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.

某些人因为对白里时不时参杂蹩脚中文而对制作方感激的要命，因为曾经侵略过西方的东方反派目的不是毁灭世界把片子吹捧成舔华，因为有人说选角不符合商业片标准把徐峥和葛优的长相说成是乳华？？？？？
漫威一贯的水准，退去以往美剧模式里培养起来的超级英雄人格魅力之后，就是这个样子。
那我想这样做的意图要么是主观上的刻意安排，要么就是潜意识的思维惯性。原因如果是后者的话，那我只能说更符合西方社会对亚裔男的偏见了。
我是土狗我爱看！好看！越看越顺眼，另一个宇宙的山海经好评！
哈哈哈哈哈看得好开心，太久没看无脑爆米花了，一边看一边傻笑，所有的套路我都吃了，而且刘思慕最后决战那个ending pose居然还有点小帅，不过伟仔老了好多哦呜呜。公交车和脚手架两场打斗戏很酷啊，吸收了不少港片的影子，不过最后进入村庄里大战神龙反而就有点无聊，山海经神兽的部分融合得似乎还不太够，但也没法要求更多了吧。最重要的是，套了一个美式背景讲述华人家庭，一个专制执拗甚至蛮横的中国父亲，孩子在这样的阴影里成长，一生都在等一个道歉，这样的母题我还是蛮有共鸣的。总之我觉得是个合格的爆米花片，现在立刻马上就想看第二部尚气2之尚气不接夏气（我编的），嘻嘻。
武打动作硬，视效奇观爽，情感内核也不拉胯，东方文化的运用不能说炉火纯青但也炖出了一番味道。漫威亚裔英雄值得一个更高的分数。
我会保证我的评分按照我一贯的爆米花电影标准去评，而不会优先考虑“我是中国人”“是否只是西方凝视老调重弹”“好莱坞又在秀意识形态了”这些真老调的事儿~ 不指望各位有我这个选择，但就希望豆瓣少点乌烟瘴气。——毒液2都见底了快，神奇女侠也仅仅是守住六分。所以尚气归根到底合格是因为豆瓣的ELO机制起效了吗？（非黑哈哈哈哈
可以看得出来漫威的诚意，就是有点不能接受文武si的太随意了。
怎么说呢，可看性还行，但是剧情不能细究，而且太套路了，梁朝伟作为反派也说不过去，毕竟说到底还是为了爱人。这片本质上算是中国版的《黑豹》，从场景、服装、道具以至于选角都充满了欧美对中国的无知和偏见，另外，男主真的不适合做主角，一到怼脸镜头就是灾难，对比梁朝伟更是惨不忍睹
作为商业片和超级英雄片是好看的。最东亚的地方是整个故事建立在亲情的基础上，文武作恶和死去分别是为了妻子和儿子，而且父亲和子女之间的隔阂是由于沟通不畅，但又彼此深爱。Ta Lo 大概就是古老中国的隐喻，文武是殖民者，黑暗力量类似于工业暴力或者现代性。用如此中国的视角想象一部超级英雄电影就还挺酷的！当然当然，一讲到“东方”就要警醒东方主义，可是乳化党拒绝自己种族里的某些生理特征，只喜欢欧美长相，不才是深入骨髓的东方主义吗？天天觉得乳化的人，真是破坏了讨论区，自卑又nc。
亚裔版《黑豹》，中文再多，毕竟还是拍给美国人看的，属于文化猎奇动作片。主角其实是梁朝伟，人物背景充实性格鲜明，尚气的存在感还不如奥卡菲娜。
还行，就是男主真的没有超级英雄的范儿，就像我下楼吃个宵夜，烧烤摊上坐满的喝酒撸串的大兄弟，还不是朋友中的c位，仿佛端着一次性杯子在听喝多了的朋友侃大山准备买单然后送朋友上出租车自己再骑个共享单车回家的一般男青年。另外那个龙真的是很丑！又短又细，仿佛长了四个小脚的大泥鳅
过去一年看到的第二场超级爽的公车打戏。思慕长得太像噗噗，让我好出戏（笑）。对迪士尼的 daddy issue 很疲劳，但动作场面和笑点都比意料中好，细节方面也很有诚意（有点希望那个京剧面孔的角色能多点戏份，搞个变脸什么的或许会很酷/creepy）。
朝伟我的朝伟！还没刘玉玲的那个《铁拳男儿》好看x
真的挺好看的
身為漫威迷每部都去電影院，除黑寡婦。很推薦尚氣去電影院看。 當下看完也覺得乳滑，但漫威電影一直都是在宣傳美弟價值觀的 不是嗎？ 看電影本來就是寓教於樂，
Why am i still watching marvel
这个东方神话编的挺好，有想象力，也看得出漫威的诚意，服饰、音乐、场景、神兽，漫威在片中融入了大量的中国元素，不论是否理解到位，至少诚意满满。成家班的武指确实nb，不论竹林打斗的灵动飘逸，还是公车打斗的成龙式写实，都堪称好莱坞打戏的一流了。表演方面，男女主一般，亮点全在梁朝伟，帅的掉渣了！
大厦外围脚手架打架那场很新警察故事。文武被吸光——陈永仁被爆头。眼神眼神。
片子确实有诚意不管是音乐特效还是美术，但还是一部美式爆米花电影，而且前身该是啥还是洗不掉的，也并不是一两句对白就能洗的😅
