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.

会心一笑:-D
想起来总是有些遗憾的吧，毕竟我们曾一起那样憧憬过未来…
以倒叙的形式讲述一场爱情，演员演技也很给力
爱情虽美好，但结局却未必。
最后分开了有了家庭还是想着买个蛋糕
前陣子剛在am把這個樂隊的《世界觀》加進資料庫，今天看完電影順著網易雲找這個樂隊的時候，排在top1的歌曲是那個人推薦給我的漫畫改編的電影，至今他分享給我的電子版漫畫還躺在百度雲未曾被下載過。
3.7 确实 原来的那些人 后来成了片段 在某些时候 稍微想起一些
疫情下女出租车司机与男舞者的爱情。这一对选的不错。
不像《花束》 除了故事看起来相像外 叙述的手法都截然不同 更像《爱情是什么》一点 不过作者通过前任来回忆这个点还挺有意思的
张子枫和吴磊唱《拥抱》的时候，我在怀念已经逝去的青春（《盛夏光年》）。今年最爱的院线之一。
倒叙，那该死的回忆。故事从7/26/2021那天的东京开始，也让我出戏的回忆起了中国代表团那灾难性的一天。
如果你总想去哪里走走，去不知道去哪里，那不妨做个出租车司机吧，让客人决定去哪里，而你只需要朝着目的地前进。可能不够沉下心，知道每个时间的故事推进，但总是迷糊不清晰。对每年那一天，不管晴雨，都坐在和妻子初次相遇的大树下等待的大叔印象深刻。
滑滑梯、拉着手起舞、海洋馆、失败、愤怒、游戏、势均力敌、说不清道不明的互相吸引。前几周oh card抽到的爱原来在说这部电影啊… 那看电影同时在聊天的人会不会就是那个恋人
总的来说，没有特别多感觉，有点平淡，比我的日常生活还平淡。
浪漫文青版《我们无法成为大人》，松居大悟拍爱情片还算中规中矩吧
如果要回想六年间关于同一天的记忆，就像回看用完了的hobo五年本，真的只能稍微想起一些。暧昧不具体，唯一具体的是人。
都是那些说不清道不明的东西吧
#看的不是特别认真，居然是冰淇淋和雨声的导演，完全风格不同，这部很稳，一点不躁，女主真是太可爱，嗓音有股魔力…磁场相同才会互相吸引，分开似乎也是必然的，感觉男主变化也挺大，没想到挺文艺，两人确实少了在一起的可能性吧。
不断倒带的爱情，过去越来越美好，现在便越来越哀愁，就像开头道出的疫情背景，终究是隔阂加深的时代，当成疫情电影看也完全可以。尾崎的演技意外还不错，造型像野人hh，片尾曲也很好听。致敬《地球之夜》，我们贾木许就是最酷的！找永濑正敏来客串也最合适不过
尽管有着相似的故事内核，然而在本片对于生活流敏锐刻画的比较下，《花束》般的日常失真显得多么急躁而缺乏真诚。“稍微想起了一些”本身即意味着一次对于过往的回溯，这一时态以及与之相匹配的叙事手法的选择则大幅帮助影片突破线性时间观的桎梏，进而完成情感的积累与渲染。借由这种回溯，我们也得以重新审视“现在”，正如第一小节所做的那样——大流行病改变的日常与情感剩余的灰烬相伴相随，借由两人的双眼，当下被注视，过往也尽收眼底成为念想。尽管松居的“技巧”在本片中克制稳重很多，但仍然可以看到许多他作品中一以贯之的元素——毕竟他本来就是一位时间流的探索者。
