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.

就這？笑尿了.看來以後豆瓣會出現許多神作了.
这片哪哪都在线，还年轻态。
3.5，哟嚯，能看的，省钱模式的网剧这部还行，也没那么落俗，李庆誉小朋友很灵呀
动作画面都非常棒，剧情太老套了，而且感情戏太多容易出戏的。游戏画面节奏好特别爽，看着很带感。
反派Boss和制片人同名，自嘲自黑的水平很可以。
这部电影最大的价值，是彰显这么一个道理：资本可以把控一群人，但无法精准控制到具体个体的思想行为，没错我说的就是最后那位“光头强”，以及现实网络中出现许许多多个体对抗资本的例子。他们确实没法撬动资本的基石，但能够让它偏离一丁点原定方向，就已经是凡人之躯的巨大成就。
真人版吃鸡拍的还不错，挺热血的，平底锅yyds。
故事本身很80后童话，努力就会有回报、屌丝逆袭、收获第二春，这种现在看来稍微陈旧的叙事显然不太能在主流的影视界里立足，但是借助网大的低姿态和题材的下沉，能精准的投放到自己的受众眼前，不得不说是个很聪明的举动。如今资本为了蹭电竞热度到处恶意消费电竞出了一堆垃圾玩意，这种主创们尊重游戏也尊重自己的游戏经历的电影是让人眼前一亮的清流，值得点赞和鼓励。
不是针对网大，如果每部网大都像这部一样认真，那么中国网络电影会越来越好
u1s1，这部电影的成熟度很高，制作班底也很用心，在灯光滤镜和氛围的处理上都下足了功夫，观感很棒。
3/5，就很nice little的片子，就对电竞没啥基本常识，所以可能没法更多的共情，整体的套路还是挺老套的，但扎扎实实，不错不错！
以为是游戏公司割韭菜的烂片，没想到居然没垮。
开场20分钟我脑子里就只有《少林足球》了，故事无聊的很，优点大概就是跟游戏结合到位而且实拍效果还不错吧。虽然我这个非游戏玩家也不太能get到……最后那个平底锅还挺有意思，肖太阳眼睛可真大啊。
主要蹭了游戏热度，实际一般般，可以比作电视剧穿越火线删减版
最后的青岛话hin亲切。来啊最后一搏啊谁怕谁啊！最后掏出平底锅还挺激情想哭的呢。每次看这种电影电视剧就想重新下载游戏打起来…
游戏又被污名为精神鸦片的今天，一部完全按体育励志片做的电竞网大成了破圈爆款，戏里戏外力量充沛。拍竞技比赛必须要考虑比赛项目本身的观赏性是否具备转化为电影语言戏剧性的条件，大逃杀游戏比之前的电竞游戏新的地方在于规则简单、风格写实、节奏畅快、代入感强，导演也抓住了这些特点，充分利用视听模糊掉角色和游戏角色的边界展现游戏场面，功夫都到位了。主线始终宣扬公平公正精神，用资本权力作弊的反派提前退场，高潮落在两个坚持本心的小人物用尊严堆出的公平对决上，平底锅打出的热血格外滚烫。亲情部分处理得有些乏味拖沓，且过多地抢了主线展现空间。刻板印象出场的配角们里安排了一个爱上男主又事了拂衣去的年轻女孩，对决反派那场直接用惊悚片拍法做反转脱离视听规则，明星、夜店等猎奇展示证明其仍没脱离网大的属性。
满满的全是游戏元素，夹着父子情深，有看头。让我这很久不玩吃鸡的手残党，也都有想再玩的冲动了，哈哈。前职业赛手，和职业主播在游戏里遇到了，并且1打4赢了主播，主播的话挺正，这是正常的，这不就是游戏嘛。可是下了播，却怀恨在心了。男主同样在直播，只是可怜的只有不到30个观众。你爸爸抠着脚，是个娇滴滴的小美女，大佬贤倒是扮女的骗打赏，哈哈。推荐。最后结局大圆满，他在队友们的帮助下赢得了冠军，拿到了奖金，可是学区房，涨价了，涨了200万，哈哈。
在祖国上下在在把网游当做青少年的“精神鸦片”的浪潮下，居然在2021年8月6号诞生了一部吹响最嘹亮冲锋号的国产电竞题材电影！
这个必须鼓励鼓励，网大居然拍出院线电影的质感，没有乱七八糟的假大空，框架是游戏竞技，情感向是家庭责任的血与肉，简单的故事不说教不泛滥，利用现实串起竞技赛赢得奖金的必要铺垫，画面转场和剪辑步调都十分有水准，摆脱了网大电影给人的糊弄感和穷酸相，虽然也不是特别高的投资注入，但导演用有限的资源深刻还原了吃鸡战场的生死狙击以及标志特色，让我这个游戏门外汉看的都有一丝热血沸腾，几个画面还妥妥致敬了经典电影的场景，不得不说导演深谙吃鸡游戏的内里精髓，也对电影怀抱梦想且能力不俗，希望这次的作品效应，下一步能有人慧眼赏识，早日拍出电影人梦寐以求的真正意义上的院线片，可以期待下这两位导演！★★★☆
