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.

现在的小孩真的好幸福，动画电影做这么棒真的很好，很舒服。
2022年1月30日，第一次带小孩去看的，纪念一下我儿子后面睡觉关灯每次叫我讲一遍，他知道情节，印象深刻。
肯尼斯·布拉纳，一个庸俗/确有才气/沉迷摄影教材/醉心奇技淫巧/为自己中产以上的无趣童年涂脂抹粉/的自恋狂。
一个少年眼里的贝尔法斯特街区故事。面对宗教冲突和暴行，孩子眼里的街头暴行，社区交往，校园初恋，父母爱情，家庭教育。让观众看到善良正直的一家人和贝尔法斯特60年代的生活环境。
肯尼爵太努力了，无论炫技还是塞梗，然而…meh… 【而且主题真是讲跑路吗？第一世界的人民投胎好，跑路好轻松
Black and White, yet more powerful.
7.2 有点像《乔乔的异想世界》也有点像《元首的粉兔子》但没有这两者好。在宗教矛盾下一个街道中的96号家庭的命运，是留守还是离开，聚焦点不准，情绪太散，过度全部用音乐简单的处理，显得稚嫩而单一。但巴比真的很可爱，音乐也很好听。
狗狗问莱德我们怎么有那么多经费升级装备，莱德说因为有很多人喜欢我们，买我们的周边直接给我整笑了。阿奇克服心理障碍，重获勇气的过程当晚就活学活用来激励邓小姐跳舞，我真是个老机灵鬼。电影制作确实比平时要精良些，天气控制器吸乌云的创意不错，就是展示装备的过程还是太长了，像玩具广告。邓小姐在电影院里面一如既往地安静乖巧认真，让人期待下一场电影。最后用主题曲洗下脑：超级飞侠，超级飞侠～🐕🐩🦮
一上映就带孩子去看了，反正孩子看得很开心，说还想看
带着成见开始（I was like：要这么明显地吃别人嚼剩下的东西吗？），但渐渐地还是被打动了。是离开了的人的回望，虽然为了铺陈想要囊括的元素（社会背景、家庭关系、情窦初开、对电影和舞台的启蒙……）有难以避免的设计感，但情感还是极为真挚的。有一些写得很好的台词，表演也很优秀。
用我无感的手法在我无感的地方拍了一个我无感的年代里一个我无感的故事-11/19/21 at AMC Garden State Plaza 16
音乐很不错，剧情是成长向的，没有特别低幼。一堆装备出动的时候居然还挺燃的😂
好浪漫的回忆电影啊～ 很适合lockdown的上海人民，至少暂时治愈了我。
私人视角的——或是过于私人视角的——高级包装下的平价货；电影与戏剧出现时的彩色画面能看出布拉纳心底的温暖。
从黑白到彩色，从彩色到黑白；人们走走停停，生死迁移。城市，却永远驻留这里；怀念好的，也铭记坏的。与《罗马》同根同源的“个人史”，人性美成长教育再到表演交锋…示范高分作文怎么写的意识虽规整，但也在方向选择上略微陈腐。好在Jude Hil的表演才是给电影带来新鲜东西的关键，从首幕开始，任凭共演有多少成熟经验的演员或早已封神的国宝，都移不开对他的关注。
以及,真实的部分黑白,戏剧电影电视剧彩色？有必要吗?有点做作耶。
唉，如今和豆瓣品味有差异了。挺喜欢的。我自己都想写这样的本子。
3.5 私人流水账，从开篇俯拍城市就有种怪异的质感。虽然是以孩子的视角出发，落点散乱可以理解，但是从私人纪事来说，人物设定又太过刻板。后半段有几个比较可爱的笑点。
异乡人关于童年的吉光片羽，不高级却有真挚的况味。
笑死我了，全程都在“这是儿童片不要认真不要认真”“哇人不如狗系列”里来回切换。这不比国产烂片香哈哈哈哈哈
