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.

应该是唐顿的大结局了——Stop the noise, I can't hear myself die. 想起第一季的时候我在安村到处安利的时光……刚好最近又看到阿城说起中国文化的断代，更加唏嘘……总之，我同意厨子的说法，盎格鲁萨克逊文明是人类文明的标杆。
劇情稍微薄弱了一些，不影響我喜歡了這部劇10年，賺足了眼淚5555
终于到了与最至爱的老夫人告别的时刻，原来已经过去了十二年。大表哥死后就没有再追剧集，但每次看电影都感觉没有阻隔，亲切依然。不得不说风格和人物保持得太好了，时光荏苒，再见仍是当初爱上时的模样。
唐顿庄园，静远流深。
唐屯粉儿很满足了55，比第一部有诚意，尤其最后仆人们围坐在餐桌边演戏的设计，很有意思。人生就是要不断接受出其不意的事情，奶奶走好🥲但让我担心的是演员的身体状况，是不是也不太行了啊😭巴罗去了美利坚，莫斯利开始写剧本，三姑爷带着孩子老婆去了男法，二小姐重新开始办杂志，大小姐学会拒绝诱惑独当一面…未来或好或是坏，在一次又一次时代浪潮的冲击下，人的肉体也许会消逝，但唐屯儿永存。
唐顿好美。台词一贯的优雅。老太太去世的场景大概是一个人离世时最完美的状态了。
送房子这个从头到尾有反转，最后结尾是好的
片中好几处真的会让人想哭啊，离第一季12年了……
似乎不再有从前看到主人家唤仆人时那根丝线牵引着的震动，只是一群许久未见的老友，互相絮叨着近况，尤其再这个每个人都有交代的情境下，不由得还是很想念三小姐啊。如今老太太也没能进入新时代，唏嘘更甚了。
看前三分之二的时候想，如果收尾不够精彩就是轻松愉快的四星片了。然后，就看到朱利安式的完美结局：时代的更替，表现在有声电影的进场，上世纪财产的归属变更，阶级在胶片造梦机中的模糊，往事的处置和摊牌，以及，肉身的更迭……
婚礼之后是葬礼，死亡之后是新生
老夫人去世了唐顿庄园就真的结束一个时代了
接待过国王的唐顿庄园，也有楼顶阁楼漏雨无法修复的时候，年轻时的爱恋在即将离开世界之前勾起，电影拍摄走进了唐顿庄园，而在这个过程中从无声电影到了有声电影，幸福的人们开启幸福或者倍加珍惜幸福，一些新的职责落在孙女身上，那场仆人们参与的狂欢，到楼上的落寞。唐顿庄园，继续往下走，会有多少相似又不同的故事呢？
似乎是最好的结局了，两条故事线并行，默片与有声电影的碰撞，都在唐顿庄园里进行，老妇人的传位，崭新的时代也在到来
婚礼开场，葬礼结尾，最后还有新生。每个角色都好鲜活，唐家屯儿永远的神！
所有的记忆都飘向了第一部上映的2019年，当时还是在香港看的，被粤语翻译的各种人名搞到头大。转眼，真应了A New Era，戏里戏外都在告别。
如果Downton Abbey能一直出下去我愿意给五星～多线并行最开始有点乱，但越往后越好看～我一直相信从骨子里就坏的人是很少的，人性的多面性也是如此令人着迷啊……又被提到的大表哥啊(｡•́︿•̀｡)
纯粉丝向电影，对新观众来讲就是冗长平淡乏味的两个小时。
每个人每个片段都那么温暖人心 很多女性角色都各有特点 喜欢Cora的眼神 第一部让我深刻领会尊严教养英式优雅与尊重的影视 但观看时需要电视剧相关背景
一场婚礼开头，一场葬礼结尾，中间贯穿着生老病死与爱恨情仇，导演一流的构图和调度，还有无声电影的死亡和有声电影的诞生，完美。
