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.

两个小时的电影，前面一小时十五分钟都是很平淡的剧情，后面只有半个多小时推理，而且推理很无厘头，更像是猜想，因为没有足够的证据去支撑。最大的一个bug：女二假装射击软饭男，连墙上或者家具有没有枪击的痕迹都没提到，这就推理出假枪击，真的无语，都是乱来的。
比东方快车的翻拍，多那么一点看头。加朵作为人人得而诛之的受害者，没演出坏来。黑人姐姐很会撩，但跟波罗毫无化学反应。劝导演早日悔改，不再自恋，不要再继续翻拍了
阅读过阿加莎的小说，但是这本没有看，旧版也没看，就这部电影来说，算是一个比较工整的作品，观影过程很类似于看阿加莎小说的感觉，波澜不惊的叙述，接着持续不断的重磅炸弹，感觉一些地方挺符合我所脑补的阿加莎小说的状态的。提取出反婚恋，反pua的价值观放在当今还是有意义的，影片中lesbian的感情线也被完整保留，还挺意外的。盖尔加朵撑得起这个角色，很美。艾米汉莫在call me by your name后第一次看他的戏，颜值居然下跌如此严重。＃2022院线电影10，评分:7.0/10。
以前因为觉得加朵长得好看口音性感还算是个路人粉，现在全毁了，大屏幕（投影仪而已，都不是电影院）里看她演技是所有女性里最烂的，再加上各种浮夸的male gaze 特写，尴尬癌都犯了。肯尼斯自导自演的时候真的太差劲了，不知道加了什么滤镜，拍得他的眼睛特别蓝，一个破案的片你那么突出侦探的眼睛干啥啊……自恋狂，HP的Lockhart一定是本色出演才演得那么好。
很经典的剧本而且百拍不厌。就是不能跟老版相提并论。波罗的演员每次都要自导自演那口法语式英文听的好别扭。惊艳的还是linnett果然不是谁都能当神奇女侠的。jackie再也不神经质了反而无时不卖弄。simon就是无存在感的透明额。
全片就开头的舞蹈有点意思，破案简直无聊至极
怀疑就是全部卡司加编剧导演等人想公费集体去埃及豪华游一趟而已，除了埃及美景，实在是没有任何可取之处了
看原著前不要看！！！除了关键诡计基本都被魔改得毫无气质可言。Simon选角太失败了，好难看好脏，汗味突破屏幕了，完全不“孩子气”。演热烈的爱情跟演porn是两码事。GalGadot毫无新意，EmmaMackey小惊艳但戏份少。最后一幕原著是浪漫且决绝，电影是仓促而狼狈。少了原著那些细腻的情感表达和缜密的逻辑推理，只剩下埃及神秘瑰丽的视听影像：风筝在金字塔边缘飞舞，巨石自神庙轰然落下，尼罗河水悠悠向天边铺陈。
前排提醒，不要跟家长一起看。自认为听力ok还是败在菠萝语速极快的法式英语里，如果不是看过原作我估计看完了还在迷惑怎么一回事。怪不好评价的，一方面镜头好看，尼罗河空镜多得我以为在看张艺谋，游船的玻璃窗和豪华甲板美上天了，但整部电影总有点华而不实的感觉，首先是开头十多分钟的菠萝往事，可能导演是在给整个系列铺路，但是这部片子是格格不入，尤其是那个巨大的创面怎么就能愈合到几乎看不出了？有这么好的药能不能分点给隔壁魅影。再者就是导演只是单纯把整个故事又用更现代的技术拍了一遍，画质和道具特效更精良了，可内容呢？甚至不如前作，画蛇添足似的加了富家子的死，软饭男的“right now”就快把我是凶手写在脸上了，阿加莎的作品难道不是直到菠萝解开谜题的那一刻才让观众惊觉原来如此吗？肯尼斯请你乖乖回去演戏吧。
罗马Space，比东方快车好看，也是交通不畅状况频发的情人节啊。
前两个故事算渐入佳境的话，后两个故事就是急转直下，尤其是机器人大战，又臭又长，恐怖分子那个也够混乱的，还好草草收场，篇幅不长，
最喜欢机械改造人的故事 这个导演拍的yd邪教也是最印象深刻味道最正的 总体中规中矩不够惊艳 串联感不强
太无聊了！和同导演前几年的《东方快车谋杀案》一脉相承。一部能把半个影院的观众都快看睡着的“悬疑”作品，只有美景和美女值得一看。85分的原作，80分的卡司，70分平均演技，最后变成50分的作品。求求肯导放过阿婆的作品吧。
3星 整体节奏很拖沓 差不多电影进程一半了才有第一桩凶案 然而破案过程却如此简单 嫌疑人没怎么挣扎就认罪自裁
肯爵糟蹋阿婆第二弹之烂竟然超出我意料之外 我想阿婆泉下有知应会爬起来给肯爵和编剧一人一勺的士的宁 肯爵得有多自恋在开头就给自己版本的波洛加一段一战比利时大兵炸桥戏 把原著5英尺4英寸不爱动的蛋头整成动作范儿 剧情改编也是一塌糊涂 角色合并的删改的一通乱搞——东方快车没糟践那么厉害可能因为动不了陪审团十二人设定 而且尼罗河竟然PC到各色族裔和拉拉都出来了 吐槽无力 PS 神奇女侠完全暴露了演技无力 雷公作为制片人继续赔本
登船后西蒙崩开香槟，身边的几个法国人不约而同地说：开香槟的声音不这样。
比东方快车的翻拍，多那么一点看头。加朵作为人人得而诛之的受害者，没演出坏来。黑人姐姐很会撩，但跟波罗毫无化学反应。劝导演早日悔改，不再自恋，不要再继续翻拍了
阿婆的故事即使情节烂熟于心，还是每次从头看到尾。感谢摄影技术的进步，美丽的尼罗河风光。人物及设定有改，也加了新的迎合时代的情节和表现形式，但是主线和内核没有变化。前后两部看下来，还挺喜欢这个版本的波洛，虽然最后给他安排的些许感情戏份有点…，也算是一种创新吧哈哈。
摄影真的棒，但前面铺垫也真的好无聊！一战揭秘男主身世那段虽然不算长，但也是拖节奏的。凶手是真的没惊喜（因为其他人比起这俩动机真的弱爆了），而且布克中枪后，汉莫完全没有下意识躲避怕伤到自己，其实这里已经暴露的很明显了。来豆瓣写短评的时候才发现女二原来不是玛格特罗比啊，你俩也太像了！导演能力确实有限，对《贝尔法斯特》更加不期待了。
到点了，侦探可以说真相了，至于怎么推理出来的，你不用管
