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.

其实我已经快忘了之前被隔离是什么感觉啦 但是就在当下突如其来把我拉回去 最后大家感谢Paula的时候真的有点难过了 我会干那种半夜和阿姨一起发早点的事 每次过去都会感觉好像又看开了一些
1.屌丝逆袭类的爽片，但又糅合了底层小人物的柔情，和不屈服于权威的真性情。前面他吃着盒饭和儿子玩游戏，找前队友组队参加比赛为了拿500万奖金买学区房，真有种功夫足球的感觉，有一种周星驰式的喜剧感。
电竞圈水这么深的吗？资本真强大
肖汉也许不是世人眼中最成功的爸爸，但是他教会了肖太阳面对困苦生活的时候，乐观的处事态度。在肖太阳眼里，他就是个最成功的父亲，最棒的超级英雄。
很温馨，每个人都通过疫情隔离，改变了自己。充满爱
疫情的不同阶层，总体来说还是蛮不错的，可以看一下。
片子确实还行，在网大里。营销砸得是真猛。8月6号下午4点上线，晚上才一两百打分，就给开了个8.3，这要没点啥真说不过去。
故事情节老套但真诚，连贯
最后宝拉的因新冠去逝，让观影者回到现实。
三星半，吃鸡玩家应该会很high，游戏场景以及各种还原真的很不网大，质感也不错；但作为半个吃鸡玩家，还是有点遗憾故事过于工整套路。爱情线真的没必要，毕竟时长摆在那儿，亲情线挺喜欢。能低谷逆袭的屌丝那也得是曾经的cs职业选手，这种细节上的处理用心了。最后，平底锅yyds。
最后宝拉的因新冠去逝，让观影者回到现实。
因为过于一般没看完，也没有继续看下去的欲望……
另一个世界里的疫情好温馨啊，虽然知道是电影，问题就是在这里连温馨的电影都拍不出来
算是网大精品了，只不过剧情依然套路，依然逃不出《少林足球》的模式。相当于《少林足球》之屌丝电竞版。
故事套路的确有点老但看得出来演员和导演都诚意十足地完成了这部作品，尤其是游戏竞技追逐虚幻的梦想这一主题之下沉甸甸的现实，到了电影结束滚动字幕都没放过击碎梦想的远程一击，诚意十足的重新回到烧烤大业上来吧，干好了真的能买学区房。
外国人的团结力量总是让人动容，抗疫在一起的时光还不忘欢乐高歌，大概就是团结和音乐的力量。确实应该被人家调侃我们中国人一直追求吃各种野味带来的麻烦被骂笨蛋，虽然背后真相是如何，都一直不是天灾而是人祸，即使是文化奠基带来的也让人难以启齿。而且国外一直不注重防疫，一直以自由为上也不难理解西方国家就是有这么一个文化基础的奠定，蒙蔽群众的双眼是政府，想要稳定人心国情导致群众麻木知识短薄。
爆米花式烂片，这要是国产电影，评分不可能会有7.8分，大家也太捧场了！
与网飞作品的频频获奖不同，国内的网大几乎是“粗制滥造”的代名词。《硬汉枪神》放在网络大电影里确实突出，甚至不输于大部分院线电影。
哈哈哈 好看呢。各式各样的人在隔离，插画师，律师，网红健身教练，歌手，酒吧老板，管理员老公，楼主，医生。我觉得教授在研制疫苗的片段很搞笑，还有楼主偷偷开车出去找老婆骗警察举报医生也很好笑。
一般般，艺术来源于生活，想要表达的内容和疫情生活一样，感觉糟糕难受，却又无法回避。
