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.

整部就是一次会议的谈话记录，非常“平”，但是这种“平”让人觉得更毛骨悚然，即使会上有一些人针对“最终方案”提出了一些反对意见，这些反对也并不是因为同情犹太人而是出于自己部门的利益考虑。ps海德里希和与会人员讲的一些话很耳熟🤫
天啊好平庸，林漫威真的不会导电影，越是想把电影做成电影化，那些元素就越是和歌舞不搭
枯燥的内容却如此吸引人
很多眼熟的演员，你德是不是真的只有二十个演员，最眼熟的当属那个处处唱反调儿的博士，哟！您老不是巴比伦柏林里那个炒股失败闹了一出自杀大戏的警长吗？
不寒而栗，一群道貌岸然的“优质人”在90分钟内制定出清晰的犹太人种族屠杀计划，人性的邪恶在他们心中泛滥成灾，那些个“专家”、“博士”趋炎附势，满嘴仁义道德讲究法律的“清理”异族，完全丧失自己的是非观，600万犹太人就这样死在你们屠刀下。
三星半，会议上对于生命的冷漠谈论真的有点让人不寒而栗。

昨天在East Village逛著看到影院的牌子上居然有在上映咒迴的劇場版，立即就買了今晚的票！本來去年底去不了東京覺得應該就錯過了在影院看的體驗，感謝NYC讓我能在大屏幕上看到帥到令人尖叫Gojo sensei啊啊啊啊！！！（主線什麼隨便的。。
ok的一部电影，剧情还算紧凑，就整体结构黑星，但是连贯性可以再强一点，演员演技在线，挺好的。
看现在死宅一脸兴奋冲出电影院说“好好看我喜欢”的时候甚至会感觉现在的小孩有点可怜……吃制作精良的垃圾吃久了，连正常的饭是什么味道就忘记了。环境变成这样 你我都有罪。两星给mappa至少打戏画面花钱下功夫认真做了。
