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.

编剧，电影人，文创人，夹的那点儿私货，不能细想，一想即泪流满面
文艺小品在女孩最后的回归开始升格出一种绵延如水的抒情至结束，恍然这似水流年的惆怅和惋惜表达如此质朴又别具一格，金熊水准。
我发誓再也不看国产低成本密室悬疑剧了，看吐了，演技浮夸，剧情生硬，民国乱世风，每一点都让我很难受。这种烂俗场景风格的电影竟然还有人吹，而且这种风格还越来越多。。
导演用一个电影真的说明白了拍电影确实不容易
孤独的夜旅人，希望能找到心灵的归宿。妈妈很年轻很漂亮，希望能像她一样找到工作，坚强的活着。
好舒服的片子，即使生活中再有残破不堪也能相互温柔走过，不得不说改革的大背景也起到了很大作用。
自恋又儿戏的口号片，照着姜文的片子画出来的。
又燃又暖 喜欢这种揉搓心灵的「复古喜剧」 现场见到了刘循子墨导演 尹正和张本煜 Live了韩寒监制 真的是北京雾霾天里最意外的惊喜 从断手斯城一路走来 张本煜你快点给我红！——「你听过夜莺歌唱吗？去看《扬名立万》吧」
温暖 感人 如巴黎夜晚点点灯光 浪漫隽永 而生活的潮起潮落 伊丽莎白经历艰难磨难 历尽千辛 迎来曙光 也目睹儿女长大成人 还有第二春(*๓´╰╯`๓)♡
陈思成，从唐探1~唐探3，一直延续着厌女的贬低女性的价值观，和镜头。一个母亲给女儿弄面包，是通过陪睡面包店老板的镜头都能拍出来，陈思成想表达啥只有他自己清楚。一群男人戏，女性戏份少却处处展现强大的力量！！没有低俗的玩笑，没有黄色的段子，没有贬低女性的恶俗镜头，依然能讲好故事。看，年龄从来不是限制，年级轻轻，导演很优秀。演员，很给力。这样的电影，该扬名立万
很温情很舒服很简单的电影。充满了巴黎浪漫又温存的夜色，充满了怀旧情绪和时代氛围。人生中总会有不顺遂的时刻，也会陷入谷底而重生，下一篇章是什么样的无法预料，但是总有一些东西是实实在在永永久久的。人与人之间的关系当然不会恒常不变，为了不破坏它甚至不惜远离它，然而那些互动中流露的真挚，心碎时得到的抚慰，伤痛中触到的援手，是永远的好时光，是内心里永久的温柔之乡力量之源。
自我感动是创作的毒药，哪怕良心上的。
只是确实执行力不行。剪辑乱且碎，影响质感为0。另外，希望现在的国产片都能对自己有点数，没事不要动不动就超过2小时的时长。要懂得取舍。
非常非常喜欢 太温柔了 / 让人觉得 一生至少要去一次xxx吧 这样的句式是合理的 只要是巴黎
片子挺有种的。角色塑造立体有层次，镜头语言丰富，影迷梗应用得恰到好处，故事含蓄有留白，悬念能留到最后，调侃讽刺中透着悲凉和倔强。除了中间略跑题和拖沓，夹杂了一些没有必要的内容，作为处女作挺不错。最难得是同时拍出了人类的腐朽和光辉，还有那要命不值钱但弥足珍贵的东西——良心。
“我们曾经瞥见的，我们的碎片，会由我们的梦来滋养”。雨天给自己的礼物，深夜听着雨声自己看时仿佛回到南方暖光灯下的小小书桌旁，手边放着日记本和热茶。
2022.7.2 和巴黎夜旅人一起做了一场梦，每个瞬间，都像是永远。非常喜欢。
这虽然与我想象中的不一样，我也很努力的在生活。
虽然这部电影借女性角色为女性说了几句漂亮话，但是在很重要的动机方面，给出的理由是歌女被大人物性虐待，需要用碎尸的手段来保住她的名节，在场的人都觉得很合理且信了，这是很保守也很矛盾的。
这里面的人，独立，自由，努力追寻着自己的梦，也是一群可爱的人：可以被爱的人。最后的一段直接泪目
