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.

温暖小清新式末日公路片，个人很喜欢，以及，Jeff可真是个可爱懂事能担起家庭重担的二胎呀。
你们想多了的同时想少了 ：） 这片就是讲了一个人工智能特温暖，完成了一个孤独的人类所期望的一切的故事。没讲啥道理，就是个洗脑片，让让大众从情感上放下对AI的恐惧，甚至产生好感。完美切合了当下人类缺乏互信的孤独，和对可信懒不还嘴伴侣的需求。
公路+科幻+环保，片子虽然有些教育意义，但实在太闷了。只有男主和机器人Jeff喋喋不休的唠叨，几乎没啥情节。人类是不可信的，没有希望的，只有机器人和小宠物才是未来的主人？
#豆瓣评论不可靠系列#好看，前面情节是推进慢，但是不无聊。从机器人视角出发 介绍世界观，让观众和机器人一起成长。本质上是个父子情的片子。桃子罐头还是小技巧，后面扔球的戏非常好，编剧厉害。情绪很足。汉克斯演的有多好呢 就是也看不出炫技 但是不知不觉已经把你的心俘获了
末日科幻公路片，本片中的杰夫让我想起了Marv1s，那份细腻和温情，人类的情感在机器人身上得到了延续，而新的生命才刚刚开始……
一个四不像，十几年前的WALLE都能在一个让人萌爆的机器人设定上碾压，I am Legend虽然颠覆了原著思维，但末世孤胆英雄+一条狗的故事双重碾压Finch，公路片？你是基丁吗？Jeff凭什么诞生，不解释；太阳爆发能破坏臭氧层是相当严重的，不仅是紫外线和通讯失效而已，全世界如何，不解释；连Finch是个什么样的人都没解释清楚，不愿go to the world和不合群不信任人是两件没关系的事，如何能从他的几次讲故事里拼出他这个人？好吧，我想多了，看了一眼imdb和mc，这就是个普通中等制作，根本没想把故事往有科幻完整设定的路上去走。。。但就是，何德何能在豆瓣拿到8.4然后把我骗进来啊。。。
看多了人与人的感情之后
絕望崩潰的世界，人性是通往希望的唯一道路。
电影里有我敬佩的美国演员 、喜欢的小动物、通人性的机器人……还需要什么呢？看就完事了
其实……依然有网大内容撑不起来的毛病，这个概念总觉得没讲好
当人类灭亡时，当人工智能变成人类时，当狗知道人工智能就是人类时。
独角戏，没有cast out感人，那个排球真的落泪了
trust是什么，逝去的人们不懂，成了留给机器人和狗的课题。小狗演员Seamus真可爱，据说是爱尔兰㹴混血
2021年新片，电影分享会转存迅雷云盘后观看。世界末日，一个人、一只狗和为了照顾狗狗而设计的智能机器人之间建立信任的故事。世界末日终会降临，就像人终将会有一死，世界或人类的毁灭可有多种方式，如同人会有很多种死法一样。从科幻的角度来说，智能机器人具有人类的思维和感情也许是科幻，电影中描述的世界末日更像是必然的结果。
整体相当的平庸无趣，全是套子活儿，没提供一丝惊喜，给三星纯粹是给汤姆汉克斯一个面子。
观感如何主要取决于对其的类型期待，毕竟把机器人换成一个偶遇的小孩效果也是一样的。2.5
后太阳耀斑爆发时代中产阶级老白男对昔日生活方式的坚守，大概是影片最大的温柔杀器，可惜对我完全无效。碰上这种大劫，中国人早忙着挖地洞种蘑菇去了吧，人家依然开着房车到处打劫超市影院小卖部，搜罗狗罐头只为供养家里那只狗爹。不就是这种生活方式把臭氧层捅成个“瑞士奶酪”的吗？全片毫无自省，真让人啼笑皆非。“信任”的主题最后落到了机器和狗身上，意思就是听话的东西比人可靠呗，说到底爱的还是自己。结局挺好的：没有这种人，地球照样转。ps.我对汉克斯的表演没意见。
—9.0分。
3.8分 最后机器人的口音越来越像人类，道德文明陨落的时候，他变成了人，理解了人
很遗憾，看多了给机器人赋予人类感情的片子，十足反感，撕扯的是人类，所有温情赋予狗和机器人，还不虚伪么，真的，这么残忍的末日桥段，人吃人都很正常， 会让狗活着？机器人能奴役，还平等对待干嘛? 这样所有的温情都显得苍白无力。人类之间互相厮杀，属于人类的情感留给动物和机器人，这样的主旨无法认同。
