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.

也许有人不相信未来克隆人可以替代自己，也不相信现在人可以看到启承转退和人心意向。选择替代，就要承受所有的挣扎和不舍。选择知晓，就要咽下所有真相和疼痛。都是沉默和不可说。
人类在1996年成功克隆出了第一个哺乳动物——绵羊多莉，随后这项生物技术引发了公众的广泛关注，和对克隆人出现的担忧。
原来真的就这样接替了人生啊
我不懂，都可以完美克隆了绝症怎么还治不好？（对不起我有点杠）
人类在1996年成功克隆出了第一个哺乳动物——绵羊多莉，随后这项生物技术引发了公众的广泛关注，和对克隆人出现的担忧。
老土。每一步都是意料之內卻又意料之外——意外劇情文本的幼嫩和無聊，極度堆砌的感動其實會令觀眾反感。
Cameron流着眼泪微笑
（阿里的演技 好牛！
人类掌握了分子级别的生物克隆技术，
片子有很多挺莫名的特写和镜头切换，完全Get不到这么做是为什么？后来想想是不是漫画里这么画了的缘故？但电影不是漫画，镜头语言还是不一样的。觉得超级英雄片需要新故事，新叙事方法，老配方已让人疲倦。最后想知道Thinker这一头拔罐的平时要怎么睡觉…
借着科幻的外壳，讲的还是伦理探讨。题材不算新颖，但胜在拍的真挚感人，很容易就会有带入感，尤其阿里的演技太赞了，超级感人。天鹅为谁而歌，swan song for every single one
而且还要共处 交流 分享同一个生活
但是 它们马上就会支离破碎
这是个不让爱人知道自己不久于人世而使用克隆人去陪伴她的深情故事。关于克隆人总逃不开伦理问题，连主角自己开始也难以接受另一个自己来替代自己，奈何情深“一定不能让她知道这个事”和透过克隆人眼镜传输看到爱人的影像，真是憋死人的节奏。
看着自己无能为力，看着自己渐渐被代替，与最熟悉自己的自己尝试相处，站在不同的立场与自己对话，为自己和自己着想。这是一部能让共情能力强的观影者如痴如醉的电影，情绪绵绵留长。马赫沙拉阿里的演技太厉害了，嘴角翘起1毫米都是戏。这部电影就是我常说的，看到第一个画面就知道会喜欢的那种。最后，请看着我的眼睛，说你爱我，因为我的眼睛中住着真正的我。
鲨鱼王手撕鬼子，导演也看抗日神剧？无聊的超级英雄加入了一些血浆元素瞬间就好看了许多。
片尾男主走到地下室一脸错愕，还以为会发现者自己原本也是克隆人哈哈～
哈哈哈，我和我妈一起看的，我妈的反应太能代表对这部电影的评价了：一边爆笑，一边说太恶心了，什么玩意。沙雕也是一种才华，一种颠覆预判，创造反差的想象力，哈哈哈。电影一直在讽刺美国，不知道美国观众看后作何感想。疯批美人的人设太有魅力了。想不到在一群有心理阴影的超级英雄里也有正邪之分，最后还能讴歌出捕鼠者感人的父女之情、弱小的老鼠团结打败派大星的正能量来，佩服佩服！
剧情设定和镜头语言将影片的黑色暴力处理得非常荒诞、幽默。几位角色特点鲜明、深入人心。
却匪夷地无法治疗肉体上的某些病症。
