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.

爽片拍的不错。3.5吧。以前看电影特别喜欢评论价值观，现在觉得每种价值观都有自己的思考逻辑。从节奏完成度人设已经做的不错的。甘谷白神圣感拍的比较足。 低谷反击至此，可以了。
主角很美，演技也好，构图帧帧绝美，有史诗级那味儿了。
一个十四亿人口的大国必然有十四亿问题但是敢于让人民去探讨去争取权利的只有自由民主的国家才能做到
人人都见识有限，可依然会因此被抨击
没有刻意的去营造一种强大的震慑力，而是用眼神去表达内心的坚韧。也不是正常狗血剧的那种，遇到事情各种帮忙的人都会出现的那种外挂人生。
懂得审时度势 接受现状 利用美貌利用男人 去争取得到自己想要的 就很棒了 真的值得尊重！ 虽然卖淫合法化听起来很不可思议 但是在印度国情下 我还是持支持的 作为一个产业链 维护了男人的尊严 又保护了被强奸的女性（别喷 我知道我国不适用
#抖音五分钟看电影# 我也不想啊！但就是刷到了呀！！
虽然不赞同卖淫合法化，但影片对于人们对妓女的态度的辛辣批评还是很到位的（把去世的尸妓女腿绑起来，因为“男人是不可信的哪怕是一具尸体）。歌舞也很棒，美术在我看过的印度电影中名列前茅（女主抱友人孩子那里让人想起圣母玛利亚）。但最赞的当属女主角的演技，少女时代的天真、陷入爱情时的深色、mafia queen的气场还有发表演讲时的范儿。不过剧情有点地方铺垫不够（比如如何刚被卖到妓院时从绝食求死到决心run this place又如何和另一位妓女建立了友情，什么原因促使她决定为红灯区的4000妓女争取权益等等）。
作为电影 并没有很好看 作为传记 它的意义值得推荐
人物有局限性，但仍然值得歌颂，电影对此没有回避，其实是很好的
只想知道害女主的那个渣男有没有被打死
她算是一个活在当下，接受当下，并作出当下的选择的人吧
最后她站在车子上，车子缓缓开着，旁边都是为她鼓掌为她加油的人，好感动啊。
这部电影必须要放在一定的时代背景下评价，抛开妓女和卖淫天生自带的原罪，女主在恶中开出了花，在一群黑玫瑰中出脱成一朵白莲。很多人纠结她这么快认定了自己的职业，我想在印度，男人一边享受着妓女带来的欢愉，女人一边也鄙视着自己同性的堕落，所以一个女孩一旦沦落风尘是会带着浓重的道德枷锁，无法被原来的家庭接受的。一旦认定了这个事实，女主的发展也就不再拧巴。既然改变不了这种现象，就让她们在最大程度上拥有应得的尊严。其实最后一段演讲多少是令人不适的，因为她的价值观早已超出了我们传统的道德范畴，包括电影里提到的卖淫合法化也让人无所适从，女主的观点有其局限性，但不可否认她在为一群现实存在的女性争取生存空间和权利。如何矛盾地看待甘古拜，也就能辩证地看待每个时代的灰色地带。
就目前来看，这个世界仍是不完美的，人类社会存在许多阴暗面，所以人们的道德层面依旧需要几块遮羞布，如果连遮羞布都不存在了，那与原始人有何异？（关于卖淫合法化的一点看法）而真正消灭娼妓（包括暗娼）乃是天方夜谭，除非人类进入神话里的共产主义社会并且思想灵魂得到极大升华，因为嫖客、妓女、人贩子、老鸨……都是人们内心肉欲与财欲的体现。
女主太帅了，每一段抽烟的眼神太绝了。画面和结构也很美。

这个女权表现的有点过了吧，各种动作都在模仿男人，还有大佬帮忙，表现的过于表面了。但是故事是好的，人物是令人敬佩的。
被卖了一千卢比的女人。我，甘古拜，一个妓女……
我们可以鄙夷印度制度的任何方面，但却不能忽视掉在那个我们看不起的社会里，竟然总会有一些从底层奔涌而出且愿意为普通人的权益奋勇斗争一生的人。
