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.

配乐和画面都是很小清新的日系电影的风格,很好看,很好听。剧情没有意外之喜,男女主之间的情绪和分寸都是比较抓人的。
坂口健太郎继《与君相遇100次》再次送走老婆,想哭的时候来看看释放下压力挺好的,看名字预告都能知道的中规中矩商业催泪片,抱着另外期待来看然后骂没新意的才是你没事吧
片名最撩人,其余的吧,绝症片使人麻木。。对于小日本的距离感无力吐槽了都。。看颜值就不错,还有Radw.最带感!
很喜欢小松菜奈和坂口健太郎,但是这部电影真的很平,很一般
一般吧。主要是没有触动到我,很难想象被宣判生命进入倒计时之后心态会产生怎样翻天覆地的变化。。。
太美了,听说这是拍了差不多一年的电影,四季的景色真是好看。结局还是没能逆转,茉莉还是走了,但是仍然给我们这些意难平的观众留下了一瞬的可能。唯一觉得不好的点就是没搞懂男主那么废柴的原因,不过这部片子主要描写女主的那也就算了吧。
虽然哭了好一会 但是拍的还是好烂啊啊啊啊啊
????????????????????????这片子整个就好奇怪好奇怪啊,摇滚是很摇滚,招魂还带点儿柯南伯格那味儿,摄像有点炫富,但是最后结尾未免太过草率,控电是咋回事也没讲,另外女主她家哪有邻居啊????????????????
题材跟肿瘤君很像 但是nana演技还是差点 有些地方可能没接好 但是好好哭 我还是哭惨了
看到她一段段删除视频的时候,感同身受,人最痛苦的就是把自己甜美的回忆一点一点的剥离出去。近几年日本相关的题材好多啊,致我的樱花恋人,花束般的恋爱等。
eemmm,确实没啥记忆点,但每一帧美如画,跟拍画报似的。
可是不后悔遇见你
一件一件美好被记录下来,一条一条回忆被悄然删去。在流逝的有限的生命里,点亮了一个绝望透顶的男人,谈了一场没有结果的恋爱。很美很遗憾,很老套很平淡,但看得津津有味。
温子仁可太温柔了,上辈子怕不是个天使吧?!明明拍惊悚恐怖片起家却,却视播撒普世真善美为己任,关键每次都有被戳到,没治了……而且总是在求新求变,这次算是开创个医学恐怖伦理新流派吗!?整个结构和情节从没这么合理过,甚至有点像医疗剧233333
打动我的不是这个影片,因为叙事节奏实在拖得太水了。但这个本子是真的轻松赚走眼泪,剧本本身的文学性好过影片呈现出来的质感。而且小松菜奈和坂口健太郎都太美好了,所以这股子疼痛感一下就击打到位。摄影和配乐很好的烘托出了这份残忍命运途中的美好,两次时间静止配合樱花飘落,眼之所见就是生命中最灿烂美好的样子。

坂口健太郎真的好像小狗啊,每次他哭都好让人怜爱。天空树,初诣,樱花,烟火,海边,野餐,滑雪…可能只是每对普普通通东京情侣的老套约会日常,但在女主眼里也是值得记录下来的不可多得的奢侈记忆
删了那些dv真是个狠人 要是我死了我都不舍得删 在那个界面好害怕在没电的时候她就走了 期待影院上映 会去看 自己的音响少了那么点意思 最后 谢谢作者
过了半年终于在中国上线了,看到茉莉闭上眼幻想着以后嫁人生子的情节真是太好哭了。相机拍下樱花的画面贯穿始终,很唯美,好想和喜欢的人一起去赏樱,一起去天空树啊!
隐约联想到巴夏关于bipolar的解释。要是不能理解/接受/容纳/安抚/整合我们脑后的Gabriel,他就要翻身做主人。但有时候我的正面也真的有它束手无策的时候只得派背面出面解决没有其他办法。
