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.

三星半吧，有几首歌真的很好听，但其他的感觉都有点平，印象不深。Vanessa长大了唉，上次看high school musical已经是很久以前的事了。小蜘蛛，Robin演得都挺好的，也喜欢拍摄手法，但就是觉得缺少了点什么。好想看rent
看了一场平淡的现场会议，讨论的却是如何屠杀一千多万犹太人，从组织、运输、人种区分、处决方式，平常得像讨论如何省时省力将北方的白菜运到南方。
难道凶手只是德国吗，不，欧洲各国都是帮凶！对德国面孔竟然有了阴影…
警惕非理性变态从狂热的傻逼变为冷静的官僚。
高度一致，有序协调，科学规划，精准高效地制定欧洲犹太人动态清零计划。
电影内容或许很有意义，也很有警示性，但这绝不能令它成为一部好电影
讲了一个历史事件，纳粹高级官员开会决定如何最好地实施对欧洲犹太人的种族灭绝，让我更加明白历史的沉重，也更加珍惜现在、热爱祖国。
畫風稍微粗糙，不過咒術不就這個味嗎？！讓我比較驚喜的是，我竟然從五條掛轉成狗卷掛了，光憑這點就足夠讓我給上滿分，畢竟我看《火影忍者》從來就沒從卡卡西掛跳槽過。在這部電影裡，每個角色的特質都好好的發揮了，角色眾多，能做好實屬難得！
15个冷静的杀手开了一个会议决定了600万人的姓名，这段历史该被铭记！
不评论会议内容。
他们像是在讨论如何处理一千多万工厂残次品 而不是人
太震撼了，把种族屠杀变成了一个技术问题来讨论。不过，西方也就会对历史问题进行反思了，当下还是一样双标，对历史的反思不影响他们现在对其他国家的侵略，连德国都往乌克兰运送武器
看完忍不住惊叹
这个会议其实放在当代职场也很适用，拍脑门做决定的领导和附庸想做成绩又怕背锅的打工人，那个质疑的声音从此职场怕是都不好混（电影比我看过所有的二战纳粹屠杀犹太人的电影都更令人窒息，人性道德良知根本不存在，谬论听到作呕
跨越时空的传承：开会不是讨论问题，而是发布通告。尽管代表们各有权重，人道主义在深渊中哑火地眨了眨眼，但最终都必须妥协于唯一。从1100万到0，个体差别毫无意义，动态消亡才是答案。文明如何堕落，疯狂如何写就，他都无须出现，但亘古笼罩于万湖之时空。
全片都没有出现背景音乐作为情绪烘托，话剧感非常强
当代歌舞片典范了。好听好听。加菲真的好像年纪大了🥺
前半个小时太吃力了，人又多，职位有多，名字复杂，语速飞快，表示跟不上，不适合我的电影。
一个高度政治化的会议，有分歧，有争执，有妥协，有推诿，有柔怀，但最终都效率化，系统化，工业化，精细化地达成共识，并展现了自认为的最大限度的人道主义和德国式的严谨作风，与时俱进地完成了最高统帅下达的犹太人最终解决方案的政治任务。一部高度真实还原的电影，正如恶人行恶时并不总认为自己是在行恶，纳粹认为，为了维护日耳曼纯正血统的百年大计，他们这一代是在负重前行，同理，日本军国主义则自认为他们是振兴大东亚的历史担当。
