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.

导演对科技的幻想不够充分，又对人性的美好过于乐观。事实上，没有人会希望自己被“另一个人”彻底取代，甚至连自己的死亡都不在这世上留下任何痕迹。
加长版的某一集黑镜，冗长拖沓了一些。我一直在等两个角色的反转，始终未到，遗憾结束。克隆人的核心价值观探讨也停留在表面，除去一些所谓的新技术的展示，对于这个问题并没有比以前的电影探讨的更深刻。
一个我将永远离你而去 另一个我则一直陪在你身边
大晚上看真的会看哭，克隆人的伦理一直在被讨论，这个电影的角度会让我再次审视家人
聚焦於很小的切口上去展示這頗具顛覆性的設想，不置入太多的批判，只是讓兩個他去互相感知對方。男主內心的糾結與傷感，仿生人害怕被淘汰的恐慌，整個作品的命題，我們活著是為了他人還是自己？ 太棒了。
喜欢Mahershala Ali但这片子节奏有点问题。
极具风格的电影，画面考究，表演精彩，就是性冷淡味道很重，让我联想到《her》和《龙虾》，真不愧是Apple TV上的资源，和谐，男主在我看来，优柔寡断，既然做了选择，就要愿赌服输，搞得人人不得安宁，要么你就啥也别做，在家等死吧，这个设定有很多自相矛盾的地方，不鸡蛋里挑骨头了，说实话看到男主脑袋上两个同步贴片的时候，这不就是买了部新手机嘛？重做完系统再导入数据！爱与亲人又一次伟大！
抛开伦理道德，爱绵长永存。与其说是伦理道德的博弈，不如说是人性与爱的较量。男主的每一个决定，反应，包括克隆人jack的每一个反馈和思想，都是人类内心深处关于自私的人性与爱的衡量。理解卡梅隆即将孤独死去无助愤怒的情绪，也理解jack惶恐，害怕，对未来不确定性表现出的惊恐乞求可怜的眼神。如果未来真的能做到indistinguishable，那么唯爱永生。
上乘科幻片，對人性的思考絲絲入扣，無套路，有真義。
一集黑镜的体量，拍成长片没有增加多少浸入感，只多出了一些或忧郁或沉默的镜头。
画面干净，强迫症的审美，主题深刻，犹如一场宁静的心灵洗涤宴
年度遗珠，无论是本片的质量还是阿里的表演，都堪称2021年为数不多的上乘之选，也凸显了学院奖的固步自封和对科幻题材的偏见。它营造了一个轻未来的世界，用一个身患绝症的人选择克隆出几乎和自己一模一样的人，瞒着不知自己即将死去的家人，继续他的陪伴和存在。本质上，它在探讨了临终关怀的自我和解，忒休斯之船那种自我同一性的困惑，也是一个人选择如何有尊严的死去等等情感面的问题，科幻元素是高概念设定的手段，却并非故事的核心动力和主要卖点，甚至于它更像一碗绝症梗的鸡汤，只是因为那种精致的摄影、颇具轻未来风的艺术设计，和阿里细腻熨帖的表演，有一种沁人心脾的味道。
温情的剧情伦理片，算是为2022开了个好头，当技术已经成熟，克隆所面临的就是情感维系问题，如何能通过副本和母体的认知匹配度测试，影片给了一个可供实现的方案。
克隆人的技术都那么成熟了，为什么不能将本人完全复制粘贴过去呢？只是重新造了一个拥有自己记忆和所有生物特征的人，那这个技术又有什么意义呢？还是不能达到“永生”，只是找了一个自己的替代品，这种事情给人带来的冲击感和孤独感太难让人接受了，就好像让一个机器人或者陌生人来代替自己继续和家人生活一样。影片在伦理和个人情绪的描绘上做的不错。
不以故事和场景迷人，只有细致入微的感情~适合心平气和时慢慢的品味
4. 吃巧克力那段，我也混淆了。
再见你一次
太难过了，大概一个小时之后我就开始一直流泪，在远离城区的地方一个人死去，骨灰洒在大海里，“我”变成自己生活的局外人，流水一般的电影，Ali流水一般的表演，我该如何与自己和深爱的人做最后的告别，我该如何与流水一般的生命告别啊。配乐真好，科幻与哲学的深处都是寂静的，电影对这点把握得很好。
我看见我生命中的往昔
中间真的有很触动得嗲，继承意志，另一个身体和记忆的*我*代替我去爱这个世界我在乎的，真的又破碎又无解，这才是另外的梦。
