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.

虽然每次看末世片的时候第一想法是一定要死在末世前以及毁灭吧累了，但这部真的很好哭。虽然吧我们人类真的又自私又狂妄，永远不可能和平共处永远不可能互相体谅，但如果真的有一天末世了物种更替了，希望下一个物种还是能记得我们久一点，因为我们也曾创造过如此绚烂的文明，因为我们也曾仰望星空幻想星际宇宙。
铲屎机器人养成记！话说这机器人真不是从隔壁《爱死机》跑过来赚外快的吗？情节也连得上：狗狗去世后杰夫开始环球旅行遇到了其他两个机器人同伴，最后遭到猫猫围攻，再次干起铲屎的老本行。
1、汤姆·汉克斯是一位伟大的演员。我喜欢他，他也从没让我失望。他的电影总是闪烁着人性之光，给我思考和启迪，给我力量和温暖。这部《芬奇》也是如此。
末世温情小品…阿甘老伯伯娓娓道来once upon a time的人性小故事，关于信任、性本恶的悲观故事，环境条件的恶化不是致命，与人斗才是灭绝的原因…Jeff刚开始的配音很怪也很棒…
《芬奇》又是这样一部典型的作品。末世人类的世界设定，关于抵达目的地同是又是自我认知的追寻旅程。主角芬奇与机器人杰夫互为镜像同时又成为了传承。以上这些其实仍然是常见的公路电影的内在核心。只是《芬奇》显得更有决心，因为整个片子的正序叙事中没有出现第二个人类。也正因为如此，《芬奇》唯一的缺点可能正是过于工整，过于四平八稳了。
被感动的是机器人的人性，按一个人来写机器人，一不小心就容易强加于机器人人性，电影拿捏的挺好，智能和笨拙同时在杰夫身上。当狗狗也死去，杰夫看怎么办呀……
4、这是一个小到不能再小的故事，我却从中看到了许多，感悟了许多，热泪盈眶，回味满满。
人与人之间的不信任与敌意恐怕是比世界末日还要来的恐怖 善待比自己弱小的生命 是生命基本的感动
算不上严谨的科幻片，甚至是披着机器人外皮的我是传奇背景下的公路片，高分或许是因为汪汪队立大功？
“这则新闻连续几周在电视，报纸和网络媒体上疯传，制造了热门话题，为了什么？这成为了这个13亿人口国家的唯一话题，这是刻意安排的，谁？为了什么，为了谁？三个问题，一个答案!”
电影牛逼就牛逼在能将女性处境、教育腐败、政治阴谋、体制溃烂、种族歧视、煽动人心、媒体操控、正义边界、法律公信等等这一系列我们一般都不会碰的话题通过一桩女教师命案完美的串起来了。抛开上诉题材不说，电影节奏、悬疑性、人物塑造方面都属上乘。
PS：机器人也比个别小鲜肉有演技。。。
如果到最后只有机器人和狗可以信任，那才是真的世界末日吧。
其实看到最后，更心疼杰夫，因为它不会死，而不死让一切虚无，才是最大的孤独，能告别的、能被告别的，才有幸谈论意义。
They made a robot to care lives. We made politics to kill.
太浪漫了，故事完整，how to build relationship with robot and dog? Be patient and trust. The same way with human being
别觉得印度乱、印度穷，印度的电影行业发达程度令我们望尘莫及。
末日版绿野仙踪公路片。一部很独特的美国科幻片。没有特别激烈的冲突和孤胆英雄拯救世界的桥段，对因是美国大片而抱有这种期待的观众来说可能要失望了。其实是一部讲述当人类彼此失去信任后，机器和狗子对人类的治愈的故事。大漠之上，巨岩之下，支起一把红色遮阳伞，白色俏西装的男人和瘦高人形的红脸机器人共进午餐，旁边是摇着尾巴等待玩扔球游戏的棕色长毛狗，还颇有童话美感。对喜欢治愈故事的观众可能是惊喜。但全片节奏还是稍显单一。
白胡子老爷爷比较好看。这电影只能找老汤大爷演
科幻版荒岛求生。特效蛮假。但是有可爱毛毛狗和机器狗诶！！！
