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.

司机好帅好帅好帅，剧本好无聊无聊无聊无聊，哪怕盯着司机的脸2小时对我来说也是折磨。雷迪嘎嘎女士能不能别再演这种爽文角色了…
刚出炉的2022奥斯卡提名作为部商业片它提不上？吊打绝大多数
All for Pacino. 他让我心痛。
偶现灵光，但瑜不掩瑕的作品。如bra扣错、父母不反对只是希望不要影响体制下的补助、球场吻戏等等都是还蛮有巧思的真实细节桥段，版权优势也能拿到《蓝宇》的经典片段用来背书，还有杨二汶主题曲助力，但可惜情感只有最后20min左右是连贯且渲染成功的，其余有太多是想当然且不真挚的交差作业，也蛮可惜谈善言，结局镜子戏恍惚感觉像看到陈冲光华重现。就“回到往日时光，确认彼此回忆是否定义一致”本身就是一个共通性很强的主题，即使在令人狂皱眉头的前一个半小时之后还能让人共情，就这点而言还算是学到了（？）。2.5归3。
现在的同性青春片啊，为了爱情弄得翻天覆地撕心裂肺互相折磨，着实让观众很难引起共鸣，细腻朦胧美不好吗。这两个演员的面相也不适合演高中生。
小清新电影，两个女生从青涩高中时代的互生情愫，到社会后依然彼此相爱的故事！导演镜头感和渲染力很强，透着一股恬静般的忧伤！爱情永远是电影恒久的主题，用在女生之恋上亦叫人感动，虽然剧情很普通，但两位女主的演绎却很深情！片尾婚礼的场景，浪漫，感动又不免有些惋惜，哀伤！“只要你喜欢我，我喜欢你，没有了世界又如何？”
作为一个自传式电影，我觉得拍的还不错啊。本来就是一段描述历史的事情，你想要什么超现实的超前观念呢？摊上这么一个文化惯性巨大的环境，也不到导演的错啊。但现实其实也没有这么古板，离婚率这么高，一方结婚也不见得就是真ending，40代离婚再复合不行吗？与时俱进嘛：）有趣的是，双方家长和社会路人其实并无过多阻挠（写检讨又怎么样呢？阳奉阴违也不是不行嘛），最终结果完全取决于女主们的态度。大抵当着全校的面在雨中激吻就已经花光了女二的所有勇气，不过理想主义的放弃最主要还是因为贫穷吧：嫁给中年肥男，好比电影专业转了会计。
直女挠头！前半段还挺清新，后半段一泻千里迷惑操作，好端端为啥要顶着全校目光雨狂吻，为啥要因为检讨生气玩消失，也不给人解释机会，重逢后又说自己有男朋友了，后面明明说30岁就结婚，却又说别再见了，深井冰一样，最后结婚真是莫名其妙，喜欢人家让人家过来当伴娘，还深情看着伴娘说我愿意，姬片新郎是没人权了是吗？
纸醉金迷的奢靡上流生活，古驰家族的兴衰历史。
更像是一部主角的自述，电影感反而没那么强。最令人诟病的几处其实也是最真实的几处：爸爸们之间的谈话、“最好的朋友”、三十岁结婚的约定在二十九岁打破……也许现在东亚女性之间能展现出的爱更多的就像是那个耳饰硬插进没有耳洞的耳垂，虽然经历过操场间拥吻的勇敢无畏，但最后还是回归“我盛装出席参加你的婚礼，你和别人的婚礼。”哎，那是爱情啊，你们都知道的不是吗？
我的重点不对，咏蓝从美术老师那一盒子情书里翻找出自己的那一封时，我真的笑到拍桌。
雷德利斯科特真的在养老了。拍这些废话一大堆而且没什么张力的故事。拜托，谁想看古驰的家长里短?我要看斗争！黑帮！勾心斗角！别搞这些又臭又长的腐朽电影给我看谢谢！
比蝴蝶更纯爱一些，很喜欢在学校不顾一切在雨中kiss的那一段，真的很浪漫。喜欢短发的女生，长发的有点像朱朱，爱屋及乌了。故事的开头都是很甜蜜的，但是两个人在一起确实要克服很多东西。不过只有一个人在意的感情很难走下去。而且再伟大都很难跟自己爱的人做好朋友，除非放下了。而且不明白为什么非要找个男的结婚，香港已经很开放了也可以去国外结婚。这样结婚之后也很难幸福。还是看主观能动性吧，如果是真爱就能冲破一切。经过这一段，我觉得长久的快乐还是得靠自己，靠另一个人，靠感情给都太难了。可能最近比较有感悟吧。
徒劳无功 怎么hk拍《叔叔》就可以婚后再约 拍这种就纯纯恋爱 女校中学都是犯错 最后还是要嫁人 女同也可以骗婚！也骗姬！
如果不是老雷子和帕西诺，我是绝对不会看Gaga的片子的，每一帧都让我生理不适。
以流水账形式记录豪门秘辛，以过家家形式还原家族内斗，精彩指数还不如上晋江随便找本宅斗文。
稀碎，这不是能成为密友大概总带着爱，这是谁说旧情人变不到老友😓
维基百科可比这好看多了……但高领毛衣版司机赛高！
最戳我的场景是她俩一起看蓝宇，没有画面，蓝宇说的是“你可能不知道，我是真的喜欢你”
