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.

看到一半就失去兴趣，实在没能看得下去，导演功力问题，拍得太零碎了又充满套路。不过有两句台词说的实在不错，自己最近确实相同的感触，记录一下：“你爸爸的死不是什么荣誉勋章。自怜是一种可怕的疾病，即使你感到快乐，你也会沉迷于悲剧” “找到答案很重要，但知道问题是什么更重要。你不能从错误的问题中得到正确的答案”
还不错。不要在意外界的声音，认识自己，用一颗强大的心面对这个世界。
就是普普通通的一部动画电影，带着小孩看个乐呵也挺好。
烂，本质上的青春成长电影，还加上了导演共同民主党的朝韩统一诉求，当然开头对数学的介绍还是很棒的，让人有学习的冲动，但是相比于浮于表面的上面二者，我更喜欢博拉姆的感情线
我想对你好，可是你不容许世界对我好，可爱的小考拉，是动物园最受欢迎的动物，而丑陋的动物无人问津
这个谜本身居然与神奇动物无关，只在解谜过程中出现了戏份极少的麒麟，也是蛮神奇的。跑题严重且重点部分轻描淡写就算交待过了，有些细节全靠费劲地脑补，唯二过得去的，是特效和设定。
一个在麻瓜世界发生都会觉得稀巴烂的故事。
励志爽片。音乐与数学的勾兑不止这一例，却是最美的一例，用圆周率谱写钢琴曲那一节真是太美妙了。但整体来说套路过于明显，扫地僧+脱北者+校园屌丝逆袭+拨乱反正+八竿子打不着的忘年交，只不过这个扫地僧过于传奇，也许是世上实力身份落差最大、藏得最深的一个。韩国商业片一向以玩套路玩得特别认真而著称，这一部就请来老戏骨使劲玩了一把。不至于是6.8分这么低，四星可以给。
这片去哪找这么多见都没见过的十八线演员啊，A Fine Frenzy这妆容真是绝了，第一集像30岁，第二集像40岁，这集像快接近60了的老巫婆，小雀斑这癫痫式演技看得让人想抽他两巴掌，罗琳大婶的脑残剧本和叶茨废物的平庸导演水平简直绝配，很难让人不怀疑这两人私下有一腿。
题材挺好就是后边处理太爽片了，导致整个高潮部分都很弱，ps真的好羡慕男主角能遇到这种老师，上学上到博士了还是没能遇到过类似的
光鲜但谈不上炫酷的特效，单薄且漏洞百出的剧情：嗅嗅依旧可爱，英伦风呢子大衣也还帅的一比，但邓布利多一点也不迷，对于一个看西游记长大的我来说麒麟也一点不神奇，而明明六个箱子和一锅变身汤药就能解决的问题，偏要浪费我两个小时——但我还是在最后的决战悟了：亲爱的，5块钱的义乌吊坠，那不叫爱情。
啊！好可爱！考拉！毛茸茸毛绒绒啊！！好想ruarua看hhh 我本来以为会是更...更坏的那种考拉~ 其实就还好嘛hhh 只是嘴贱了丢丢，感觉很幼年向（应该本来就是幼年向的）。麦迪蛇蛇真的好漂亮！查兹和儿子真的好搞笑hhh 胡子掉了之后贴回去还要再看看儿子，儿子还要假装没看到hhh 合家欢欢乐喜剧了是。佐伊好可爱！！好想要只佐伊~ 真的聪明hhh 最后果然happy ending~ 丑陋动物神秘协会，那不就是douban的丑东西保护协会嘛哈哈哈哈哈哈~
画风或许可爱，以至于叫上两岁半的女儿一起看。很多梗有趣而巧妙，挺好的呀！
剧情太烂，数学家没有共情点，男主的落魄，曲折学业经历不丰满，数学的玄幻之处没有表达，影片名字有骂人嫌疑，老崔只是卖点
四平八稳的叙事，脱北者与高中生组成师生关系，同时弥补各自缺失的亲情部分，虽然俗套但没过度煽情，通过解数学题象征对真诚无欺的世界的追寻，同时也讽刺了功利社会与应试教育。
前半段很可爱，后半段剧本简直一泄千里，泄气的泄。发光的不是黑板上的公式，是崔岷植的眼神。看完想买草莓牛奶。朴炳垠恐惧或恼羞成怒时像一只炸毛的猫。
罗琳还愿意做这样娓娓道来不急不躁的系列，是我们这个时代的幸运。格林德沃最后和邓布利多说：who will love you now, Dumbledore? 我哭了
还有谁会爱你！有一种跟老朋友们见见面的感觉。迪霸哥真是又高又帅
一般韩影会仅仅局限于前半截“打鸡血”，会草草地讲一个“扫地僧”跟贫民子弟结缘、贫民子弟成绩一路飙升最后拿下“毕达哥拉斯竞赛”金奖的故事，了不起所有观众一起亢奋一番，表现并不会比印度早期励志片更出色，总之，止于“鲤鱼跳龙门”的阶层跃升，不会深入分析身份设定的细节、亦不会质询数学天才落难的事由，很多支线浅尝辄止，唯恐把摊子铺太大。本片不一样。本片是良心叙事、没有放弃任何一条支线：“何以脱北叛逃”的意识形态之争、教育系统内部腐败的利益之争、资源分配不公的贫富之争以及数学与艺术之间的共通性等议题的探讨无一不是好的观念的回响；“欧拉公式”之美、巴赫乐谱之美以及钢琴所演泽的常数之美是主客体交互中自由流运的抽象之美，一切又是人对客观事物的观照，足以见其人文、人本精神。相比制造一个奇观，本片更关心人的本身。
可惜讲得太浅了，要是在讽刺教育的部分再好好打磨一下就好了。整体是一个《心灵捕手》式的故事，现在看来有点老套，但是闪光点还是很多的。崔岷植的演技太牛了，简直出神入化，要为他加一星。
