐槽。……2个彩蛋，一个是灭霸弟弟出场，一个是刀锋战士声音出场。……片中引入了DC漫画人物超人和蝙蝠侠。……剧本不好，影片的节奏是硬伤，明明可以做一个爽片，导演却非要故作深沉，结果影片找不到自己的风格，也找不到漫威的风格，却有了渣导的暗黑风格。……影片中夹杂的冷幽默，尬死了。……DC不拍超人，漫威拍了一个。
内外不调的感觉，对道的怀疑是个非常好的主题，我一度以为是圣人不死大盗不止的讨论，但是拍的太表面了，啥也没讲。
一整个儿地球竟是某个神族的孵化器，惊悚……为了保护地球人幸免于难，强行中止孵化进程，让刚要破壳(地球)而出的神族僵死壳中……残忍
漫威宇宙真的做到了极致，还能拍一轮的“XXX联盟”。
活了几千年，对待“星球毁灭”像是大学生答辩。Richard Madden is hot!从没想过他会成为某部剧的演技代表
又是一个跟An Absolutely Remarkable Thing有共通之处的故事。但太浮于表面了。几乎每个角色都是，从头到尾没啥变化，有的感情线莫名其妙。Barry和Julie的角色arch最差，太讨人嫌了吧。我觉得这个浮于表面大概是因为，我认为既然要讨论“神”（这两部作品里的神其实都是外星人）对人类文明进展的影响和人的主观能动性对文明发展是否重要，那么人才应该是主角。这个故事完全相反，没有任何人的戏份，演一群神为了人的生存战斗，就很疏离，也看不到他们为什么会在乎。这是故事本身的问题，电影拍得是还行的，比大部分漫威嘴炮片用心 、有质感。就是因为故事就到这儿了，很难走进人心里。
昨天看完“噪点”颇多，“彩蛋”密集的《玩乐时间》还久久不能平息，再看看漫威，白眼翻上了天
