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.

科幻 克隆人 以为会聚焦在复制人和本体的斗争阴谋论 电影讲的确是情感 记忆与复制人和本体的和解
昨晚看，忘标了。就，庸俗的极致，但这次比较虚浮，没了此前的底气。
怡然敬父执，问我来何方。
3倍速好爽。
3.2 不痛不痒，在各人物内心浅挠一下，但还好仍存有一点对二十年代电影的激情，并且这种迷影精神也是关注欧洲的（提到冈斯的《拿破仑》，追求实景拍摄的老派精神），对激进的好莱坞保持警醒。总之就是英女王家历史与现代那点破事儿：现代君主制的忧虑、与欧陆的关系，以及一战后当英国不再世界领先时也得向资本和以美国为中心的产业妥协（刚进入有声电影时期的电影业），时代大流不可挡。还有本世纪英国人已经多次庄严地设想了女王的离去，脱欧之际新冠之后（那句类似于“病毒不挑阶级”的台词）这种焦虑更重了，他们对执掌英国的管家也有更多的忧虑了。
TV版动画11-14集的合辑篇，主要内容就是三个主角第一次相遇，而后在一个会各种转换的房子里，炭治郎打败了下玄鬼，之后休养生息，准备前往蜘蛛山，相比较于原本的TV版，这个特别版并没有加入什么新内容，看过原版的可以不再看这个，但是如果是想要体会连续性较强的对战，这个版本还是可以一看的，而且这段打斗里，敲鼓变换空间还是很有视觉效果的，最后炭治郎在沉浸之中获得成长，用大招破解一切，也制作的非常出色，如果想要重温剧情，又觉得分集看比较麻烦，还是可以一看本片的。
与第一部一样，精巧的"互文"从剧集的结构进入电影的结构。
完全没有电影的感觉，就是粉丝向剧场版，走马观花般给了一众角色个交代，倒看得确实有些感动。
非常喜欢
少年独自走向未来，存在失衡瞬间，缤纷并非总是美好，褪去色彩，感知纯粹自我，因知内心所向，迈向无边界未来。

Ali演的是没话说了，风景和装修也美得很。就是这故事是不是略弱。。。当然，是个很精致的小品了！
只恨不能给满分。电影院里我想着好喜欢好喜欢，又哭得要命。所有人都圆满，所有细节都窝心。我幸福到泪流满面。又想起我的爷爷，好想他。
意思用几集动漫凑出来个剧场版 究竟这种剧场版意义在哪
哇我的梦想就是整一个这种仿生人让我能没有任何心理负担的去死🙏
"太太要离开了，而屋子里满是电影人。"
就是把几集汇成一部电影？有点随意啊，每集间接得不是很好，有重复
老夫人真的走了的时候我流泪了，但又觉得“make sense”，生命本来就是个轮回。但她的“陈年老瓜”确实是有点意思。
