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.

如果没有续集的话 那这部电影整个感觉是没有灵魂的动作戏，也没有想象中那么多的action scene，有点不知所谓
看来管事的是迈克尔基顿的粉丝啊 可他年轻的时候也不会选择参演啊 女杀手都爱穿紧身衣是有科学道理的 叨逼侠是怎么想的 为啥要炸死自己？
故事很普通，剧情槽点太多，装逼铺垫过多，动作戏还行但是说不上精彩，赤裸特工和史密斯夫妇的痕迹挺多。
打着架突然就上床了……女杀手智商也不咋的，这死的人是不是养父也看不出来？
这可不就是尼基塔吗，连尼基塔的男朋友都还叫做迈克尔，整部片根本就没有剧情，还浪费了迈克尔基顿和mother fucker 这么好的演员。也就李美琪和迈克尔基顿的对手戏有一点意思，而迈克尔基顿演这角色太老了。
总体还可以，但我个人感觉东西方文化差异还是应该表现一下的，否则就显得有点生硬的所谓酷。
枪战戏很多，也有一些意想不到的转折。
以前007没有这帮JW班底的时候，坎贝尔也拍的很暴力，在故事上也一股凶猛的气势。现在有了这班底之后，拍的更有味道了。不过，动作都还是太动作了；每个人都拿着一样的道具敲人、打的都是一样的拳术，没什么角色的个人特色。
《尼基塔之我带了俩影帝去恰饭》
打架就好好打！ 别整没用的我可求求了！ 导演，女主的童年扮演者，你是换了好几个吗！ 跟女主一点都不像。真服了。最后童年开杀那一段，简直玄幻片吧？
安娜，凯特，红雀，同类型的几部，还是凯特节奏更快，这部门徒看到最后还没弄明白为啥要杀最后的boss
有些电影就是看了就看了，不知道说什么好，可能是看了个寂寞吧。
挺合格的爆米花，古往今来对女杀手的刻画无非是那一套，家破人亡，被人收留，复仇成长。越南的景色很美，反派甚至死得不明不白，如果车上代替他被炸飞的是他儿子还能勉强有点看头。但是姐姐真的好美，long live Nikita！
观感很糟糕，基本没有比较赤激的段落，豪华阵容一点儿用都没有，这不合理。🙄
精彩 任务魅力逼人 动作场景干净凶狠 音效尤其富有冲击力
这剧情也太对不起这cast了吧……Maggie Q的演技怎么好像弱了……
过时与复古之间是当有一条清晰的界线的，在此基础上去探讨所谓西方后殖民时代的创伤与反思只能是彻底的牵强。
对白有点腔调，打戏也不错。美女配来男人有点不适啊
所以Samuel L Jackson演的角色到底要假死幾次？
如果想看李美琪的大长腿那就来吧，要是想看脸那还是算了吧，杰克逊那浮夸的表情真招人烦，剧情就是一坨翔！
