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.

节奏张弛有度，场面酣畅淋漓，配乐随之而动，对路人友好的一部电影，比新蝙蝠侠好看
鲜血还以鲜血，杀戮回报杀戮，
最不像浪客剑心系列的浪客剑心电影，不过却是内容丰富度和完成度最好的一部，白雪纷飞、鲜血淋漓，典型的日本式凄美。
最好笑的是开头那幕，那个武士一边喊着我不能死连续两次站起来挨浪客剑心的刀，这不是老寿星上吊嫌命长嘛？武士的妻子有村架纯含着复仇的想法接近拔刀斋，没想到渐渐爱上了他，但在雪地决战中被误杀了，剑心火葬了她，奔赴战场
更喜欢画面和动作，故事其实一般。大概因为都来自于同一个文化基因，影片所描述的这个江湖，以及人物命运，还有人和人之间的情感关系，还是能引起不少共鸣。
本来是抱着不太纯的念头打开的，但最后居然越来越入戏甚至流了泪。说起来还是感谢银魂，对日本的这段历史稍微有了点儿了解，所以不会一头雾水。
最强真人漫改正式完结，用追忆篇作为系列的结尾，开始即是结束，结束也是开始。《飞天》响起之后，是属于刽子手拔刀斋的故事，《飞天》响起之后，则是属于浪客剑心的故事。单就成片而言，其实多有缺憾，动作设计也不如前作那般惊艳，但是原作的底子很好地丰富了绯村剑心的角色形象，关于逆刃刀的执念终于变得有迹可循。
有疯批美人就赢了！她能见面就干你，干完就把你崩了，害能悬空用腿把人锁住引体向上把你勒死，还要啥自行车。
你是能興起腥風血雨的人，你一直是習慣孤獨的；然後你遇見了幸福。那字、那景、那雪都太美了，美的那麼不真實。之後你似乎感覺到了，你是沒有資格幸福的，能擁有的就是那美與痛的殘留。到頭來你終於明白，愛與恨是一體的兩面，這就是人類的業報。
以前不明白为啥就很喜欢这个男人，突然发现可能是因为这个男人带刀。我也是。
节奏奇慢，慢吞吞都不足以形容的慢，人物讲句话都要半天，借用北野武评价东京奥运的一句话吧，“我睡得可香了”，小日本似乎就喜欢这么深沉装逼
这不就是烂片吗，这个分数怎么了，感情跟漫威调换了？还是大家把这片当成漫威打分了，这电影前头水成那样都看不下去，后面把美国的丑恶嘴脸暴露出来就又有点那味了。但是也还是改变不了这是烂片的事实啊。而且我建议以后DC拍的电影时长都4个小时以上，因为每次导演想讲的东西太多！
爷青回！网飞牛批，居然不用等半年！村花演的巴挺好的
鼠命虽贱，多则无敌。下一部拍DC小丑女大战漫威黑寡妇吧，绝对爽翻。
追忆篇真的看多少遍都好心痛
这部的文戏较多，对于大部分人来讲或许有过沉闷，没啥可说的，最后的配乐响起是鸡皮疙瘩瞬间起来。
先看追忆篇OVA再看这货，可以知道什么叫云泥之别
爷青回！网飞牛批，居然不用等半年！村花演的巴挺好的
超一流的動作打鬥，極佳的改編。劍心迷必看！
最开始的剧情 爱上了杀夫仇人 有点扯吧………
