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.

男主的气质真的很适合这个角色，但是演技需要打磨一下，反而女主给我惊喜很大，就是个小天使吧～～bl世界就是bl世界，当搬到现实就没有那么简单了，一边娶老婆生子来维持自己的社会面，一边私下交男朋友，谁也不想如此过活，只能希望社会多点宽容性吧（并不是洗白现实骗婚骗感情的）跳楼虽然让我惊讶了，但是一个人的跳楼其实改变不了太多，最后同班同学从开玩笑厌恶到理解，其实满理想化。女主真勇敢，最后对着所有人说我最喜欢看bl了，看得我好爽，因为我也想对着所有人勇敢的说：我最喜欢看bl了！！！
＃美国电影 ＃动作片 ＃犯罪 ＃种族 ＃人性
好多熟悉的人哈哈 因为最近在看难破看到男主愣了一愣 这不是伍代吗/真的好喜欢诚先生和男主之间的感觉 完全符合我年上男的取向 要是他们俩肉文我也能接受了
貌似警察进入攻击，劫匪和几名人质死亡；所以“由真实事件改编”，非国大的暴力抵抗是得到过曼德拉支持的，但后来推行的种族和解才是曼德拉与其他人的不同之处，如同Invictus这部电影，顺便在这里推荐下。
虽然人心向善，但是自由的代价，真的是很大的，尤其是当有人自以为是霸主的时候。
演讲比剧好诶，没有那么尬，但是感情递进不够，看剧版我可是流了一海水的泪啊！看这个好像没有特别打动人的地方……也有可能是演技问题？但是影版画面是很漂亮的多给一颗星
这里没有斯德哥尔摩综合征患者，暴力的对象极其明确。傲慢的权力，迟早陷入愚蠢的慌张，和自戕的局促。在觉醒的民众面前，一切反动派都是纸老虎。有一种暴力是反抗，有一种对抗是解放，有一种牺牲，是献身，有一种精神，是自由。

影片场景设置有一定特点，整个剧情的发展设置在一个银行圆形大厅里，类似就像设置了一个舞台，剧情的推进也基本以舞台剧的方式，围绕着这个中心的场景发展。
男主眼睛好漂亮，蓝色鱼缸前的吻戏我真的狠狠心动，少女幻想和现实阻碍还是有落差啊，应该是开放式结局吧？不知道男女主有没有he
不错的片子，甚至不需要艺术加工，能把真实事件完整据实地拍出来就已经足够了。
苦大仇深黑哥们的故事快看吐了 再结合南非如今发展的“成果”……
“是啊，我是黑人怎么了，就不能呼吸了吗？”
有人为了自由能舍弃一切，有人为了职责能奉献一生。
温情满满的劫持人质事件，最后曼德拉出狱了，这是改庆祝还是……
挣扎是蛮真实的惨绿少年挣扎，结局很理想化，然而即使是听到理想化建构下具有同理心的发言，也让人稍稍宽心。以及gay不能组建自己的家庭，请把矛头对准同性婚姻法和社会规训，不要把女性当成你们的牺牲品。纵有数十次拳头硬了的瞬间，但男主好帅，我也想飞往bl星
三星半，中规中矩。基于真实故事能促使去了解历史
同样最具震撼力的几个字依旧是“根据真实事件改编”。对于一般民众而言，殖民地被殖民的关键不在于军政大权被掌握，在于文化殖民的“书同文，车同轨”，前者抽象、遥远、无法形成身份认同，后者则使用宗主国语言文字并嫁接全套文化系统，所重建的思维模式将同步共享，并对土著文化清理、驱逐，令人不寒而栗。若是殖民时期，平权观念很模糊、或者仅秘而不宣地被特定人群使用；后殖民时期一来，西方基督教文明跟随工业革命、近现代科技的发展而同步更新成一套更为进步的系统，显然，殖民地的传教者与被传教者势必会遭受矛盾观念的冲击：如果人之为人的定义是确定的，一个种族不可能主张平等博爱的同时却认为另一个种族低人一等。如此一来，被剥夺一切的黑种人中会产生献祭于错位观念的黑人领袖并号令跟随者来向伪善的白人至上主义进行血的控诉，在情在理。
我一直在想的是，如果纯跳下去之后没有被救回来，而是直接死掉，那么又会是怎么样的结局呢？
