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.

To people!!!! 我整个暴哭。如果没有疫情，我应该就在现场了。
应该看现场，效果会更好，虽然没有那个观看的环境，却能够对其构造的环境感同身受。
10 minutes in, I’m already crying #我永远爱CFA
电影本质上跟男主是一样的，提供一种幻想服务，重点是 find your pleasure and honor it
或许从另一个方面解读，是否将自己全盘托出 消除隔阂 是能否获得极致的性爱体验的原因之一?
一波好几折好巧不巧终于在今天云看上了，剧里的主角说着911十周年纪念，我在剧外已经是911二十周年纪念了；也许正如我和CFA曲折的缘分一样，每件事都是有自己的时间吧。
终于膜拜了传说中的佳作。当结尾艾玛·汤普森对着镜子看着自己衰老的躯体最后脸上露出微笑的时候，我笑着哭了。开始觉得房间里有一群人围观，慢慢地人数减少了，到最后真的就只剩下两个人～亦或是刚开始是两个戴面具的人，中间有一个人不小心面具掉了，最后两个人干脆都摘下了面具……

Highly recommended.看完后第一时间推荐给朋友。看多了开心麻花，我都忘了这才是音乐剧（当然前面是话剧，我意思是好看的剧）。有伤痛、有开心、有反思，居然还是真人真事。途中一度想到我们的疫情难关能不能也出这样一个不煽情的好剧。场景、调度、演员、歌声、编排真的很棒。梦回西区！
艾玛阿姨最后对自己身子坦诚的一笑，太美了
I’m an islander ，I am an islander！
纵然有名有利如艾玛姨，感觉也是本色出演，身为女子的烦恼和压抑让人一开场就感同身受不禁泪流。后段从单向疗愈变成双向疗愈引发矛盾就有点破坏这种宜人小品的恰如其分感，稍有点刻意。但总体是很值得看的，男主是真帅啊！
you are here, at the start of a moment. 你身在此处，看山是山，水是水，同处在同一事件里，但你会有你的感受和你的记忆。
简直太棒了！！每首歌响起的时候都想哭！啊有官摄简直太幸福啦！好清晰好近的镜头！！请把那些经典都拍一遍好吗！！把这些可爱演员的最佳状态留下来呀！呜呜不知道还能不能看到现场啊！
QAQ 再看一遍，还是stop the world最戳我 时间好快啊
天降圣鸭！衰老不是最可怕的，最可怕的是老了没钱请鸭，所以，女人，趁着年轻多多挣钱吧。

20 years. Still remember every minute of that morning. This is recorded from live theater. Fantastic acting.
3.0。看眼海報就能想出劇情的大致落點，全然屬於乘著女性主義浪潮的陳舊雞湯，並且沒有看出非要拿這個劇本拍電影而不是做成舞台劇的必要性。
今夜我们无人入睡。
