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.

十元一定是因为不用和永野芽郁同框当母女才选择演个“荒唐”妈妈吧
【02:17:01 BD Rip 1080p 23.976 fps】剧情说不通的，但是好催泪啊
宝宝，好歹母女137分钟，你就叫声妈怎么了呢🥹
毕业合唱和结婚典礼看哭我了。穿婚纱不适合戴手表，可这是你送给我的手表啊。笨拙父亲和拘束女儿，这么多年也在互相陪伴与拯救吧。
儿童木屋情感攻击，活下来的继续还贷，死的究竟是谁？去年那部《天鹅挽歌》的正确打开方式
又是一个高概念的无聊电影，远不如双重人格的身份设定更有说服力。
可惜了一个本可以因演员阵容和再婚家庭的叙事出发点成为神作的作品。
真的是很无聊空泛的剧情 而且女主的人生就是一个接力棒在男人之间传来传去吗？以及十元为了满足女儿的梦想不是去努力赚钱而是找一个有钱的老公？三观太不正了吧 颜值挽回一星
可惜了一个本可以因演员阵容和再婚家庭的叙事出发点成为神作的作品。
和天鹅挽歌相同题材，天鹅是看了半小时点❌，这部是1.5倍速看完但心里很不舒服。看天鹅的时候就不明白为什么要斥巨资克隆自己，死都死了还管什么身后事，连生她养她的亲生母亲都只想要体贴懂事的克隆人，真是讽刺
跟碎片化的剧情，不是看过书都不知道讲的是什么剧情。父女不像父女 ，母女不母女，笑得挺尴尬的
难以用常规思维理解的尬片～
克隆人生死决斗，后半段麻麻。没想到看到了小粉成为了教练。
剪辑的镜头和配乐都很有水准，但是这个故事真的太戏剧性了，剧中的台词有几句的重复利用很有感觉。来回利用切换的镜头去讲述该故事把现代和过去的时间串起来讲述，让人通俗易懂。剧中的台词都是有相对的铺垫的，例如妈妈去哪了？爸爸去哪了？后面都是有交代到，故事情节来说还算是圆满的，和电影的题目相得益彰。剧中女主在充满爱的一个环境中成长，其实算是一种对美好人心的愿望吧。现实中的结局可想而知，所以才说电影是生活的剪影吧。
剧情很怪：有两个时间线，但服化道的体现很有限；对婚姻的意义解构到女性的经济依赖，挺没有意思的……演员不错

电影里的人物都好善良，后面一直跟着哭，演员颜值好高，4月的最后一天看了这个部电影，记录一下。
果然是爱的接力棒，剧中全是圣母、圣父，只能说算是一个成人童话故事。
看完的感受就是好奇话， 好奇怪……后来发现自己奇怪的点在于两个过于理想化的继父和除了美貌没有展现出太多其他价值就被不遗余力爱着的继母，在当下亚洲女性微妙的处境下，显得非常不合情理。同时，把继女的爱和未来，完全寄托在并无血缘关系的三个男人身上，这就是爱的接力吗😂最后女儿的结婚结局，更像是完成了从父权到夫权的交接，让我不禁感慨，2022年了还能看到这么立意老套、自我感动的日本电影，实在是难以理解
Dual.2022.1080p.WEBRip.DD5.1.x264-NOGRP 够黑镜啊，辛辛苦苦训练了一年多，最后决定和好越境，没想到最后复制体毒杀了本体，取代了她的生活，够讽刺！
