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.

或许原始剧场版结尾营造的人类回归原点的“宿命”感更加震撼，这部的结尾则更像是作者不断努力把我们拉回真正的“人间”。或许震撼更适合年轻时的我们，这部的沉稳反而更适合经历过生活还爱生活的人琢磨个中滋味。导演也算对得起自tv版开始创造的每个情节、每一帧（外在躯壳下的心灵补完重新回到重头），历经磨难的真嗣也算在这里真正亲手拯救了每一个他关心的人，所以值得拥有最平凡的生活。因此人类也便不再需要eva了，世界也才真的“新世纪”了
最让我感动的地方是当年主创人员对这部剧倾注的心血，从选角开始到每一集拍摄现场根据观众的反应临时brain storm改剧本改台词，那个年代的人对这项事业投注的满腔热血，还有无数观众从这部剧中得到的抚慰支持，一部好的作品蕴藏的力量是如此之大。当然那些幕后的花絮和六位主演当年的友情也是十分珍贵。
满分。非“补完”的结尾补完了作品本身，补完了观众的期待。所有人都在期待真嗣的成长，期待他直面一切。他最终也做到了。
对此刻的他们而言 到底是这次重聚 还是过去了的那十年 更像一场梦？
Mari的出现仿佛是为了防止Asuka和Rei两派粉丝打架所创造出来的工具人. 我以为TV版的大白已经够吓人了, 电影写实版的大白竟然还要吓人… 比上一部好, 不过我还是觉得没原剧好.
They were my friends when I didn’t really have any.
Could it BE any later？ 连David和Jennifer的暧昧往事也要来炒一炒，还有全球观众代表的PC都证明了浓浓的商业考量。但还是很认同制作人的初心：进入家庭前每天跟朋友混在一起的生活，那时我们有梦，关于hang around，关于爱情。想起永远绑在一起的曾拥有无限可能性的年轻的时候，只有一声叹息。
也算是影版呼声太大，不得已来重聚一下慰藉慰藉老粉们顺便刷一波收视率（但为什么一直热泪盈眶呢！！！55555555 21/05/27 1080P
I will be there for you……forever.
庞大驳杂、包罗万象、纵横捭阖了26年的2.5次元舞台剧，如今终于完结了。庵野扭曲的野望、剧中人的痛苦与丑陋、跳票与漫长等待中的孤寂这些对观众长久的折磨与棒喝也画上了一个并非皆大欢喜的句号。无论如何，该系列作品所带来的冲击，仍然会将其垂范业界的涟漪永恒地传递下去。
对十年前看的剧情已记不得多少了。很多人只纠结于情感线的剧情，我却觉得其实这是无关紧要的。剧场版而言，这部终曲与上一部的间隔时间是最长的——八九年，我相信庵野的思考是成熟的。从主线人类补完计划来说，我支持庵野秀明，他完全达成了他的意图，完成了他的思考，满分。
从大家进片场开始就忍不住流下了怀旧的泪水。Ross第一个走进Stage 24，所有回忆都如他所说的一样flash back in my mind。里头摆放着Joey和钱钱公寓里的按摩椅、Central Perk里的橙色大沙发，所有的一切都是十七年前的模样。大家重新聚在Mon家，仿佛十七年后的他们只是又回了一趟家的感觉。RR那一段台词对戏，就好像时光交错的两个人在隔空对话。We channeled our love into Ross and Rachel真的好好哭，但能以这种方式拥有过彼此也足矣。不过比较担心chan chan的身体状况，重聚的时候看上去不太精神。总而言之，是这群演员塑造了我在friends中遇见的每一个角色。最后就只希望大家都身体健康！
从逻辑上完全理不通（也不想理），但不妨碍我多次流泪。这就是音画的力量。连真嗣都长大了
我的青春啊！Joey现在变这么胖是因为他一直贯彻never share food吗？
结局可谓圆满，但我还是选 tv26+旧剧场版+retake。四部连看，明显感受到机体巨大感的逐渐消失。
断断续续看了大半个月，当你以为的深刻只是你以为的，就只剩下中二了。结尾的最后10分钟和凌波务农的片段救回了全片的格调和美术质量。
eva早就完结了 这什么玩意啊 你还是去做特摄吧 我不要求你保持初心 但你也别胡做啊
等了这么多年，导演你给我们看这个？这部最终曲看的满脸问号：要说导演没预算吧，用了大量CG动画，还都是大场面，做的比新海诚还逼真，一点EVA原本的质感都没有；要说预算太多了吧，连手稿都拿出来了，是别有用心还是滥竽充数？强行拉郎配强行和解又是几个意思？葛城美里的儿子都工作了，主演几个人还是小朋友又是什么说法？以及明日香为什么不穿衣服天天光着屁股到处跑，大家喜欢明日香也不用这么下本钱吧？？？
六个人当中莫妮卡保持的状态最好（当然是有打针和医美的），瑞秋看起来状态不错但其实有呈现出一点点老人肥，菲比是六个人当中最自然的，虽然很容易看得出年龄，但却是令人舒服的那种。相比起努力保持的女生们，男生们状态就差得太多了，罗斯肉毒杆菌打得太明显了，钱德勒看起来饮食无度，只有乔伊算是比较自然状态下的与年龄相符，但可以看得出来，总的来说，在外形上女演员比男演员压力要大得多。
Friends真好TuT，无可替代。想起大学里废寝忘食地看剧，把片头设成闹钟，后来扭腰东村tour知道取外景的大楼忘了几街，还有14年popup store展览mon和chan的结婚誓词手稿，以及在熟悉的沙发拍到此一游照。不管从哪里捡起来都能一直看下去，S1E1看的次数过多都可以背诵了嗷。
