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.

最喜欢的两场是科莉莉娅试镜时的独白和出入名利场和法比安在咖啡店的对话。
导演有才，手持摄影模仿出了两次世界大战之间人们的眩晕、恐慌、不安，一切都在摇摇欲坠的边缘。
这几天看的高分电影都很让我失望啊。以我个人角度来说，名不副实。这部三个小时的德国作品更是平庸至极。法比安的一生，到底是怎样的一生？想通过他来展现德国的社会面貌也比较失败，根本没有感知到社会全景和社会的底层一面。玩艺术也是流于表面，看起来好乱。
太明媚的生命，又太寻常。/开场，摄影机在现代的地铁隧道随着人群前进，出站口的阶梯，一个逆光镜头打在汤姆希林身上，这是电影的比喻。
很轻松的剧情，但是不无聊，看完让人更期待续集了！

艹我好喜欢这部！啊啊啊。我以为是有点无趣的文艺片，没想到有几条故事线，还有很多设计的技巧，有些地方看哭了。。。男女主裸着5号房换到6号房，跳舞、ML，女孩怀疑男孩偷钱给她买裙子，隔着玻璃亲吻，舞台上方看着下方女主背出两人真实际遇的“台词”，拉布德父亲哭泣，男主去学校质问教授，那位有钱的大姐姐和男主的几段偶遇，都好喜欢。。。哎，汤姆希林真的演得好好。
“我有另外一份工作，生活。”
记得先看这个 再看无限列车哈！我都看反了……哈哈哈
虽然其实我像善逸一样懦弱，但还是想努力看看，也许也可以像碳次郎一样温柔而强大
炫技，又放在一个无比冗长的故事里，观感疲惫，一个三小时电影偶尔开了一会儿倍速还是感觉看了一辈子。可能汤姆希林太讨人喜欢了吧，有这种评分。
这种镶嵌使得时代的阴影始终没有远去，却又不时让人遗忘或感到突兀。
除了转换场景的动画和片尾预告和tv版好像一点儿区别也没有😂
剪辑有趣、旁白有趣、手持抖动有趣，结尾遗憾。里面不少裸露画面都很自然，哈哈哈讲真我可做不到光着身子给男朋友跳舞哈哈哈哈～
两天前看的，那时豆瓣因为没认证身份不能标记。我恨豆瓣
几个小人物的际遇折射第三帝国即将夺权的大时代前夜，结构和文本都非常高级。对待爱情友情亲情都如此正值、忠诚和坚毅，视金钱为粪土的完美好男人法比安，有谁不爱？——“不管怎样，生活是最有趣的工作”。
除了无限列车是真的剧场版，其他3个TV版(包括这部)，都是从TV版里各自挑了5集剪出来的。
如何在保留年代感的同时又不失自在 是从2021到1931的无缝跳接 也是战前战后悲凉的社群堆砌
4.法比安为女友写面试台词，女友深受感动，俩人隔着玻璃接吻，预示相爱的两人地位即将发生变化
