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.

议题确实切合印度社会实际，当然较为理想主义，现代社会肯定是无法让强奸罪死刑化的，印度这种男权高度集中的国家就更是如此了。
非常工整！结构上，节奏上，角色上，表演上！这是我桑的最后一部剧情电影了，要珍惜啊！！
既然乏善可陈，咱可以提一提“金并&制裁者”的下岗再就业，尤其是“金并”从事律师⋯⋯
印度啊，国人都已习惯笑话你，但每每看到这样质量堪比药神的电影，一部接着一部产出，我只有由衷的敬佩
现实了？
说是能说的得通，但就是觉得有点儿闹着玩儿似的
一个伟大的故事，女主这样的英雄只存在于电影里，现实里不会有这样的机会，这才是更无奈的地方。配乐太烂了，从头到尾都是重复的一小段。
从剧情安排看中规中矩，看似疯狂的举动后，总隐藏一个更深更悠长的原因。她的疯狂像一束光滑亮无数受侵女性悠黑的天空。她让她们看到希望，所有弱者的声音就只能这样被听见，这真是一种可悲，可叹。所有的体制都会有不足之处需要弥补，每种需求都值得被重视。
最后的字幕:在看这部电影的期间，有8个女人被强奸。。
Till it happens to you you won't know
女性被强奸可能一生都活在痛楚中，而那些强奸犯却换张嘴脸继续好好活着。都看到了吧，不，他们熟视无睹。
虽然故事只能是故事
还可以吧，但火候欠佳。说不上来，哪儿块有点不得劲儿
电影都只是美好结局
属于比较工整的那种冲奖片，各方面的设计都很精心考量。桑德拉布洛克的表演朴实无华，一脸的厌世相很符合角色定位。监狱内监狱外的人没啥区别——对这句台词印象深刻。
向值得尊敬的人致敬！联系时不时爆出来印度关于强奸案相关的新闻，你就知道这部片子时多么的有现实意义了，也是在黑暗处爆发的那一声振聋发聩的呐喊，犯了罪的人安然自得，受害人却承担了所有的一切痛苦，甚至在这样的场景下不惜再次撕去伤疤暴露在世人的面前，只为那本就应得却也苍白无力的公平正义。
好故事，但却不是一部好电影。但是片子的诚意在这儿。
两个🌟送给女主以及任何同鲑鱼厂有关的戏。这种剧本，戏剧冲突层层绕，本质是melodrama，人物是散的，甚至是工具化的，全靠situation推进，很美剧的写法，很假。sandra bullock爆发砸东西那场更是假…
普通的星期四，不普通的绑架案，犯罪惊悚片《星期四》https://v.ixigua.com/Nu8GjRT/
剧情比较老套，配乐也是一惊一乍的，反正你会比主角先猜到下一步会是什么样的剧情！全程都是快进看的！ 用电影反应社会问题，这一点还行吧
