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.

第一次在电影院看战争片，感受到的只有震撼！也再一次感受到了志愿军拼死战斗的伟大！
生完老二第一部影院电影，三个小时，基本从头轰到尾，哄的脑壳儿疼
三位导演都是大师级的，在各自擅长的领域都乃人中翘楚。并且在此片中也可以看出来他们使劲了全力，但是艺术这个东西，不是谁使劲大就能出效果的，三小时的影片一开始就能量值拉满未必是好事。譬如火车上打闹的情节可以缩减，小村庄的战狼打斗可以缩减，递红围巾的如果后续没有情节回应也可以砍掉，毛岸英的相关情节也可以另拍一部电影来展示。突出主线长津湖拍就可以了。长津湖战斗的本身素材足够拉满三个小时片长了。现在就像一篇限定八百字的高考作文，前面600字都在做铺垫，后面200字才正式进入正题，刚刚展开写就因为字数限制匆匆收笔。虽然语言优美辞藻华丽，但总觉得有种头重脚轻之感。
还有的老战友多年再见。
而且这两天也看了些评价，因此完全没啥期待，所以整体感觉还挺不错，三个小时竟然不觉得长，基本没啥尿点。不过中间的村庄遭遇战比后面的主战场好太多了。
3.5星，战争片不是我的类型。这场战争的性质也暂且不论，作为电影还是可以的，节奏明快，场面刺激。
三个导演厉害了。还是挺适合国庆看的。三个小时没多少尿点。最后希望世界永远和平
感觉作为一部战争片中规中矩，战争场面拍的太乱了，晃眼😂
《长津湖》 是真的好看。
有幸成为天津的首批观众，激动的心情不能平复，评价就两个字：值得，电影值得去电影院观看，演员和制作团队值得观众对他们的夸赞，伟大的志愿军精神更值得每个中国人铭记……电影是真的尊重历史，尊重感情，尊重战争。大场面大制作，小屏幕看感受不到浩大的战争场面带给人的震撼，每到战争场景时手握着拳头松不开，紧张，激动……嘴里不停的说干死他们……或许之前有对三个导演能否做一个流畅动人的作品的怀疑，有对其中某一位导演的不相信，但现在看完了整部电影，只能说多虑了。千里英勇果敢，万里倔强成长，梅生，雷爹，余从戎，平河……千万志愿军的缩影，谢谢您们付出一切，乃至生命……千玺，你小子又完成了一部高质量的作品，越来越能让我们影迷骄傲的说一句：易烊千玺是一名合格的演员，有他的电影值得去电影院看。
另外吴京出场里在家里对长辈的那一跪，那整段戏都很好。像一个历尽沧桑，成长归来的孩子，情感赤裸的跪在父母面前。我回来了。这给我的后面的观影带来了一种感觉，就是所有的这些兵，包括那些被冻住的烈士们，都是人家的孩子啊。
千玺值得！吴京值得！长津湖值得！抗美援朝精神更是永垂不朽！
5.徐克+陈凯歌+林超贤，如此豪华的导演阵容，作品却还是没逃出主旋律电影的窠臼。
“为什么我的眼里常饱含泪水
又一次独自去看影院看电影，虽然时长三个小时，但我一次手机没掏出来玩，一次厕所没去上过，一个瞌睡也没打，立国之战，打出国威，致敬先辈们，盛世如你们所愿。瑕疵方面：有时剪辑得有些凌乱，结束得似乎也有些仓促，是有续集的节奏吗？
这个电影让我感觉很成功的一点，是群像的刻画。没有因为群戏而弱化个人的形象，也没有把过多的镜头集中在个别角色身上，导致其他角色被忽视，我可以在观影结束后记住他们每一个人，说出他们的性格特征。这就是立人物上的成功。全场最佳吴京&胡军。
真的非常的震撼，虽然有三个小时的时间，但是内容精彩根本感觉不到就，看完了还意犹未尽。
中国人民志愿军万岁
国庆档强推，雷公牺牲自己的那段真的太催泪了，旁边小伙伴爆哭现场，场面极度震撼，我的爱国之心又一次燃起了熊熊烈火
整部电影由几场战争戏串起来，剧情可以忽略，致敬革命先烈
