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.

影片情感细腻，化学反应强烈，在拍摄手法和剧本方面不是很成熟，但是整部影片观看下来氛围感挺不错的，个人不是很喜欢宗教题材的影片，有点过于压抑。影片前半部分糖分满满，充满了暧昧与悸动，亲密戏份欲值拉满，后半部分世俗的套路使这部影片大打折扣，但是导演在某些小细节上抓的还是很可以的。
她说“我去了欧洲，去年夏天。” 她哽咽了一下回“我知道。”然后从包里拿出一堆明信片“你阿姨给我的。” “都读过了吗？” “差不多一万遍吧。”她还是哽咽“和我们想象的一样吗？” 她定了定神点了点头 然后深情看着她说“你也在场就好了。”
西岛配spitz没理由不给五星。谁不想要一个史朗这样的男友！！
很喜欢他们的相处模式，不是有求必应宠着对方，而是事事有回应，注重对方情绪。但是那个流浪汉辩护案有点没头没尾的，发廊小哥那段也。
That's Lucca，和你最喜欢的意大利冷门小城名字一样，叫Lucca / 红色手绳我依然每天都带着，不知道那条蓝色手绳你是否也还留着？现在的我染了两束蓝色头发，睡前依然会把流星碎片放在看了一半的书上。每一天，我都很想你。
对于一个没有宗教信仰的人，这个片子让我知道了宗教信仰的影响有多大。
流水账一样的生活，大团圆不过是一厢情愿，我们在各自的不完满里仍然在期待明媚午后的缤纷落樱
2022年7月：15日→在豆瓣电影网页版看到这部电影时只有原名《You Can Live Forever》，但因为不到300人评价的8.5分而产生兴趣；19日→决定观影时已经有了简体中文名《唯爱永存》；20日→观看正片时，发现简体中文名变成了《永生永世》；看完电影写记录时，主译名又被改回了《唯爱永存》，还多了个又名《爱无止境》。
没办法理解宗教人的信仰。。。。两位女主真配，爱时的眼神给个高分。
违命前传（x/女主长得像McAdams和火吻的私生女😂姬片编剧们是不是得了HE困难综合症？？结局什么东西啊！封建迷信不可取！You should been there.
前面真的好甜，充满暧昧与悸动。后面这个孩子…看完难过得想喝中药调理成侄女了
原教旨主义者真吓人他们说的每一个字都和你脑子里的那个字完全不是一个意思只有退潮沙滩上的绿黄配夹克残留一些少女情怀总是诗的美
结尾真恐怖，结了婚的那位面容憔悴，没结婚的那位神采奕奕，这大概是个反婚反育片吧，宗教信仰不是两人被迫分开的理由，而是在于自始至终根本就没有想明白要怎么过好属于自己的人生。
喜欢两位主角衣着整齐时的触碰拥抱接吻就能澎湃的激情，喜欢冬季明亮广阔的风景，喜欢如海浪缓慢摇曳的音乐，也喜欢姑妈和黑人小哥温柔舒适的关怀与陪伴，唯独不是很喜欢这个故事。
没什么感觉….拉拉的痛苦故事看过太多了，只要不死人我都能接受。女性角色都是美女耶舔舔
一生求一枚西岛俊秀这样的温柔可人。求不得我就靠这个系列反复看了！21年剧场版他还是这么儒雅帅气，这个男人不会老的嘛！！
1，第一次说不放我走吗的时候充满刚谈恋爱的甜蜜和难舍难分，第二次说这句话却是两个人的坚定不移，是对宗教、婚姻的冲破和对自我的认清。2，心跳的速度就像时间流逝的速度一样快，情不知所起，一往情深，你想我吗，每天都。3，杰米的朋友、女性家人都很好，尊重他人，不给予意见、不加以阻挠。4，认清自己和认清规训都是一个没有回头路的过程吧，一旦觉醒就无法自欺欺人了。5，天啊，赞爆这部片子，片尾看着水灵灵的妹子结婚生子后苍老成那样好心痛！！！
挺温暖的故事还是被拉长了
“我想跟走在这里的每个人炫耀史朗是最棒的男朋友！”
天哪 T^T 影院那段莫名开始狂哭(꒦⌓꒦ ) tension简直
