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.

比《亡者之师》好看诶，虽然结局没劲，好喜欢女主……世界第一开锁大师设置成德国人就很……( ˙-˙=͟͟͞͞)
漫威的故事一般 但是演员选的好 特效加加分 演那个护士的真的不错
前半段非常小马风格，但逐渐感觉到他在迎合，再over一点就好了。
好了，其实这个节骨眼，我还挺怕蝙蝠的，别搞…
仿佛发烧了一般疼痛无比，但是又是内在感受而表现不出来。真的是吃了屎了会看来看这么难看的东西。
开锁对小哥来说是信仰，但拍开锁的场面太简单了，锁蕴含的故事本身和开锁这个动作本身没有任何联系，故事讲了一大堆最后却完全凭耳朵，这一点建议和国内盗墓小说学习一下，怀疑就是活死人军团所谓cp火了迅速借热度拍的…
幸好有两位美女看，甚至只有女主才是有演技的那个人
一个意外的收获是，这部电影可能在以后会成为佐证当下好莱坞创作乏力的经典案例，因为它烂得实在是太平庸了，以至于达到了一种教科书的水准
期待值放低倒不觉得非常差了，打斗场面和特效有些可圈可点。故事情节一如既往的烂俗套路，没有意外，人物塑造平面，反派毫无逻辑。比烂的话，还是毒液赢。
电影还不错
即不神偷也不军团，每次开锁之前的准备动作、讲一段关于锁的小故事真的是要把我急死。警察追捕和银行守卫简直就是闹着玩，就和电影里嘲讽的一样就是个baby银行。主角团里打手还算是有一场降智的声东击西抢银行戏，被老保安射穿肩膀真的是掉价。车手干脆就是个摆设，唯一一场自行车追车戏还与他无关，就这草台班子还告爱情背叛戏码，也是够了。不过电影的两个女主角还是挺亮眼的，女一号在速激系列被茫茫多主角淹没，这部戏里还不错，而黑客妹子是真真戳中我了。终归还是一部一般水准的犯罪电影。
上必修课确实是无聊的。麦洛是是你给我的名字，那我的的确确也应该死在你手里。男同性恋们又一次上了一堂生动的课，就算你杀死他女朋友，也不能让直男改变。何况人家女朋友还能复活，最后惨死的只有你。真就是最后选修课有点意思，直男们的小世界兄弟会要来了。
特效还是一如既往的好，但是剧情和人物非常不合理，为什么主角注射血清就是好的，配角就会变坏我想起了一个游戏，血源诅咒。盲猜女主也变了，果然猜对了，然后男主男配打了一架完事，好无聊的故事…
我已经忘了上次在美帝电影里学到新单词shi1啥时候了
死党无脑黑化就很傻逼 / 剧情太老套了 救命
在偷盗类片子里算是上品了，有点神经兮兮的主角有着超乎寻常的技能，而且充满了文艺范，影片中的许多开锁镜头也是拍的精美绝伦，女主角非常美艳，总之是一部很好看的片子
比想象的好看，声波特效很美。但是不喜欢两个主演，莱托演什么都一样，外貌包袱太重，其实也不怎么帅，说话声音也中气不足。第一次看马特演反派，比演正派好点
只要不那么好莱坞套路，就能有点儿新鲜感。不过大盗是比拼开锁数量，就显得无智了，即便现实应该就是这样。欧洲各国景观是真耐看。
最近的几部盗窃犯罪片都是女主挑大梁，这表现女人的贪欲有些强烈啊，不知道会不会又有人跳出来反对了～
