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.

一人一狗一机器人，演技依旧在线（但只因他是汉克斯，于是对大部分影迷而言，只会觉得稀疏平常，正常发挥），情感浓度充足（但剧情属实四平八稳，毫无惊喜）。整体中规中矩，汉克斯保证影片质量的下限，但上限及其有限。唯一打动我的是杜威“死掉”的那一幕。★★★☆
我很喜歡，末日下一位孤獨的老者，一個初生懵懂的機器人，一隻溫柔忠誠的小狗，詮釋出了如此浪漫的信任。
“当你不知道往哪里走的时候，就往西部走。”
之前看预告片三句话就被普通话配音尬出来了（我母语尴尬症太严重了），出了粤语版才看。也不是我菜……不打分了，买飞支持下……
其他几个年度电影里面有的是更应该拿第一的，X瓣这捧X🦶的样子也太明显了吧……无语
1. 画风我很喜欢
2.故事是《黄飞鸿三之狮王争霸》➕《少年黄飞鸿》➕《少林足球》
真好。尤其是后半段。影院即将下线，切勿错过。

汉克斯还是很擅长演这种温情片，哪怕是这种灾难之后看到汉克斯都会觉得有希望。一个中年男人的养娃历程。
末世风景公路家庭情感片。。。观感体验不错，结尾前稍作稍拖沓。高清画质下，摄影很美。人类的下场最终会怎样不太清楚，但正如那句话说的，其实地球不太需要我们保护，因为我们能毁灭的只是自己。
又是一部结局让我哭着看完却没有感到难过的片子。芬奇没有看到金门大桥，但他再次好好感受到了正常阳光晒在身上的感觉。他把狗子成功托孤给Jeff，也把一个看起来还有点希望的世界留给Jeff去探索。老汤的表演无需更多赞扬，永远的稳健可靠。芬奇给Jeff展示在高辐射阳光下爆米花的自娱自乐，是末日下悠然自得的浪漫。

末世风景公路家庭情感片。。。观感体验不错，结尾前稍作稍拖沓。高清画质下，摄影很美。人类的下场最终会怎样不太清楚，但正如那句话说的，其实地球不太需要我们保护，因为我们能毁灭的只是自己。
很舒服也很有深度的末日公路片，从圣路易斯到旧金山，这一路上人类、机器人与动物三者之间的牵绊关系尤为精彩。刚刚被芬奇研发出来的高级智能机器人由于恶劣环境而被迫踏上逃离圣路易斯的道路，芬奇指引着它每一步的成长，从站立到走路，从起名到搜寻物资，有苦恼，也有欢乐。有时让人开怀大笑，也有时让人极度苦恼。机器人杰夫独立意识渐渐增强，却发现芬奇的时日已不多，当芬奇离去后，杰夫像是注入了芬奇的灵魂，与小狗一起到达了目的地金门大桥，完成了芬奇的遗愿。
类型片大杂烩，都是老套路，很难共情，唯一动人的倒是沉默安静的杜威。
「人，狗和机器人」：开头有《火星救援》版《机器人瓦力》之感，后续的观影又联想到《我是传奇》《超能查派》《荒岛求生》等影片…… —— “第四条指令：如果芬奇不在，机器人必须保护小狗。本条指令优先于所有其他指令。” → “你已经可以跟我说出金门大桥上有多少颗铆钉，用了多长的悬索以及桥有多高，但是只有当你站在上面，看到它的美，听到悬索在风中歌唱…这是一种体验，是一种人类的体验，不只是想象，而是生活。” —— 我的泪点：杰夫依靠在芬奇的肩上，芬奇便伸手拥抱了杰夫，以及，随后上演预料之中的“生离死别”剧情……
冲着写实的结尾，多给一颗星。人生总得当一回雄狮，哪怕只有一秒。天台舞狮的段落，太赞了！
和《绿皮书》一样让人恶心的作品。无论是白人对黑人、还是人类对机器人，两部电影里所描绘的浓厚感情不过是源于对方的忠诚和付出罢了。把一个能够产生自己思想情绪甚至梦境的机器人仍然塑造成忠诚、无条件付出和憨厚可爱的像一条狗的形象，只能说明这部电影的导演和编剧对人类身份自视甚高的优越感和过于贫乏的想象力。更遗憾的是，在这部电影里，如此高级的机器人连条狗都不如，他产生和存在的意义，不过是为了一条狗。吐了
和丸子一起看的～熟悉而怀念的岭南风光和湿度色调。前面的搞笑节奏可以再调调，但是感情很真挚。喜欢贯穿全片鼓点表现的气势。
