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.

happy ending for everyone的流水账
恐惧还是爱？改变世界！行动远远胜于言语！——
关于音乐剧的音乐剧，优秀的地方大多数来自传记原本的天妒英才，整个故事因为音乐剧的感觉非常零碎，角色基本靠加菲尔德单人凯瑞（毕竟是传记），3星多一丢丢到不了4，更喜欢LA La Land
BGM起来就会梦回唐顿 520还包场就真的好像受众不太多 没关系 珍宝留给自己慢慢享受
今年我三十岁了。客观事实不以人的意志为转移…因为自己绝对属于不认真生活的那一挂，所以总是会被认真活着努力追梦的人打动…并且还有那么好听的音乐。
PS：喜欢里面那个头发剃的方方正正的黑人兄弟，唱的挺有感觉的。
而那些强行想要扣题和拔高立意的部分，也因整体影像感的缺失而失效。
乔纳森是不幸的，英年早逝。
如果和加菲前女友的《爱乐之城》对比，我可能会更喜欢这一部一点点，当然总的是差不多的。
男主唱这么多歌都不如女主一首震撼，当然剧情也说了这首是重头戏。
超级被打动，创作人被看见之前漫长的孤独疲惫和那份拼命与之撕扯的热爱太让人动容了。在这个已经长久被不安与焦虑笼罩的时代，在这个充满漂泊感与随时感到有可能被放弃的时间点，人类的热情与希望很需要一些被唤醒的时刻，感谢天才与艺术。很可惜的一件事是听不到小声喧哗聊聊这部电影了。
在不断求新求变求刺激的欧美影视圈里拍出一部以保守主义为基调的剧集也的确体现出了英国人(对自己)的历史热情，现代性在并行着英式保守的过渡乐趣中(与有声电影的过渡形成呼应)也使得一种古典的人性以得体和精致而非猎奇和解构的视角呈现出来，这不仅来自英国人对近现代史的一如既往的自信和骄傲，亦是永远绕不过去的对美好光景的憧憬和复古式想象，无论多有戏剧和冲突，游刃有余的贵族式态度才是英伦范儿的人文内核。保守有保守的美好。
滴答滴答倒数，拉森的三十岁来得太早，而他的三十六岁永远没有到来，林聚聚在音乐剧方面的才华让另一位天才的坎坷之路串接着倒数时刻的演出美妙地呈现出来，当然要算上加菲无可挑剔的表演，八年熬出的傲慢进不了百老汇，那就潜心创作下一部剧。
电影还行吧。但乔纳森的经历更让我触动，他在《吉屋出租》开演之前就去世了，这让他成为一位最纯粹的艺术家和理想主义者。
炎夏酷暑吹空调看唐顿，没有比这再清凉的事了
That's life: getting past the unexpected, and perhaps learning from it. // Marriage is a novel, full of the plot twists along the way // I hope you’ll be as happy as our cruel world allows. // Don't steer me, I'm not a racing car. // Stop that noise. I can't hear myself die. 临终都带着幽默 //真实拍摄地Highclere Castle 的确因为拍电影才有资金进行维护
这是一个关于梦想的故事，友情爱情和事业，任何东西在时间下闪光，在时间下褪去，又在时间下显得弥足珍贵。 这是一部关于音乐的故事，镜头前的加菲在歌唱，镜头后面的导演在编排，这些都是映射创作者的内心，这才是平凡的故事收获的感动！ 听，tick，tick。。。Boom！
看了一半弃了，不是太喜欢这样的音乐剧，音乐不动人故事也平淡，不值8.3分，不如爆裂鼓手
纯粉丝滤镜才能看，不然甚至不太能算作一个电影
虽然题材相似但感觉跟lalaland完全不同。看片尾的真人录像，本人还有一些局促不安一些逃避镜头和一些失落的感觉。印象最深的是男主问经纪人接下来怎么办？经纪人说写下一个，你只能不停地不停地写下一个。
