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.

看完“警长说电影”剧透来的，下面附上链接：https://b23.tv/b255FL。
超级无敌一般，画面制作的黑不溜秋布景又极其简单，剧情单薄，旅程坑长无聊，故事讲述的五马平川。整个故事就是他妈用魔法给他上了一课，他成长了，就这样。在骑士精神消亡的今天，你通过三言两语的第一人称阐述和一些举动，去让观众觉得绿衣骑士这个人品行差是无效的，前面拍不出绿衣骑士这个人的垃圾人设后面结尾也自然软麻无力。
对待私人情绪抑或时代图景的哪一面都像是一个衰老且更枯竭且生疏的韦斯安德森，最无聊最腐朽的一种浪漫主义。
有些东西就不应该真人化。真人电影后，整部电影使人不得不对于这只狗进行一些更现实的思考，比如：如何铲屎
最后的南柯一梦，倒使讳莫如深的只言片语变得规整了。只有少年的意气启程，和伏下身认从命运是好的，中间大段都叫人昏昏欲睡
什么狗屁玩意！神神叨叨故作深沉。一个不学无术的纨绔子弟，平时玩玩小姐，结果临阵逞强，把自己逼上一段莫名其妙的冒险之旅。最后通过一段浮生掠影的意淫然后幡然悔悟重获新生？就这样获得骑士认证了？！你他妈 🤮（另外，明明讲的是英国民间故事结果主演没有一个是英格兰人种 🤢 ）
很美丽的童话，爆笑了好几次，跟想象的大红狗真的不太一样
#Berlinale72主竞赛 影片开始后出现字幕“献给Vittorio”🥺有的电影看时会感叹“只有他/她可以拍出”，Taviani兄弟的电影便是如此；有的电影看时会感叹“只有年长之人可以拍出”，本片即如此。片中渗透着对文学大师、电影大师和电影艺术无限的敬意与爱。希望……额，算了，我还是别希望了，祝福如东海寿比南山🥺🥺
#22Berlinale 3
像在观赏记忆中的倒影，风起时漾开波纹，竟是孩童恶作剧般的搅动。光线如刻刀雕出几抹剪影，随即展开变调，肃穆的葬礼需要一把瓜子花生，歌剧拉开帷幕，滑稽剧热闹散场。
是那种意大利导演擅拍的Nostalgia。
伟大作家去世褪色，身体化作尘埃散去，但其完成和未完成的作品光鲜亮丽的延续下去，导演以此纪念去世的哥哥。
去年看的，今天清一下迅雷才想起来。BDO重度爱好者狂喜。
What does the fox say的巨制MV
出去赴约单挑 结果出门就被劫了 然后打了个飞机回来了…
措不及防的主旋律电影，还升华到有色人种问题～
当影像看了。叙事太过主观，也就没有观众什么事了。
虽然故事讲明白了，但是略显无聊，不够吸引人。
以皮兰德娄归土为楔子，寄托了还是对哥哥的思悼，穿插历史记录和对死亡的思考，对皮兰德娄遗作改编还是拉了，车厢戏影像确实厉害，看的令人舒坦
今年目前为止看到最好看的黑白影像。前后2个故事联系不足，可能是我没get到吧。
