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.

片子音效、画面没问题 但剧情相比前几部太弱了
7/10。熊出没居然都是类超英电影的故事线了，成年人看着也觉得很流畅，技术细节也很好。虽然只看了三部春节档电影但我觉得这片比另外两部成人片都强，剩下的也懒得看了。
春天3D 第一次看熊出没，居然玩得这么炫，看来毛绒玩具才是最终兵器。
父亲粗暴偏执的恨，需要这么多这么厚的爱意才可以被逐渐的融化。
怎么能把宽容理解 人的承受能力 这么俗的主题拍这么好？
牛夫人：
感觉商业性越来越浓厚，温情越来越少，越来越想离开狗熊岭，结果丢失了孩子气的纯真。
厦门金鸡第八场 算好电影 节奏慢 中间瞌睡了一下
电影反应了信息社会的一种悲剧，在媒体和大众的过度关注之下，所有事件的相关当事人都成了受害者，都被迫站在了道德的对立面承受着来自自我和社会的双重责备。跌入谷底的人只能自救，坚强的人会挺过来然后与自己和解，不够坚强地人就上演新的悲剧，最后只有时间将一切平复。非常有现实意义，影片蕴含着强大能量却同时把节奏控制得完美，佳作。
可是，开车的小姐姐明明最无辜，却因为抹不去的罪恶感以及得不到的原谅只能用自己的生命来谢罪。她妈妈在葬礼上哭着求原谅自己女儿的时候是最最心酸的时候。生活有时就是如此充满荒唐。
子供向和剧作的简单不是主要问题，缝合的无节制才是最致命的缺陷，环太平洋缝合了主题曲和几处模型，简直是把00-20s的科幻片做了一个整合式内容+奇观化处理，这种的偷懒还不如玩一点老套传统文化实在
涂透明的甲油是对青春的热爱，画远行的帆船是对亲情的眷恋，她生时不受重视，死亡却掀起有关人性的惊涛骇浪。那疾疾奔走的媒体，是血泊里讨食的野兽，那歇斯底里的老父，是年轻生命的判官。唯有可怜的直人，不断用至诚的叩拜与道歉诘问，谁该为偷窃导致的意外买单？
“昨天发生的灾难，了第二天人们就忘得一干二净。”放在当下疫情的角度来看，十分应景。
故事比隔壁喜羊羊差挺多的了
因为意外死亡而产生的责任与释怀的故事，只能在日本发生了。
挺真实的，一个失去女儿的父亲，一个陷入无论风暴的店主。
2022年7月30日观看。年轻人的脆弱。小事的连锁反应酿成悲剧。所以许多事不用过于计较。
今年的熊出没真的还可以，不愧是打磨两年的作品。
今年目前为止看到的邦画第一。剧本非常强，我很喜欢这种折磨完角色折磨观众的写法。一直在道歉，但是无力感做得好绝，题也点得很棒。看完好难过，人一定要失去如此宝贵的东西才会下定决心改变。我们是被害人又是加害者。叹气，年末不拿个奖说不过去。
主人公偏执的性格使全片氛围压抑，然而是不断继续伤害还是放过别人，直到全片的转折点主人公与女肇事者母亲的对话给出答案。不是令人舒服的电影，但通过事件对人物的写实刻画是值得一看的。
