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.

看到池松壮亮想到了当年他和soda一起拍濑户内海的回忆
会想起很多，但只能稍微想起一些
倒序看起来似乎没那么悲伤。水族馆跳舞真的好有爱！
后疫情时代的倒叙爱情故事。
永瀨正敏竟然只是在打醬油。

就跟片名一样 导演想要的很少 叙述也全是碎片化的 但是你看完一定会时不时想起夜游水族馆和巷口伴着流浪汉的琴声而起的双人舞 “用眼睛咂嘴”未必不比“摇摇晃晃的电车”更生动浪漫 恋爱的结束并不总是有告别的正式的 也许就结束在对方失联几个星期时 也许就结束在看到别人送他生日礼物时 可结束了又怎样呢 夜车继续开 永濑正敏继续他无休止的等待 夜晚总是值得的 贾木许如是说
今年最期待的一部电影 但是只有最后10分钟符合了我的期待…感觉松居大悟能拍得更好一点 他真要感谢池松壮亮的演技和尾崎世界观的片尾曲
像小孩子一样！一起冲下坂道吧？抓紧我的手，是不是像是要飞起来一样？不管多少遍我都会送你去的哦，羽田空港。请在我身上违规驾驶。
荒原狼们始终向往的是小市民那份在没有狂风暴雨的温和舒适的地带安居乐业的日子，而一旦让他们过了几天这样的日子，便会发狂。我想我要从这种日式的“普通”中毕业了。
感觉还行吧，拍的是关于恋爱的故事，在加一点青春校园剧结合拍出来就更好了，这就有那种从校园婚纱的感觉了。
都是跟《花束》比啊？感觉这俩更真实，不像电影，像记录片。
挺有意思，舒适，恰到好处。
没有刻意表现爱情分开和开始的理由，倒叙的手法反而显得越来越浪漫，喜欢海洋馆和出租车后座里发生的故事，表白前的不安心态，在一起后的快乐时光，分手后的形同陌路，一切发生得都是那么日常但又不普通，流动的时间行走的人不变的空间，所有记忆只是稍微想起了一点。
意外对一个人的热情影响究竟有多大，又如何能跨越这种影响，也许永远是值得讨论的话题。
漸入佳境的一部 越到後面越精彩 最喜歡兩個人剛在一起搭計程車那段 落淚了 很喜歡這部的感覺 稍微想起一些 被狠狠觸動了
意外对一个人的热情影响究竟有多大，又如何能跨越这种影响，也许永远是值得讨论的话题。
#看的不是特别认真，居然是冰淇淋和雨声的导演，完全风格不同，这部很稳，一点不躁，女主真是太可爱，嗓音有股魔力…磁场相同才会互相吸引，分开似乎也是必然的，感觉男主变化也挺大，没想到挺文艺，两人确实少了在一起的可能性吧。
跟花束对比还是差了一些
