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.

另外，这是要拍铁道宇宙吗？成龙的《铁道飞虎》结尾刘德华莫名其妙出现。范伟这个《铁道英雄》片尾曲是刘德华唱的。[破涕为笑]下一部，是不是《铁道英雄联盟》？成龙、范伟、张涵予、刘德华一起扒火车？
小日本子真是欠收拾，对付穷凶极恶的畜牲得智勇双全，风再大赶路也要看路，老洪，老王…铁道英雄永垂不朽。
太过普通，但还是会落泪，最好看的还是范伟。
老王和藤原两个角色都有特别的设计，老洪反倒没什么发挥空间。剧情和动作戏比较普通。结尾感觉有点乱来了，比如沉着冷静甚至还挺酷的反派突然外套一脱端起枪开始疯狂扫射……
creepy
火车、布景还不错，就是张涵予是不是现在只会压低嗓子皱眉说话了，人物一点也立不住啊，还不如刘威的老洪有江湖气。还就是范伟老师是那回事，和李雪健老师那一版各有千秋。
这两星给范伟，你大爷永远是你大爷。
制作和摄影精良，全面商业化的桥段和人物，但丢了《铁道游击队》好好讲故事的朴实。
A24
听说影片中拍摄的色情片是真实存在的，我去，这就有点诡异了
红色经典翻拍很难，的确有些成功的样板戏，但是都一个套路叠加就成了大乱炖的缝合怪啦，哎，就不要再毁童年啦
人物单薄故事简单，除了一点点影像上的风格化，实在难以吸引人
很复古，很午夜档
肃杀的雪天像极了《悬崖之上》，不过一到谍战片就下雪，有点审美疲劳。故事因为太过熟悉，情节改有点跳戏。范伟的表演的确可圈可点，但是因为他的小品总觉得有点搞笑。不过还是致敬铁道英雄们，他们为了反对日本侵略者，付出得太多，可歌可泣
真的也是没想到有一天张涵予和范伟同框我会选范伟
范伟是个好演员啊，可惜电影太扁平了，比较乏味。
看过的第500部中国电影？完成度不错，有细腻感情和丰满人物刻画的主旋律电影，质量放个次热门档期譬如五一应该没问题…不知道什么时候开始喜欢看激光高亮厅，180%亮度的大雪纷飞场景似乎很适配，不知道非高亮原片是什么感觉？开头有点像抗战版速度与激情，扒火车截粮食药品屡试不爽，临平站、鲁南铁道大队人物关系搭建完毕；满铁调查科上线之后遭遇挫败，掌柜的、万老板——小日本的称谓还挺入乡随俗，小护士协助避险、锄奸小插曲节奏有点慢下来；验枪员加入之后鸟枪换炮，终极任务炸军火专列来临，老王打酒传讯后扔手榴弹干掉尾巴那一幕帅爆了；结尾即高潮，谢幕之后（想象中）十二人车间重聚大合影泪目😭一部戏get范伟的演技，张也近几年主旋律参与得不少啊；感谢影厅没有提前开灯，静静听完刘德华先生《弹起心爱的土琵琶》真是一种享受！
当刘德华又弹起心爱的土琵琶，最后在铿锵铿铿锵的金属乐中，只想呐喊一声：铁道英雄永垂不朽！
9，山东人的家乡滤镜加一星，艺术加工很多，虽然没有微山湖，但漫天大雪的肃杀感也很棒，尤其弹起我心爱的土琵琶一出我就哭的停不下来。整体感觉改编的像徐克的智取威虎山，最满意的是，既有一个完整条理的故事线，又尽可能的做到内容充实和流畅的人物塑造，尤其是使用狡猾凶残的敌人来展现战斗的惨烈，近乎团灭的结局，工业制作也是八佰级别的优秀（华谊和博纳的审美差距过于明显），主题曲真的燃，抗日类型片拍成这样我很满意了（小么哥表现很惊艳，和范伟张涵予放在一起都不逊色
故事非常垮，前面努力铺垫半天，越到后面越起不来，要人物也是没人物，连男主张涵予都支愣不起来，最后点烟凹造型之流最让人头大，范伟靠个人特色抢了不少戏，但这个人物转变没说服力，突然觉醒扔手榴弹也太突兀了。
