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.

在今年看会很开心的老套温情电影哎！“他终于可以利用自己的天赋和人沟通了”😢
好久没有看到这样老套充满人情味的故事了，结合疫情背景下更显得珍贵，生活中有比钱和赢更重要的东西值得守护。
如果不是毒师宇宙脑残粉，本片可以跳过。彩票版“老头子做事总不会错”，夫妇之同心完胜毒师CP离心离德呀。杰瑞和老白一样，有点异于常人的数理化本领，电影篇幅有限，算法不展开了，看不懂就领会精神好了——美其名曰“找到自己擅长的方式与人沟通“(不小心跑偏的话，就是老白的情况：本人擅长犯罪)。另外，便利店掌柜的是《极品老妈》后期邦妮的心理医生，人设也是被离婚，算是角色联动自我调侃吗？
爱情不随着年龄增长而衰退，简直是成年人的童话了
本中国人在看电影过程中一直心惊胆战怕暴雷怕全族受骗怕不幸发生，没想到全片没有恶人，最后是个sweet happy ending.感谢电影让我了解，世界还是有简单温暖幸运on progress.
在最先进的国家你永远永远永远不可能钻当权者的空子，除非你是当权者
2.真实事件，我总愿意以恶人之心去揣测，so，换个角度，春秋笔法，也是故事的厉害之处。
皮克斯原来一贯秉承的概念➕娱乐，现在只剩下了娱乐，而在这个漫威帝国时代，所有ip都被“宇宙”所限制住了，本可以在玩具总动员的现实世界中发生更多故事连接，却陷入了将故事既不大胆又无创新的“垒积木”中，直接把这段本应有趣的故事限定在了“巴斯电影”里，巴斯飞向了宇宙，但宇宙在这里并没有无垠。
名校學生裡多的是自私之流 看的人想暴揍他一頓
比较喜欢前半部电影 后半部彩票知识匮乏有点看不懂
#Cinemania2021# 不知道为什么，观影过程中禁不住和The Worst Person In the World反复比较，再次确认女性导演approach类似的议题时果然态度和视角要自洽的多。Anaïs 的care-free mentality是这个时代最理想的urban feminist状态，几套look也很好capture了那个夏天的魅力。本来以为只是夏日的fling（Valeria Bruni-Tedeschi的气质太好了），没想到最后热情又被再次点燃，即使我们知道夏日总会过去，但那想要触到却又收回的动作和亲吻时微微闭上的眼眸却永远不会说谎。
玩具总动员那般上乘的制作，剧情简单易懂但细究依然有深度。
可能之前看了不少负面评价，期待不高反而觉得也还好，是一部合格的迪士尼和不够合格的皮克斯。四年换一身制服，猫很烦，但有用。3.5
烂 皮克斯现在就这俩下本领了吗 毫无高潮的剧情张力 角色印象僵硬 毫无特色 五要是还是这种水平趁早砍掉续集计划 永远把观众属于玩具的回忆留在第四部
期待值很低，所以感觉是合格线上的产品～点缀的搞笑点挺有新意，让整个很老土的故事不至于太无聊～
很可爱的美式小甜饼，提醒我们人与人之间的连接前所未有的重要，it's the room that matters.
太差劲太无聊了….这真的是皮克斯么无语…猪一样的配角，buzz也不讨喜，垃圾故事。只剩sox了
从良后的老白太可爱，可惜还是做着见不得光的捞偏门业务，看来我也得思考一下退休生活了。
男女主角的外形和气质，立刻让我回想起六年前遇到的一对米国夫妻。那是前川普时代的一次长途自驾，充分感受到 “小镇米国” 的温情。同时，目前自己刚好也在努力培养跟老婆的共同乐趣，很羡慕剧中夫妻的默契。影片看了几分钟，就决定要跟老婆一起看。可是当时网上还只有机翻字幕，于是一时冲动手动翻译了字幕全文，放到subhd上了，希望帮更多观众理解这部好片。--字幕名字是：杰瑞和玛姬大乐透，感觉比目前的名字更贴近剧情。然后去提出修改申请，发现那个名字已在备选项中，也希望更多人建议修改一下。
女二号，不仅这部电影，总有一种羞涩感，但是这种羞涩感在这部电影里倒是蛮适合。热情和内敛，找寻共同点，一时迸发的情感，理智的选择，最终热情和夏日一起结束。
