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.

去取日志 忘留字条 和北极熊多次相遇的细节
非常沉闷的电影，老练的船长生死关头的心理素质还不如菜鸟机工
真羡慕丹麦人，连荒岛余生都是简单模式。他们有两个人，有用不完的燃料吃不完的食物，甚至还有个安全屋，在北极生活八百多天俩人的胡子都没有丝毫变化，心理上最大的危机是幻想出来一出三角恋，最后被契而不舍的救援队救了。PS：结局处有大船的彩蛋。
无论同性恋还是异性恋，这个剧情都有点太模式化了呢
没看直接评：A pile ccs keep twittering😑
同样改编自《傲慢与偏见》，比《秋天之前》好一些。屌丝gay与精英gay在火烧岛的相遇，很吵很抓马，很多熟面孔，很多肉体，主角还是难得的亚裔，但是看完后感觉是不痛不痒的快餐电影，有点点失望和无聊。Bowen的角色有点过于nerd了，Conrad身材比《逍遥法外》里壮了很多，Zane颜肉俱佳本片亮点！
不管是故事，攝影，都想給滿分。只是一百多年前過於殘酷，那麼可愛的狗狗，先是交通工具，之後變成飼料，最後淪為食物…有生之年，我想去北歐，想去格林蘭島，想親眼看看北極的冰。女主演過姬劇，Stella，好好看的。哈哈哈哈
cliche又怎么样呢，文学nerd不能站起来吗！！！呃，我觉得现在的语境反而扼杀了很多本质主义的东西，或许也是多元化导致的？似乎两者总有一些冲突。不同和相同总是矛盾和统一的综合体……
lgbt内容里很新的题材，在hulu完整看完。两个亚裔男在七天fireisland收获爱情的故事。
【冰岛】《权力的游戏》后，Nikolaj Coster-Waldau个人极具热忱的项目；和Joe Cole搭档，完成了一个很完整与值得了解的求生故事，两个人的表演都很出彩。但相较于同背景题材的《北海鲸梦》，或是《极地恶灵》- -那种着力从更大范围捕捉地理区域所渲染的感觉（无论是恐怖、危险、未知、多变…），这里总让人对成品有一丝丝“假”的印象：是老友两人突然策划的远行，更或是档行脚类节目？既像拍摄考量上的不当，也算疏于细节调控的缺憾。北极熊就是败笔其一，这种不适可能直到最后关于泰坦尼克号那个不着调的幽默、或是真实照片的插入才得到缓解。
有一两段cut还挺可爱
Conrad Ricamora居然top起来了哈哈哈哈哈哈哈//姐妹帮里总有一个mama bee给大家忙前忙后收拾烂摊子（sigh//整体看下来平平淡淡，就是太多hot body看不过来
虽然这真的很典同但是我还是真的不怎么喜欢，因为老实说一个多小时里本来有这么多鲜活肉体的，结果愣是没有拍一点床戏我真的会觉得你们这群演员胆子还不够大还不知道要为我们这些观众做出一些合理的牺牲。并且故事虽然是跟Jane Austen的傲慢与偏见很相似并且致敬了很多镜头，但是实际上改编出来的效果有些一般，没有我预料的那么好；但是已经很不错了，毕竟是借用的Austen的原著，要知道她可是两百年前就把言情小说里面的故事情节和人设给分析透彻了的人，肯定是不会差的。但是还是蛮有趣的毕竟里面还有很多典同才知道的一些梗和流行因素，但是若是里面有布什老奶的歌就更好了
或许现世真的没有这样的剧情，但谁不向往美好呢
电视剧质感。我能接受“因为是拍给LGBTQ特定群体看的电影，所以成片是这种叽叽喳喳咕咕咕的质感”，但既然是拍给基佬们看的，就不要编这种在纽约完全不可能发生的事，两条感情线都假到不能再假了，强行喂这种鸡汤来遮掩亚裔受到的歧视让人反胃。
有snl的杨博文我才特意去看的，没想到剧情这么无聊，人物这么扁平化，两星还是看在它名字上加的，属于你一眼看到开头就能知道结局的标准老式喜剧大团圆结局，但是又很无聊😔
性多数性少数人类最后无非都想有个水龙敬乐园🙄️
he deserve it
很欢乐的同志电影，www我也好想有个威尔一样的对象www
