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.

没我们的《红海行动》好，倒和《战狼》有一拼哈哈！不过这个导演的《热勒夫战役》比较推荐。
旁白一开口就老毛子了。文戏一贯的俄式身份认知迷失，那句我不为国家工作，我为国家服务倒是挺好。亮点在武戏还有俄军方的全面支持。
讲的是一个为国牺牲的资深空军的故事，最精彩的是俄罗斯特种兵陆军的故事，其中武器，战术指导等等严重怀疑是军人扮演的，很真实，其他的相对一般。
全景还原俄罗斯在叙利亚战争的一个场景，虽然叫天空，但是空战场景较少。不过空战的场面甩谋空烈N条街，结尾战斗场景结束略有仓促。整体看，将一名空军军官的理想抱负、家人的理解支持、国家对军人的重视融入到这个故事情节中，令人动容。如果真实打分4星，就为了激励国产电影，打5星
无聊至极 俄罗斯主旋律 俄罗斯特效差得跟我们不相上下
取材真实，俄式爱国主义，看完确实感受到近年来俄罗斯对于军人的崇敬
现代战争的高科技和海陆空的强强配合，三下五除二就干掉了。最后纸飞机飞旋天空，有些感到。这世上不该只有美国的英雄主义。
特种部队那场戏紧张刺激，结局营救热血沸腾，不过太主旋律了！
前半段太磨叽，一直都在飙俄语。最好看就是从1:49开始，这才像俄罗斯嘛！之前营救没成功还搭进去一人一直升机就挺无语的。。。。。。
无字幕生啃！文戏太冗长，战斗场面不错，最后的海陆空齐上阵更像是俄罗斯军队宣传片，但两架直升机去救援被击落一架，反倒更符合俄罗斯军队的现状吧！开头和后面的俩飞行员不是同一拨人吗？没看懂！恐怖分子中还有说英语的，是指霉国介入吗？
毛子只是穷，但不弱啊！总体上文戏一般但武戏看着过瘾。有一段很动容：索什尼科夫阵亡的消息传到家里后，小儿子异常镇定地安慰姐姐，然后继续完成他的作业…
1、我们没有打败俄罗斯，我们骗了他们。
毛子的CG和战斗场面都做得很好，但是一到剧情上就拉了胯，，，
一部拍成个鬼片，但是好歹有自己的东西，能让人往下看。二部纯粹辣鸡。墨迹到最后几个特技镜头结束，完全好莱坞模式。没情节没故事性，还要硬凑几个人说中国人和外国人都听不懂的“中国话”。这个IP彻底拍烂了。
人中哈士奇，狗中土耳其，没错就是狗
节奏不好，温吞吞半天，刻意讲故事，还没讲到位。地面战斗场面尚可，说实话，处理的还真不如红海行动。刻意了。
另外看了几部俄罗斯电影，发现他们挺喜欢回忆插叙的，就是一个片段在整个电影中不断回忆
“我不为俄罗斯工作，我为俄罗斯服务”
一五年土耳其击落俄罗斯飞机改编 实战部分还不错 其余拖沓 三星半
