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.

布景、光影、人物台词和细微表情的细节都难以言传的精妙，诡异和嘲讽，庄严和肃穆互相吞噬的角力让整部剧曼妙无比。
看不懂想表达什么，很多时候他们开的玩笑，他们的反应让我觉得很...不能接受🤷♀️
动画里的科技公司永远有一个反人类的没有人性的阴险狡诈的大老板/永远搞到电源短路的烂电脑原来是关键道具/社交牛逼症的机器人拯救社交恐惧症的怪男孩，人机友谊万岁！
属于索伦蒂诺的“痛苦与荣耀”，一个夏天发生了太多的事情，足球是留在这里，家人是伤痛，性是重新与未来建立连接的桥梁，电影就是梦想之神；导演把那不勒斯拍的太美了，和天才女友里的那不勒斯完全不是一回事，而且电影中的幻想和现实好几次的连接拿捏的恰到好处，不过这也是导演一贯的水准吧
「失靈腦朋友」的面世讓孩童們覺悟
Are you my friend, Barney? 哭成鬼了
真内卷时代啊，机器人居然要替人思考合群问题。假装看不懂CEO是在影射库克+扎克伯格。社交牛逼症居然会传染嘻嘻嘻...
帕慕克以「呼愁」称呼家乡伊斯坦布尔，那么索伦蒂诺便以同样的笔触来抒怀他与那不勒斯的记忆。轻快玩笑的语调很快退散，别离苦涩的哀愁又转眼充盈。
那是1984年的夏天，这座城市正在为马拉多纳的到来而疯狂。但人群中的一个男孩却在一夜之间发现，球场上的呐喊渐渐沦为生活的背景声，突然长大的他离乡远足，一段人生就此开启，一段回忆就此告终。
又一部非常不错的老少皆宜的动画片！
罗恩真是太可爱了！
看吧，好朋友的珍贵不是让你出位，而是为你出头。
2021.12.16 看得不是很懂。。也不是剧情上的不懂 就是深层次的 内涵之类的不是很懂 跟我想象的完全不一样啊 上帝之手应该指的是罗纳尔多 在比赛的时候用手射门 主要是围绕一个家庭的故事然后别的亲戚啊朋友啊啥的 意大利人还是一如既往的开放 外加女的各个都是丰乳肥臀那么丰满的。。小姨胸大的就离谱跟球一样 家族坐船去玩的时候直接在一堆人面前全裸躺在那里 连毛都给你看还那么多。。地中海也太蓝了吧 甚至都有点不敢相信 男主他爸也是厉害让男主随便给一个女的第一次 当听到爸妈出事了我就猜到肯定是遇到什么泄露中毒了因为突然两个人睡着了 后面那个男爵夫人也太骚了吧 老牛吃嫩草居然要男主干她 男主也是离谱 就算再饥渴也不能这么随意吧。。熟悉的欧洲全裸海滩 全是奶子。。男主没听导演的话去了罗马发展 他是真帅
也是最可笑的那类美式动画。
3.5。这个故事概念太可怕太吓人，但就是没咋讲好，前面有点不太吸引人
苹果+脸书的巨无霸垄断企业也太恐怖了吧？不理解的是，为什么没有成年人市场？帮成年人社交和match不是更赚钱？前面还算不错，最后强行的煽情真的……一言难尽。实体盘就插在那儿，数据而已，怎么就能没了？云端是一次性的吗？而且…..比起Ron，我可能更想要一个真人朋友吧？
亲人，朋友，故乡都随风飘散。于是我们成长，我们出发。
「失靈腦朋友」的面世讓孩童們覺悟
后半段的剧情就变得乏力了起来，硬将故事收缩回常规套路中来，把前面铺垫的带有深度的主题一一化解，成为中规中矩的卖萌电影。
除了最后坐火车，几乎是我在欧洲遇到的事情了。
