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.

我一直想 唐顿庄园为什么总能让我感动呢？
这里是主要角色聚集的地方，可以说是重要的一个转折点，所以这次的鬼并没有特别难打，但还是蛮有特色的， 依然好看。
是谁想出来的，把剧场版分成TV版，然后再把TV版合成剧场版，玩呢？
第一部就觉得有些无聊 第二部也就平平无奇不知道为什么评分这么高
目前为止最喜欢的一个主题
这一集就还蛮……崩的。
看到这些人的时候，记忆还是能回来，虽然十分陈旧。可惜物是人非，故事已经不是原来的故事了。唐顿的热闹，只是电影里的热闹，和拍电影人的热闹。老太太走了，让人一通好哭。
觉得没有第一部好看，更没有原剧好看，期待大失望也有点大，但总体来说还是很不错了，想给个3.5。
好看好看好看好看好看好看好看好看好看好看好看好看好看好看
Screen 2 Odeon Covent Garden｜时代的落幕。依然惊诧于编剧们的创作力，从有声电影的角度切入，又点缀些老太太在南法的暧昧往事，浪漫、艺术又端庄。婚礼和葬礼转合，死亡和新生交织，主题曲响起，我还是2010年正在读高中的学生，也想不到从此我就和英国有了那么多牵绊。
8/10.
老太太早在电视剧完结的时候就采访说唐顿庄园毁了她的生活，她都没法独自出门。再演下去这角色就110岁了，没什么意思，自己也从没看过唐顿庄园。
"Stop the noise--I can't hear myself die."
老爷：我爸爸绿了？哦，没有。我老婆没了？哦，没有。妈妈！！！讲真的，大表哥当你为了迪士尼的美女与野兽放弃这个千年IP，真是太可惜了。
岁月在每个人的脸庞和两鬓都留下了痕迹，无论是剧中人亦或是看剧的人。从头至尾，眼眶随着插曲的起伏而湿润，甚至有几处观看视线无法对焦的泪眼朦胧。对岁月人生的感慨，对人物情感的感触，对唐顿庄园里人们的那份优雅感动。
“你太吵了，我听不到我死去的声音了”
兩條故事線都頗有意味：其一是經過兩代人的爭論，電影工業最終憑藉經濟的原由進入莊園後，給唐頓帶來的種種摩擦和改變，特別是莊園大小姐Mary為出身下層的女明星配音，令唐頓以標準的英倫腔形式在大眾文化中留聲；其二則是一樁六十年後方才顯影的現實愛情戲：老夫人意外繼承的法國南部別墅，有著迥異於唐頓的風光、天氣和建築風格，它所引發的遺產和血緣的雙重迷案，也帶來了對於唐頓代表的老上流社會的秩序和體面的惘惘威脅。在電影形式層面，兩線的交叉略顯生硬，令全片更似是兩集電視劇的拼貼；但在主題的層面，這戲裏戲外的兩條線，都意味著一種新興的大眾文化時代的到來，唐頓莊園的貴族們必須在這一“全新世代”（A New Era）的形勢中走向未來。2022年5月28日20:00於永漢電影院3號廳。
三星纯感情分，其实和电视剧没区别，为了熬出点电影感，硬是把一条主线安排成拍摄有声电影，大小姐居然成了英国的有村架纯😅 既然大部分演员都还健在，不如继续拍电视剧吧。
戏服与生活
BD：2021.12.19：TV版动画11-14集的合辑篇，以为是剧场版；有点上当的感觉，
