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.

女主实在太美了，美、智慧、勇敢、真实。女孩子们，要站起来，也要保护自己。
看完之后，觉得可不能让陈思诚、肖央看到这个片，否则就会有《误杀3》了，没准儿还让佟丽娅演。本片以一起人质劫持为导火索，一路揭秘和转折，找出劫匪背后的动机。最终的焦点是同理心，编剧成功玩转了希区柯克的罪孽转移法，对腐败的主流媒体和警察机关进行了精准的打击，展示了印度社会是如何轻视女性问题和心理健康的，虽然有些太过理想主义，但看到最后还是给打了一股强心针。
她挟持了16个孩子但没有伤害过他们 孩子们什么都不知道甚至任何恐慌情绪都没有。她勒索了政府五千万卢布 全捐给了受伤者自己一分没留。她把自己的伤口扯开给世人看 被大家咒骂被误解成抑郁至病的疯狂人士。她要什么？她希望强奸犯可以得到惩罚 她希望那些坏人不要再逍遥法外 她希望可以让全印度的女性能拥有一个安全的生活环境 仅此而已 仅此而已 仅此而已。希望其他国家也能借鉴一下这个意义重大的星期四 不要让提出那么为广大人民着想的途径变得那么极端卑微。
#《星期四》观影tips🚓
影视工作者也在用自己的方式表达
那一瞬间有被震惊到起鸡皮
it's all about justice.
别人把小白当工具，只有你把小白当朋友。对朋友的爱从「待在2m之内」到「你不用待在我2m之内」，从「你要喜欢我」变成「我喜欢你」。把便利贴投射出来点亮的每一个瞬间我都泪目，很俗套的故事，但仍然感动
不是电影不好，但是真的觉得完全不能考虑逻辑，然后故弄玄虚了一整部，直到1小时30分开始涉及女主目的，全是渲染，太拖沓了。 但不排除，这可能是对印度女性很有现实意义的一部作品。
她撕开自己的伤疤，她所做的一切。只是为了让别的女孩不再经历她曾经经历的可怕的不敢跟别人说的深深藏在心里的伤害。
很无聊的电影，20年前韩国电影玩剩下的套路，节奏又慢硬拖到2个小时…当然同韩国一样，无论电影拍的多深刻，现实不会有任何改变
印度电影好像陷入了一种魔咒，就是先有一个价值观，然后去围绕它来编出一个故事，为了凸显价值观而忽略故事的逻辑性和合理性，哪怕是拍成金福南，我觉的都更好一些。
看过之后感觉印度🇮🇳电影🎦也是和韩国🇰🇷电影🎦一样🈶了质的改变更大关注社会题材而不只是盛产负责载歌载舞……二个小时一气呵成的精彩好看过瘾。
装聋作哑的这个世界里，被害者甚至没有喘息的空间。
黨呐喊都聽不到，無動於衷的時候，只能采取極端行動了。之所以極端是因爲是唯一的出路。
拍摄低劣，表演呆板，像anglebaby 一样瞪眼皱眉，人物角色转换生硬，想像韩国一样反射社会问题真不是这样的洋垃圾，女主拿着枪一点也没有威慑力，好像在拿瓶牛奶，你喝啊你喝啊，你怎么不喝？我怼着让你喝……
故事中规中矩，胜在社会价值。有的时候知道这是一种商业类型电影，但不影响它敲响人心～
呃，这个片的观感前后是分裂的。本身期待不高，纯属解闷而看，却有所惊喜。
“这个国家的人装聋作哑，除非你对他们的耳朵大喊大叫，不然他们很方便地选择忽略”…电影终究还是浪漫的…
作为重头戏的谈判对峙阶段还是略显平淡了。另，感觉近些年印度电影的尺度也是越来越开放了。
